About the Organisation
Agora Energiewende is not a typical NGO.
It sits at the intersection of:
Policy influence
Technical analysis
Global energy strategy
They shape how governments think about energy systems, industry decarbonization, and economic transitions — especially in regions undergoing structural change like South Korea.
What This Role Really Is
This is a policy + strategy + international coordination role.
You are not just writing reports.
You are:
Translating global best practices into Korean policy
Advising stakeholders and governments
Helping design real-world decarbonization pathways
Think of it as:
“Bridge between research, policy, and implementation.”
Core Responsibilities
Research & Analysis
Lead studies on:
- Renewable energy expansion
- Power system transformation
- Industrial decarbonization (steel, chemicals)
Policy Advisory
Analyze Korea’s energy and industrial policies
Develop actionable, evidence-based policy recommendations
Advise government and institutions
Stakeholder Engagement
Work directly with:
- Industry leaders
- Policymakers
- International partners
Translate their needs into policy insights
International Knowledge Transfer

Support broader East Asia transition efforts
Partnerships & Strategy

What You Need
Core Profile

4+ years experience in energy / industry transition
Technical + Strategic Depth
Understanding of:
Energy systems
Industrial decarbonization pathways
Economic and policy frameworks
Regional Advantage

Professional Skills

Stakeholder engagement & diplomacy
Ability to work across cultures and disciplines
Languages
English (required)
Korean (highly valuable)

What Makes This Role Different
Unlike technical carbon roles (like Earthshot):
This is about shaping systems, not measuring them.
You won’t be:
Running field models
Doing MRV audits
You will be:
Influencing national policy
Designing transition pathways
Connecting global expertise to local action
Reality Check (Important)
This role is ideal if you:
Want policy impact
Like international, cross-cultural work
Enjoy research + strategy + stakeholder interaction
This role is not ideal if you:
Prefer technical modeling (forestry, carbon accounting)
Want purely academic research
Avoid stakeholder-facing work
Why This Role Matters
South Korea is one of the most important industrial economies in the world.
Decarbonizing:
Steel
Chemicals
Energy systems
…has global implications.
This role puts you directly in that transformation.
