Thank you for your interest in the Director of Programmes position at Ashden Climate Solutions.
Our new Director will play a critical role in delivering our mission to accelerate the clean energy transition, support natural climate solutions and improve people’s lives in the UK and the Global South, especially the most disadvantaged. We are delighted that you are considering joining us and taking on this exciting and vital challenge.
Born as an annual Awards programme – which still remains the heartbeat of our work – Ashden has been a leading driver of climate action for 25 years. We are proud of the impact we have made in platforming, supporting and networking innovative enterprises, organisations and people – innovators that are not only cutting carbon emissions but also lifting people out of poverty and creating sustainable livelihoods. We are nothing if not ambitious; for example, our biggest current programme has the goal of making all UK schools zero carbon by 2030.
Most importantly, we tell compelling stories about the deeply impressive innovations we spotlight, aiming to inspire decision-makers of all kinds to create the right conditions for such innovations to scale and be replicated.
We are seeking a dynamic and visionary leader who is aligned with our mission and unique approach to direct our programmes in the UK and Global South, ensuring that we resolutely pursue our strategic goals, helping to bring in the funding needed to succeed. As Director of Programmes, you will be also part of our senior leadership team, taking collective responsibility for maximising impact across all Ashden’s work and delivering value to those who generously fund it.
This recruitment pack provides detailed information about the role, our organisation, and the skills and experience we are looking for.
We look forward to hearing from you and wish you the very best of luck with your application.
