<h3>Who We Are</h3>The Clean Fight is a not-for-profit dedicated to accelerating the equitable adoption of climate solutions in New York State and beyond. Given that many of the technologies we need to solve the climate crisis already exist, it’s imperative that we ensure they are adopted quickly, equitably, and at scale. To enable this adoption, The Clean Fight designs and implements different models of adoption to identify and share the actionable strategies that can lead to the rapid deployment of decarbonization solutions, for all. Our programs focus on different parts of the clean energy economy, with practice areas that include buildings, energy storage, and food services.The Clean Fight currently has three core programs. The <a href="https://www.thecleanfight.com/accelerator">accelerator program</a> is New York State’s only accelerator focused on growth-stage companies, supporting innovative climate companies looking to move from initial deployment to broad market adoption. Our program is designed to help them quickly scale by collapsing the sales cycle through high-touch customer and capital partner matchmaking, technical assistance, and non-dilutive investments to help with initial deployments. Our second program, the <a href="https://www.thecleanfight.com/etp">Empire Technology Prize</a>, is a $10M prize program focused on advancing the development and deployment of easy to adopt clean heating solutions for New York's tall buildings. By focusing the world’s best innovators on this issue, combined with the involvement of New York's leading real estate players as demonstration partners, we hope not only to collapse the time to market for these crucial technologies, but to provide a blueprint for other markets in the US and globally to do the same. Our latest program, the <a href="https://thecleanfight.com/programs/capital-challenge">Energy Storage Capital Challenge</a>, is designed to support innovative energy storage projects in need of capital to advance their deployment in New York State. This is a pivotal time for energy storage innovation in New York, with unprecedented Federal and State incentives, policy, and funding to support the deployment of projects. However, significant obstacles exist for innovators and developers to successfully deploy in New York’s unique market. The Energy Storage Capital Challenge is focused on one key need: Aligning capital to accelerate innovative energy storage projects.We are supported by the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA), the U.S. Economic Development Administration (EDA), the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), and New Energy New York (NENY).

<h3>Who We Are</h3>
The Clean Fight is a not-for-profit dedicated to accelerating the equitable adoption of climate solutions in New York State and beyond. Given that many of the technologies we need to solve the climate crisis already exist, it&rsquo;s imperative that we ensure they are adopted quickly, equitably, and at scale. To enable this adoption, The Clean Fight designs and implements different models of adoption to identify and share the actionable strategies that can lead to the rapid deployment of decarbonization solutions, for all. Our programs focus on different parts of the clean energy economy, with practice areas that include buildings, energy storage, and food services.
The Clean Fight currently has three core programs. The&nbsp;<a class="button--2de5X button--14TuV tertiary--1JsWJ external" tabindex="0" href="https://www.thecleanfight.com/accelerator" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" data-role="button-link">accelerator program</a>&nbsp;is New York State&rsquo;s only accelerator focused on growth-stage companies, supporting innovative climate companies looking to move from initial deployment to broad market adoption. Our program is designed to help them quickly scale by collapsing the sales cycle through high-touch customer and capital partner matchmaking, technical assistance, and non-dilutive investments to help with initial deployments. Our second program, the&nbsp;<a class="button--2de5X button--14TuV tertiary--1JsWJ external" tabindex="0" href="https://www.thecleanfight.com/etp" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" data-role="button-link">Empire Technology Prize</a>, is a $10M prize program focused on advancing the development and deployment of easy to adopt clean heating solutions for New York's tall buildings. By focusing the world&rsquo;s best innovators on this issue, combined with the involvement of New York's leading real estate players as demonstration partners, we hope not only to collapse the time to market for these crucial technologies, but to provide a blueprint for other markets in the US and globally to do the same.
Our latest program, the&nbsp;<a class="button--2de5X button--14TuV tertiary--1JsWJ external" tabindex="0" href="https://thecleanfight.com/programs/capital-challenge" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" data-role="button-link">Energy Storage Capital Challenge</a>, is designed to support innovative energy storage projects in need of capital to advance their deployment in New York State. This is a pivotal time for energy storage innovation in New York, with unprecedented Federal and State incentives, policy, and funding to support the deployment of projects. However, significant obstacles exist for innovators and developers to successfully deploy in New York&rsquo;s unique market. The Energy Storage Capital Challenge is focused on one key need: Aligning capital to accelerate innovative energy storage projects.
We are supported by the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA), the U.S. Economic Development Administration (EDA), the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), and New Energy New York (NENY). We are a chapter of New Energy Nexus, an international not-for-profit that strives to achieve a 100% clean energy economy for 100% of the population in the shortest time possible by supporting diverse clean energy entrepreneurs with funds, accelerators, and networks, operating programs in the US, China, India, Southeast Asia, and East Africa.
&nbsp;
<h3>About the Role</h3>
The Partnerships Manager will work with the Director of Partnerships and the Partnerships Associate as well as other members of The Clean Fight team to help design and execute our partnerships model across programs. Each practice area focuses on a different part of the clean energy economy - accordingly, a different group of partners needs to be identified and convened for each program to maximize the ability of our cohort companies to secure commercial, funding, and other opportunities.&nbsp;
The Partnerships Manager will develop and manage a network of customer, capital, and policy partners. The person in this role will lead outreach and manage day-to-day relationships with partners.

