The Team You're Joining

• We aim to accelerate the decarbonization of the global shipping industry by driving a shift away from fossil fuels toward green fuels, focusing on the financial institutions that enable the construction of new fossil-fueled vessels, and encouraging them to align their portfolios and commitments with a zero-emission shipping future.
• We work to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by assessing banks, export credit agencies (ECAs), and other capital providers on their shipping portfolios, climate commitments, alignment with decarbonization pathways, and the harms caused by continued fossil fuel vessel financing.

How You'll Contribute

• Produce applied research on the financial institutions that finance new vessel construction; analyzing their shipping portfolios, climate commitments, and alignment (or misalignment) with decarbonization pathways
• Trace vessel financing structures (syndicated loans, ECA facilities, bond financing, leasing) to identify which lenders are enabling new fossil fuel vessel orders
• Draft policy proposals and advocacy materials addressing financial instructions globally
• Produce content that highlights the harms of financing fossil-fueled vessels
• Communicate and quickly build strong relationships with domestic and international climate and finance organizations, including research institutes
• Support relevant campaigns and the hosting of events, including seminars

Who We're Looking For

• Proficiency in both Korean and English (speaking and writing)
• 2-6 years of work or research experience
• Genuine interest in industrial emissions, decarbonization, and climate issues
• Willingness to learn about and understand the shipping and finance industries
• Outstanding collaboration and communication skills

Nice to Have

• Background in shipping, ship finance, or financial industry
• Degree or work/research experience related to finance, climate, energy, or environment
• Experience writing policy proposals, reports, or research articles, and/or experience with quantitative analysis
• Research, advocacy, or campaign experience in civil society, research institutes, or think tanks
