The Oxford Net Zero Engagement Team is recruiting for a Serviced Emissions Research & Engagement Manager.
This pivotal role will lead a high-impact initiative focused on advancing the understanding and integration of “serviced emissions” — the emissions influenced by professional service providers (PSPs) such as consultants, lawyers, and advertisers — into global net zero standards.
Reporting to Professor Samuel Fankhauser and under the supervision of Alexis McGivern, Head of Stakeholder Engagement, the successful candidate will be responsible for building and coordinating a new Secretariat body that supports the implementation of guidance for PSPs. The postholder will work closely with a wide range of stakeholders, including NGOs, technical experts, and leading industry practitioners, to ensure serviced emissions are embedded in revised climate standards such as the Science Based Targets initiative, Greenhouse Gas Protocol, and the ISO Net Zero Standard.
This role offers a unique opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge climate policy and research while influencing the practices of key actors in the professional services sector. The ideal candidate will have a strong track record in research and stakeholder engagement, a strategic mindset, and a deep commitment to advancing meaningful climate action.
This is a time-limited role that offers the chance to play a foundational part in shaping a vital area of climate strategy at a critical time for international standards development.
This post is fixed-term for 12 months and offered on a full-time basis.
The deadline to apply is 12pm on Friday 16 May. All applications must be made on the University of Oxford jobs website. For a full job description and to apply, please click here.
