The Degrees Initiative is a UK-based NGO that builds the capacity of developing countries to evaluate solar radiation management geoengineering (SRM), a controversial proposal for reducing some impacts of climate change by reflecting sunlight away from the Earth. Degrees is neutral on whether SRM should ever be used, but we believe that developing countries should be empowered to conduct their own research and to play a central role in SRM discussions. The initiative has been working in different forms for over a decade and our work receives worldwide coverage and widespread acclaim.
We seek a Communications Manager to work closely with the Degrees team, the researchers we support in the Global South, and our stakeholders around the world to further raise our profile - initially focusing on the specialist SRM expert community but over time expanding to the broader climate science and policy arena.
The right candidate will manage a multifaceted comms operation that will:
-
promote the work and achievements of Degrees, especially by raising our public profile in the media;
-
support and promote the Global South researchers whom we fund and their SRM research projects;
-
promote an understanding of why Global South experts must be at the centre of SRM discussions;
-
support the organisation’s engagement with diverse stakeholders across the globe;
-
manage the Communications and Programmes Officer.
This role will not suit someone looking for structure and predictability but should be fun and interesting for a self-starter who enjoys shaping events in a rapidly evolving field.
Putting developing countries at the centre of the SRM conversation

Would you like to help create a brighter future for nature?
We are looking for a Chemicals Policy Officer (or Senior Policy Officer) to help develop and promote environmental policy on behalf of our 82 environmental charity members.
The Government has promised to halt the decline of nature by 2030. To succeed, the Government must take a stronger grip on chemicals pollution, from pesticide pollution to toxic chemicals in consumer products. Not a single river in the UK is in good chemical condition and not a single corner of the Earth is free from man-made chemical contamination.
Your job will be to convene some of England’s best environmental policy experts to agree bold and effective shared policy positions in all aspects of chemicals management, from licensing and restrictions to monitoring and enforcement. There will be lots of thinking, lots of writing, and lots of opportunities to shape shared campaigns. You will also play a key role in delivering those messages to key influencers in Government and in Parliament, building powerful partnerships with other sectors along the way.
So, we are looking for someone with a keen eye for detail, the ability to listen and negotiate, and a reasoned and convincing style of written and verbal communication.
We particularly welcome applications from candidates from under-represented backgrounds, including people of colour, disabled people and those from a low-income background, to be part of our small, friendly and collaborative team.
