  • A sense for teamwork and ability to interact with a diverse array of people.
  • Ability to work independently and work on multiple projects at the same time.
  • Our working language is English, therefore excellent English writing and verbal skills are necessary. Basic German skills are welcome, but not required; other language skills are an asset.

Our offer

  • A job with impact. We are at the forefront of the discussion on what countries need to do to limit warming to 1.5°C, and publish a wide range of highly influential reports every year. We have strong links with key decisionmakers, including within the UNFCCC negotiations, and have been a leading voice in the push to keep 1.5°C alive.
  • We are a diverse and inclusive team and welcome your application regardless of your gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, religion, ethnicity, age, neurodiversity, disability status, citizenship, or any other aspect that makes you unique.
