ÑÇɫӰ¿â

Careers at ClimateWorks

We’re hard at work on our mission to end the ÑÇɫӰ¿â crisis.

We could use a few more smart, passionate team members to help us. That’s where you come in.

ÑÇɫӰ¿â is a global non-governmental organization with a single mission: to end the ÑÇɫӰ¿â crisis by amplifying the power of philanthropy. Since our founding in 2008, we have awarded over $2 billion in grants to more than 850 organizations advancing ÑÇɫӰ¿â solutions around the world. We helped grow the field of ÑÇɫӰ¿â philanthropy to where it stands today, establishing infrastructure, global networks, and momentum for continued growth.  Through our Global Programs and ÑÇɫӰ¿â we equip philanthropy with global knowledge, networks, and solutions to drive ÑÇɫӰ¿â progress.

As experts in ÑÇɫӰ¿â science, public policy, economic and social analysis, and strategic philanthropy, ClimateWorks’ staff understands the multi-faceted challenges and opportunities of ÑÇɫӰ¿â change. We are researchers, strategists, collaborators, and grantmakers who care passionately about our mission.

Scaling solutions

Our collaborative Global Programs â€” focused on solution areas including carbon dioxide removal, cooling, industry, transportation, and more — produce results that are bending the greenhouse gas emissions curve. From the U.S. to Europe, China, Brazil, and beyond, we are proud to collaborate with a diverse community of funders, NGOs, and ÑÇɫӰ¿â leaders to accelerate ÑÇɫӰ¿â action around the globe.

Guiding and supporting funders

Our Global ÑÇɫӰ¿â provide funders with comprehensive resources to assess, build, evolve, and execute high-impact ÑÇɫӰ¿â-giving strategies. For example, our flagship Global Intelligence service equips funders with cutting-edge information on greenhouse gas mitigation opportunities, ÑÇɫӰ¿â trends, and global ÑÇɫӰ¿â philanthropy funding flows. We also provide Collaborations and Grantmaking services to funders.

Fostering collaboration, exploration, and growth

By facilitating collaboration through funder forums, learning networks, and joint-action groups, we help build high-trust relationships and create strategic alignment across the ÑÇɫӰ¿â philanthropy ecosystem. Our collaborative approach and commitment to learning ensure that we continuously explore innovative ideas and emerging opportunities — all with the aim of scaling philanthropy-supported initiatives that drive ÑÇɫӰ¿â action.
