Editorial Manager - Remote

Position

Global Energy Monitor seeks an experienced editorial and production professional to ensure the quality of its research, reports, and analyses. The Editorial Manager will be in charge of content production, including the development, editing, management, quality control, and implementation of publications, while coordinating with various teams.

The Challenge

According to the Intergovernmental Panel of Climate Change (IPCC), we have less than a decade to make massive and unprecedented changes in the global economy to avoid the worst impacts of climate change. To meet that challenge, Global Energy Monitor is creating trackers and other tools to provide detailed information on energy facilities, sponsors, and financing.
