About Us
Minderoo Foundation
takes on tough, persistent issues with the potential to drive massive change. We incubate ideas, advocate for systems change and accelerate impact. We push the limits of what is believed possible.
Minderoo Foundation
is proudly Australian, independent, forward thinking and seeks effective, scalable solutions. Through bold, collaborative and selfless action, we seek to dismantle the systems that entrench inequality and advocate for a fairer future.
Minderoo Foundation's Natural Ecosystems Focus Area
drives it's work in environment and conservation. It is dedicated to restoring and maintaining healthy ecosystems, safeguarded for all generations, focusing on the Indo-Pacific region and through our global influence. The 2030 Strategy targets this outcome for Australia and its neighbours, as we strive to act locally and think globally. Our approach emphasises the necessity of applying the Precautionary Principle to protect against serious and irreversible damage to our ecosystems and minimising climate change as a threat multiplier. We will protect and restore our natural ecosystems by fostering legislation, supporting research and development in science and technology, and developing sustainable financial models to balance the needs of our beneficiaries. We will overcome the climate challenge by supporting policy development, public education on climate urgency and demonstrating what a successful transition looks like domestically.
About the Opportunity
We currently have a requirement for a Director, Climate Action to join our Natural Ecosystems Leadership Team, serving as the public face and driving the strategy for Minderoo's climate related work.
As a highly credible and dynamic expert in climate science and innovation, you will communicate complex scientific concepts to diverse audiences, influence policy discussion, and inspire action on climate solutions, whilst leading a team of subject matter experts. Combining your scientific and industry expertise with world-class communications skills, you will advocate for climate solutions, influence public opinions, and elevate Minderoo's mission.
Day to day you will:
- Serve as the primary scientific Climate representative for Minderoo at international events and engagements, supporting the Foundation in delivering informed and impactful speeches and appearances.
- Communicate complex climate science in clear, compelling and culturally appropriate ways to the Minderoo Board, policy makers, global media, and the public.
- Cultivate relationships with global stakeholders, including international organisations, government leaders, and NGO's in order to achieve the strategy.
- Continue to evolve the climate strategy and develop the Bodies of Work and projects that make up the climate change strategy, ensuring objectives are met.
- Co-chair the Lethal Humidity Global Council, a Minderoo-led international coalition of climate leaders raising awareness of the economic, health and humanitarian impacts of lethal humidity caused by worsening climate change, providing international thought leadership, co-authoring and coordination of scientific papers and new research, and advocacy to drive ambitious policy outcomes and global real zero targets.
- Lead the climate team with a values based and inclusive approach to achieve our mission and support the wider Natural Ecosystems Leadership Team.
About You
You are a passionate and inspiring leader who holds a PhD in climate, atmospheric science, environmental science, or similar field, with an additional 15 years' experience in climate science, industrial, or sectoral decarbonisation, environmental policy or philanthropy.
In addition, you will have:
