Program Overviews
The US Program works to accelerate the US transition to a climate-aligned future. The US Program collaboratively develops RMI’s overall US strategy by establishing clear priorities while working to integrate, elevate, and fill gaps among US-focused work across RMI’s programs. The US Program works with government, industry, and civil society across all economic sectors to accelerate US decarbonization. Within the US Program, four teams work jointly to impact change at the federal, regional, state, and local levels. Combined, our program harnesses technical analysis, outreach, informed advocacy, and communications to secure bold policies and achieve our climate goals.
Position Overview
Methane is the “now” climate pollutant. Atmospheric concentration of methane is at an all-time high, with an unprecedented rate of increase. Methane is responsible for 30 percent of global warming to date and the US oil and gas sector is a key driver. Existing federal policy is insufficient for reducing methane at the speed and scale needed. Now, we have an opportunity to take major action on methane by fully measuring emissions, securing strong state-level policies, and activating key market actors to eliminate the worst of wasted methane emissions. Combined, these efforts can benefit our planet, consumers, and our national security.
This position will focus on designing and implementing a strategy to secure strong state and federal policies to reduce methane emissions from the U.S. oil and gas sector.
As a Manager, you will work closely with and under the direction of RMI’s Principals and Managing Directors to design strategies and execute projects that deliver meaningful impact for the planet. Your job will be to lead a team to execute on the project vision, providing day-to-day project leadership and mentoring your team.
Core Responsibilities
Contribute in designing a subnational strategy to reduce methane emissions from the U.S. oil and gas sector
Engage with policymakers and external partners to support methane emission reduction
Manage projects to yield breakthrough insights and results
