Lowercarbon Capital backs kickass companies that make real money slashing CO2 emissions, sucking carbon out of the sky, and buying us time to unf**k the planet. We invest in early-stage companies that combine hard science with some bonkers ambitions to decarbonize all sectors of the economy, remove billions of tons of CO2 straight out of the atmosphere, and buy more time for people and ecosystems getting hit first and worst by rising temperatures. We’re looking for an Associate with a technical background to play a key role on our investment team. You’ll support our dealflow processes to make sure nothing falls through the cracks, drive research and diligence for companies we are evaluating for investment, dig in with founders in the throes of company-building, and undoubtedly pick up other responsibilities in the day-to-day running of a venture capital fund. In this job, you’ll work closely with the founders, partners, and climate experts in our community. For curious, driven, and independent candidates, this will be a unique opportunity to develop as a leader in the climate space.Responsibilities <ul style=""><li>Supporting dealflow: You’ll manage internal systems and processes for tracking deals, keep records updated, and make sure nothing falls through the cracks.</li><li>Diligencing promising opportunities: You’ll do market research, competitive analysis, customer calls, expert interviews, and talk to other investors who’re looking at similar opportunities. </li><li>Researching and building out investment theses: You’ll do background research on specific questions and areas of interest so that you and the rest of the team can come to pitch meetings prepared with strong opinions. </li></ul>Skills &amp; Background <ul style=""><li>Mission oriented: Perhaps most importantly, curiosity alone doesn’t drive you. You’re a climate-head intrinsically motivated by the need to meaningfully address the challenge of our times. </li><li>Scientific training: You have a degree or training in the physical sciences or engineering, for example chemistry, physics, applied physics, chemical engineering, materials science and engineering, mechanical engineering, atmospheric sciences, geology, or another relevant STEM field.</li><li>Technology enthusiast: You’re fired up about the thermochemical and electrochemical technologies we’ll need to to decarbonize the industrial sector — from manufacturing, minerals, heating and cooling, to batteries and beyond. </li><li>Highly autonomous: ​ You are comfortable working on and completing projects independently. You are not afraid to ask questions, but err toward having hypotheses or recommendations ready to go alongside them.</li><li>Creative thinker: ​You enjoy thinking about big problems and exploring hard (and sometimes outlandish) solutions. You’re comfortable admitting what you don’t know, nurturing the creativity of others, and being open to feedback.</li><li>Analytical prowess: You can build Excel models in your sleep. You know the right questions to ask, the right data to gather, and how to tease out insights without boiling the ocean. </li><li>Excellent verbal and written communicator: ​You’re able to engage with a diverse range of stakeholders in-person and comfortable drafting memos or written works for a variety of internal and external audiences. </li><li>Holistic research abilities​: You have a curious sensibility, anchor on the right concepts quickly, and go deep enough to be credible in the targeted subject. You know where to go to track down the information you need (including experts in your network).</li><li>Highly attentive to detail​: You take pride in the accuracy and polish of your work. Whether it’s an internal memo or a conference presentation, you always sweat the details. </li><li>Task juggler: You enjoy working on multiple projects simultaneously and can switch gears quickly.</li></ul>This list of qualifications is intended to highlight characteristics we believe are most essential to have immediate success in this role, but there is a wide range of potentially relevant professional and academic experiences. While a background in investing or start-ups could be valuable in this role, we do not consider these prerequisites and look forward to meeting with a diverse group of candidates. We believe diversity is a source of strength. Lowercarbon Capital is an equal opportunity employer and all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability status, protected veteran status, gender identity, sexual orientation, or any other characteristic protected by law.

