Greater Sydney Area, Australia Clearwater Partners Full time $120,000 - $180,000 per year

Clearwater Partners are exclusively supporting the Australian Renewable Energy Agency to find exceptional strategy talent to join their growing team.

The Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) is a corporate Commonwealth entity. ARENA's main objective is to improve the competitiveness of renewable energy technologies and increase the supply of renewable energy in Australia. ARENA was established on 1 July 2012 under the Australian Renewable Energy Agency Act 2011 (the ARENA Act).

ARENA supports the Government's emissions reduction goals of 43% reduction in net emissions by 2030 and net zero by 2050, through its focus on technology innovation and commercialisation to the benefit of Australia.

Total funding for ARENA is over $10B through to 2032 with their job to deploy capital into areas that drive the largest material impact for transition. The strategy team are already an exceptional group of talented individuals who usually come from a strategy consulting background. They also have in common the desire to work in the energy space or at least a passion for working on one of the most challenging problems of our time.

As the mandate continues to grow they are hiring a number of positions and as such seeking top talent to come and join them. The strategy team at ARENA is responsible for enabling the organisation to maximise its impact by setting the right mid-term and long-term priorities and supporting the organisation in implementing these priorities.

Some of the responsibilities include but aren't limited to:

  • Keeping up-to-date ARENA's portfolio of priorities to maximise its impact on decarbonisation.
  • Developing approaches to deliver the objectives for each of its priorities (e.g., ultra low-cost solar, electricity transition, renewable hydrogen, transport decarbonisation, low emissions metals) through research, analysis and expert engagement (internal and external).
  • Supporting priority area teams in delivering their strategies through targeted analyses, coaching and thought partnership.
  • Strengthening ARENA's processes to drive impact-maximising decision making and designing and rolling out ARENA's impact assessment approach.
  • Communicating ARENA's priorities and perspectives through ARENA's Corporate Plan, Investment Plan, General Funding Strategy and other media.

We are looking to engage with candidates who preferably have:

  • Strong analytical and quantitative problem-solving skills.
  • Ability to work collaboratively in a team environment.
  • Ability to communicate complex ideas effectively, both verbally and in writing.
  • Good record of leadership in academic, professional, or extracurricular settings.
  • Ability to work effectively with people at all levels in an organisation.
  • Self-starting mindset, with the ability to ramp up quickly on new topics with limited prior knowledge or experience.
  • Strong process management and coordination skills.
  • Ability to establish and develop a variety of relationships with people within and outside the organisation.

This is a truly exciting time to be joining an organisation that is shaping Australia's Energy transition towards a better, sustainable future.
