Through convening, policy analysis, and consumer awareness building, the Coalition is pursuing fast, fair action to accelerate the development of zero-emission homes and buildings that will help California cut one of its largest sources of climate pollution while creating safe, healthy, and affordable communities.</p><p>Burning fossil fuels for heating and cooking poses a serious threat to our health and the planet — making buildings and homes the largest source of climate pollution in the world.

</ol>
<p>We are looking for another Director to join our Analytics Hub, preferably via one of our European hubs to help oversee SYSTEMIQ&rsquo;s analytical work-programme. Primarily this will be about developing system models (most notably around country and decarbonization and energy transition modelling). The successful candidate will be responsible for developing analyses which answer some of the most complex and challenging questions on the road to a net-zero or net-positive economy, and for using these insights to help build consensus on critical actions for the next decade. The work includes all facets of the analytics process; techniques, organization, internal education and hiring.</p>
<p>This is an exciting opportunity to define the analytics platform at a growing and ambitious consultancy. The candidate will be one of SYSTEMIQ&rsquo;s go-to expert on everything analytics, leading a central team of 5-10 specialists, working closely with all platforms.</p>
<p>The successful candidate will have an appetite to grip the big picture and the systems-implications of our work on decarbonization, material flows, nature and planetary boundaries, while also understanding the details underpinning analytical work and advanced modelling skills required. The candidate will be proactive and able to deliver autonomously, taking ownership for the set up of the team and its strategy, whilst progressively building out and linking up models and modules.</p>
