Location: Remote within the UK only. Regular virtual meetings and frequent travel are required.

Full-time, Temporary through December 31, 2025 

OVERVIEW

The climate emergency is the defining challenge of our time, demanding an urgent and transformative response. The window for small, incremental action has closed; the moment for bold, emergency-level action is now.

Action for the Climate Emergency (ACE) operates at the intersection of zero-carbon energy advocacy, strategic media, and civic participation to accelerate global decarbonisation. Through cutting-edge media strategies, ACE combats related disinformation, flattens the curve of renewable energy opposition, increases diverse participation in our democracy, and inspires meaningful action. Our programmes engage tens of millions of people annually, mobilising audiences that traditional climate efforts often overlook.

ACE’s dynamic and diverse team thrives in a fast-paced, high-stakes environment, united by a shared commitment to addressing the climate crisis. As we expand to meet this critical moment, we seek talented individuals eager to make an impact.

JOB SUMMARY

To meet our climate goals, we must decarbonise our economy at a breakneck speed over the next decade. That includes accelerating deployment of utility-scale, renewable energy projects. We see the biggest opportunities to advance decarbonisation at the local and regional levels—accelerating utility-scale solar, wind and BESS projects in communities across the world, fighting local regulatory and planning policies that are detrimental to the energy transition, and proactively advancing policies that support deployment, bring economic and community benefits to people, and balance environmental impacts.

The Director of Renewables, UK will focus on advancing renewable  energy siting and permitting campaigns, as well as related regulatory, planning and policy advocacy. This role will help identify opportunities to flatten the curve of local disinformation and related opposition, drive action-taking in support of renewable energy deployment, promote pro-development policies and regulations, and foster ideal conditions to facilitate faster deployment. The Director will combine strategic leadership with hands-on campaign execution and research to support ACE’s mission of accelerating utility-scale, zero-carbon energy deployment.

Reporting to the Chief Strategy Officer, this position is ideal for an individual with experience in renewable energy development in the UK and related regulatory affairs who is eager to take on a leadership role in advancing zero-carbon energy solutions at the local and regional levels.

This is a full-time, remote role based anywhere in the United Kingdom. The incumbent will work from a home office, participate in regular in-person events, fieldwork, and both internal and external meetings. Frequent interactions through video chat with ACE team members, industry clients, partners, vendors, and funders are expected. The role requires flexibility to work irregular hours as needed and a willingness to travel for field-based activities and partner meetings.