What is Allied Climate Partners (ACP)? &nbsp;
ACP is a philanthropically-backed investment organization with a mission to accelerate the flow of capital for the climate transition in emerging economies. ACP&rsquo;s goal is to aggregate equity for climate focused, early-stage project development and business funds. The funds are meant to address a critical bottleneck in sustainable infrastructure &ndash; the lack of bankable, climate-related projects and businesses. ACP selects regional investment managers and makes anchor investments of first-loss equity. ACP helps these managers aggregate climate-focused equity funds with a mandate on the early, development stages of projects and asset-oriented businesses. ACP also provides investment managers with value-added support in strategy, recruiting, fundraising, and partnerships. Over time, ACP will seek to establish additional mandates across different themes and geographies in addition to project development.
ACP&rsquo;s initial focus regions are Southeast Asia, Africa, Caribbean &amp; Central America, and India.

ACP&rsquo;s first fund commitment was to anchor SEACEF II, managed by Clime Capital, which reached a $127M first close in December 2023. SEACEF II makes catalytic, early-stage investments in climate-focused projects and companies in Southeast Asia. Over time, ACP intends to aggregate capital to support strategies focused on catalyzing capital formation around business platforms addressing other aspects of energy transition in developing economies.

ACP has been incubated by <a href="https://www.threecairnsgroup.com/">Three Cairns Group</a><a href="https://www.threecairnsgroup.com/">,</a> a philanthropy and investment firm focused on global climate action, based in New York. In addition to Three Cairns, ACP's initial funders include Arnold Ventures, Ballmer Group, Bezos Earth Fund, Anita and Josh Bekenstein, the Children's Investment Fund Foundation (CIFF), Sea Change Foundation International, the Soros Economic Development Fund (SEDF) and several others.
ACP has strategic partnerships with a number of leading MDBs and DFIs, including the International Finance Corporation (IFC), a member of the World Bank Group; U.S. International Development Finance Corporation (DFC); British International Investment (BII), the UK&rsquo;s DFI and impact investor; the African Development Bank (AfDB); Proparco, a subsidiary of Agence Fran&ccedil;aise de D&eacute;veloppement Group; FMO, the Dutch Entrepreneurial Development Bank; and IDB Invest, a member of the InterAmerican Development Bank Group. ACP also signed a strategic partnership agreement with the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS), the Singapore-headquartered global investment company Temasek, and IFC to increase the number of bankable climate projects in Asia.

Allied Climate Partners - Associate

Lowercarbon Capital backs kickass companies that make real money slashing CO2 emissions, sucking carbon out of the sky, and buying us time to unf**k the planet. We invest in early-stage companies that combine hard science with some bonkers ambitions to decarbonize all sectors of the economy, remove billions of tons of CO2 straight out of the atmosphere, and buy more time for people and ecosystems getting hit first and worst by rising temperatures. We’re looking for a Associate with a deep technical background to play a key role on our investment team.

You also have a penchant for the value of distributed energy resources and get excited about energy as a service models.</li><li>Highly autonomous: ​ You are comfortable working on and completing projects independently. You are not afraid to ask questions, but err toward having hypotheses or recommendations ready to go alongside them.</li><li>Creative thinker: ​You enjoy thinking about big problems and exploring hard (and sometimes outlandish) solutions. You’re comfortable admitting what you don’t know, nurturing the creativity of others, and being open to feedback.</li><li>Analytical prowess: You can build Excel models in your sleep. You know the right questions to ask, the right data to gather, and how to tease out insights without boiling the ocean. </li><li>Excellent verbal and written communicator: ​You’re able to engage with a diverse range of stakeholders in-person and comfortable drafting memos or written works for a variety of internal and external audiences. </li><li>Holistic research abilities​: You have a curious sensibility, anchor on the right concepts quickly, and go deep enough to be credible in the targeted subject. You know where to go to track down the information you need (including experts in your network).</li><li>Highly attentive to detail​: You take pride in the accuracy and polish of your work. Whether it’s an internal memo or a conference presentation, you always sweat the details. </li><li>Task juggler: You enjoy working on multiple projects simultaneously and can switch gears quickly.</li></ul>This list of qualifications is intended to highlight characteristics we believe are most essential to have immediate success in this role, but there is a wide range of potentially relevant professional and academic experiences.

<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.