<h4>About Work on Climate&nbsp;</h4>
Work On Climate is a 501(c)(3) non-profit focused on building the workforce to solve climate change equitably and justly.
The world will need hundreds of millions of people working on building a clean economy. A necessary step on that journey is supporting a robust ecosystem of founders starting organizations that make a meaningful contribution to solving climate change while creating jobs.
We made our name building the world&rsquo;s largest professional and entrepreneurial community for people who want to work on climate. Our community has over 3500+ founders and people looking for co-founders, from large public climate companies to early stage startups backed by well known VCs and prominent non-profits. Our work has been highlighted in most major business press, from FastCompany to the New York Times.
<h4>&nbsp;</h4>
<h4>About the role</h4>
You will be responsible for helping thousands of talented and passionate founders in our community acquire the skills and build the connections necessary for success. The work you do with these founders should be done with constant attention to scalability and a path to indirect impact far beyond the community in the coming years.
The right candidate for this role is someone with a passion for working with founders, a wide range of community management skills (including facilitating online or in person events and discussion in slack), strong writing skills (e.g. producing informative content for founders and marketing language for community events and programs), good communication skills with internal and external stakeholders, an ability to be organized and manage projects &mdash;&nbsp;both individually and via a network of collaborators. Previous experience working with founders, particularly climate founders, will be highly considered.
You will run a new program helping founders gain the skills they need for the success:
<ul>
<li aria-level="1">Design and run founder-related events and programs (including sourcing speakers or experts, coordinating with stakeholders, facilitating group activities, etc.)</li>
<li aria-level="1">Run regular welcome calls for community members who are or want to be founders</li>
<li aria-level="1">Maintain and improve community-facing founder-related content, such as starter packs, onboarding materials, and notion/website pages &mdash;&nbsp;keep this content up to date both with our programs and with the wider trends of the founder ecosystem</li>
<li aria-level="1">Participate in discussions among founders, keep a pulse on the community, engage with members directly and help them connect with each other and with relevant resources</li>
<li aria-level="1">Ensure that our programs effectively support diverse founders</li>
<li aria-level="1">Perform user research on the needs and experiences of community founders</li>
<li aria-level="1">Contribute content to the community newsletter and social media highlighting important founder related programs, events, and resources</li>
<li aria-level="1">Be the main point of contact for WoCl members on founder-related topics. Become viewed as a critical resource for climate founders in our community.</li>
<li aria-level="1">Execute operational tasks as needed to make your work more efficient or robust, such as setting up forms, automations, collecting and performing basic analysis of data</li>
</ul>
We are looking more for a combination of talents and inclinations than for specific credentials:
<ul>
<li aria-level="1">You care about climate change and are aligned with the idea of solving it by engaging founders in building a greener economy</li>
<li aria-level="1">You are passionate about understanding and helping people (and founders in particular), and are highly thoughtful about what it takes to be truly good at it</li>
<li aria-level="1">You are able to empathize with, collaborate with, and see the world through the eyes of people whose background or circumstances are different from yours.</li>
<li aria-level="1">You have exceptional communication skills: you are charismatic when facilitating events; you write clear, concise, and helpful content; you can de-escalate a tense dialogue</li>
<li aria-level="1">You speak truth to power; you are equally comfortable constructively challenging others&rsquo; ideas or delivering difficult messages to a peer, a report, or a higher-up</li>
<li aria-level="1">You check, double-check, and triple-check; you are known for being obsessive over details that others may overlook &mdash; things go smoothly when you&rsquo;re in charge</li>
<li aria-level="1">You have strong collaboration, project management, and basic people management skills: you can get a group of busy people with different working styles to deliver a project together, and maintain strong relationships with those you work with regularly</li>
<li aria-level="1">You are pragmatic, nimble, resourceful, self-driven, and organized &mdash; you only need direction for strategic guidance, never as a reminder that something needs to be done. When you&rsquo;re stuck, you quickly and proactively seek help to get unstuck.</li>
<li aria-level="1">Both novelty and consistency appeal to you &ndash; when parts of your work are recurrent, you take pride in delivering reliably excellent output every time</li>
<li aria-level="1">You have a passion for learning and learn quickly &mdash; when you need a new tool to get the job done, you get excited and quickly become fluent with it</li>
<li aria-level="1">You have strong technical literacy and are able to make your work more efficient or more reliable using tools, including no-code tools</li>
<li aria-level="1">You are interested in thinking about complex systems at a root level, analyzing causes and ways of creating the most influence with the least effort</li>
</ul>
That said, some combination of the following would be a strong signal for us:
<ul>
<li aria-level="1">Experience working with founders, a good understanding of the realities of being a founder at early stages / in climate&nbsp;</li>
<li aria-level="1">Experience in a start-up environment, whether private, public, or non-profit</li>
<li aria-level="1">Experience with managing projects and/or people, and meeting metrics-based goals</li>
<li aria-level="1">Experience facilitating online events or workshops</li>
<li aria-level="1">Experience and passion for helping diverse users</li>
<li aria-level="1">Experience conducting user research or collecting and analyzing data</li>
<li aria-level="1">Technical or business aptitude, such as a background in engineering, science, finance, business development, or other disciplines related to commercialization of technology.</li>
</ul>
