SYSTEMIQ was set up in 2016 to drive the implementation of the Paris Agreement and the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by transforming markets and business models in three key economic systems: land use, materials and energy. By addressing failures in these systems, SYSTEMIQ aims to unlock economic opportunities that benefit business, society and the environment. We do this through five activities:

1. Convene and support coalitions of leaders to shape policies and business strategies that will rapidly transform economic activity
2. Work with companies that want to be pioneers in and drivers of change towards more sustainable systems
3. Co-create and incubate the market solutions most likely to build regenerative economic systems
4. Invest our own venture capital and expertise in opportunities with the biggest potential to drive rapid system change
5. Direct larger pools of capital into regenerative economic systems, enabling them to scale and multiply.

To deliver in these areas, we recruit and develop distinctive and varied individuals who strive to achieve our mission, challenge the status quo and act as change leaders.

We are always looking for experienced consultants & project managers to help deliver and/or lead teams on exciting opportunities. This highly strategic work involves some of the most prominent institutions in the field, has a very international character and aims at significant impact over the next 3-5 years. It requires very advanced problem solving, analytical and relationship skills and the experience of leading project teams to deliver breakthrough insights, action and results. Our teams are typically small (2-5 people) and you might be involved in more than one project/venture at a time. Occasionally, you may be working with one of our partners in a standalone capacity.

We are specifically looking for an associate with 3-5 years of professional experience to join a 2-year international initiative to assess the value of Ocean goods and services in economic planning and support the sustainable use of Ocean resources. This initiative is led by 12 heads of government and the UN Secretary-General’s Special Envoy for the Ocean.

• Strong analytics and problem solving/ structuring skills
• Masters or equivalent degree (ocean related is a plus)
• Ocean-related professional background (Ocean economics, sustainable fisheries, oceanography, maritime law and governance, etc.)
• Instinctive ability to absorb and digest relevant scientific literature from multiple sources
• Relationship management skills, also on a senior level (senior scientists, C-level from the industry, policy makers etc.)
• Entrepreneurial spirit with the ability to identify opportunities and new initiatives
• Comfortable with a level of international travel. This will vary depending on project but could be up to 20-30%. (However, we don't normally co-locate with clients and typically these are short term trips)

We offer the opportunity to benefit from the world-leading networks of our partners and be part of a high-calibre, driven, and fun/friendly team. There is also the possibility to gain experience in project development and venture capital.

We are keen to receive applications from all parts of the global community. Ideally, you have the Right to Work in the UK.
