ISC is seeking a Senior Program Officer to support the implementation of its climate and energy programs for China. In particular, the person in this position will be the primary VT-based staff person working on the community-based elements of ISC's two programs in China: the Guangdong Environmental Partnership (GEP) and the US-China Partnership for Climate Action (PCA). These programs are working intensively with communities - cities, towns and metropolitan regions - in two Chinese provinces (Guangdong and Jiangsu) to identify, assess and implement effective actions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by increasing energy efficiency and bolstering the supply of, and demand for, renewable energy. We are doing this by providing training and peer-learning services to local climate and energy practitioners; linking Chinese practitioners with their US counterparts and leading experts; accelerating the transfer of promising practices in local climate and energy solutions; and building the capacity of Chinese partners to serve as learning and networking hubs. The successful candidate will possess strong and proven abilities to design and implement complex programs in collaboration with multiple US and Chinese partners. Exceptional research, analytical, communications and project management skills are required. Qualified applicants will have extensive experience with community-based action to increase energy efficiency and reduce climate pollution. The person in this position works closely with other ISC staff based in both the US and China.
