An Opportunity for Leadership

SYSTEMIQ, along with our partners, has built a bold, outcomes-driven program that measurably reduces ocean plastic pollution where it matters most. Together with the government, we build circular, sustainable waste systems that result in cleaner, more thriving communities and a healthier environment. Now it is time to take this program to the next level, graduating from Kecamatan to full regencies and beyond bring circular waste collection to millions of people.

Ultimately, we envision an Indonesia without plastic pollution. A country with clean, modern waste management for every household and business. We are looking for smart, ambitious, innovative leaders to join us in this ambitious work.

SYSTEMIQ

With offices in London, Munich, São Paulo, Amsterdam, Jakarta and Bali, SYSTEMIQ is an organisation driving system change in clean energy, circular material solutions and sustainable land use. By addressing failures in these areas, SYSTEMIQ aims to unlock economic opportunities that benefit business, society and the environment.

In order 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 seeking a Behaviour Change expert for Banyuwangi, who is experienced in designing and guiding programs that inspire whole communities to form new, healthier habits. In Project STOP programs we are introducing waste management systems to communities who often have never experienced a waste system before. This involves inspiring four significant behaviour changes within communities – (1) to stop burning or dumping their waste, (2) to use the new waste system, (3) to pay a nominal fee which covers waste collection costs and (4) to separate their waste into organic and non-organic fractions. This expert’s role will be to create a wholistic approach to achieve these behaviours, guide the city or regency in enacting and tracking results of the approach, and ultimately building the local government’s staff capacity to continue the behaviour change work for years to come. We are also starting to work with larger and larger communities and need innovative thinkers to experiment with different techniques to inspire hundreds of thousands of people quickly.

Responsibilities:

• Inspire people to care about the environment and their community enough to engage in responsible waste practices

• Build and implement powerful behaviour change campaigns that resonate with the community

• Work with our Communications team to build memorable campaign assets (e.g., social media, videos, posters, contests, radio spots, songs, etc.)

• Lead a team of community facilitators who will spread your messaging far and wide

• Monitor the impact of your campaigns and continually experiment until you find a formula that works well

• Develop a system to institutionalise behavior change actions with the local government which can sustainably run behaviour change campaigns long term

• Train regency staff to run their own impactful behaviour change work in the future

• Potentially advise other units of government – national, regional, and local – on impactful, sustainable approaches to behaviour change
