Third Way is a national think tank that was founded in 2005 to champion modern center-left ideas. Our work is grounded in the mainstream American values of opportunity, freedom, and security. We are proud of the organization that we have built and continue to seek out talent who contribute to our ambitious mission. We are deeply committed to promoting a culture of results and respect where every employee has opportunities to contribute, develop, and grow professionally. The vision of the Climate & Energy Program at Third Way is for the nations of the free world, led by the United States, to work together to create and use an independent clean energy system, supported by diversified supply chains and the production of critical materials. We must do this because it is in the national interest of the US to increase economic prosperity, ensure our security and protect democracy, and limit the impacts of climate change to 2C or less. We are in an era where rapidly evolving technologies, authoritarian threats, and climate impacts are changing how we live. Energy is at the center of this. The Climate & Energy Program focuses on how well-designed clean energy systems will enable the free world to harness new technologies, make our nations secure and prosperous, and reduce the threat of climate change. To do this, we conduct research, develop policies, and engage in advocacy to create a reliable, independent, affordable, and clean 21st century energy system for the US, and our transatlantic allies.

This will include developing policies to remove these roadblocks and advocating for them across the D.C. policymaking community. We’re looking for a professional who can learn quickly, work collaboratively to promote clean energy financing solutions across our many technological focus areas, and bring their expertise to the frontline of US public policy. As the Senior Policy Advisor for Clean Energy Finance, a typical day might include: Analyzing proposed policy ideas and assessing their impact on financing the development, commercialization, and deployment of clean energy technologies. Conducting qualitative research to better understand the current barriers to financing the deployment of innovative US clean energy technologies, both domestically and abroad.
