Transport & Environment (T&E) is seeking a highly motivated and proactive market analyst in the area of batteries and upstream supply chains.
The role will focus on analysing and mapping battery metals and other vehicle supply chains, and using this analysis to shape policies to make the supply chain more sustainable and responsible.
This is a role based in T&E’s vehicles team in Brussels.
Transport & Environment is Europe’s leading clean transport campaign group. Our vision is a zero-emission mobility system that is affordable and has minimal impacts on our health, climate and environment. Our staff in Brussels, Rome, Berlin, Paris, Madrid, Warsaw and London collaborate with our over 60 member and supporter groups to clean up the transport sector.
T&E has shaped some of Europe’s most important environmental laws. T&E got the EU to set the world’s most ambitious CO2 standards for cars and trucks, helped uncover the Dieselgate scandal and helped create the world’s first sustainable battery law – just to name a few.
The position requires a person who can go from grasping the technical and economic issues related to raw material extraction, refining and supply chains and do the necessary research, to translating this information into reports and other communication materials to diverse audiences and use for doing advocacy work.
The successful candidate will demonstrate the ability to grasp technical and economic issues related to raw materials extraction, refining and upstream vehicle supply chains, to analyse different policy scenarios and model future trends, and to translate them into simple and persuasive messages.
We offer the chance to help shape policies with huge implications for people and the environment in Europe. Sustainable and responsible supply chains is an area where a lot of new policy and developments are expected in the coming years, so the candidate will have a chance to influence one of the key future areas in climate politics. The role is based within the Vehicles team but will require you to collaborate with colleagues from other teams across Europe. This is a full-time position based in Brussels. A more flexible working schedule can be discussed.
