About the job
About Cascade Climate
Become a part of Cascade Climate, a leading global nonprofit dedicated to advancing innovative climate solutions from the periphery to the forefront. Our mission is to tackle the accelerating climate crisis by not only reducing carbon emissions but also by significantly enhancing efforts to mitigate super pollutant emissions, such as methane and refrigerants, to achieve immediate cooling for our planet. Furthermore, we aim to scale carbon removal technologies to restore atmospheric balance over the long term. Many effective solutions are currently underutilized, not due to their lack of potential, but because they require the necessary impetus to overcome barriers to adoption.
Founded in 2023, Cascade is committed to boosting the world's capacity for sustainable carbon removal through enhanced rock weathering (ERW) and improving lifecycle refrigerant management while transitioning to lower Global Warming Potential (GWP) alternatives. We lead ambitious initiatives across markets, policies, and scientific research to dismantle the most significant obstacles to progress.
With support from esteemed philanthropic organizations like the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, Grantham Foundation, and Quadrature Climate Foundation, Cascade is a team of exceptional individuals from various backgrounds—artists, community builders, entrepreneurs, scientists, and policy strategists—united to address one of the most urgent challenges of our time.
About the Role
We are excited to announce the launch of our first major program in Southeast Asia, focused on refrigerant management and transition. We are seeking a dedicated team member based in Singapore or Bangkok to help us shape this initiative. This is a full-time, one-year fixed-term position with potential for extension.
Your primary responsibility will involve leading an extensive market analysis to evaluate and document the current state of next-generation cooling equipment and lifecycle refrigerant management across Southeast Asia. Your insights will be crucial in laying the groundwork for future regional engagement and program development. This role centers around translating real-world data from the heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration (HVACR) industry—covering supply chains, equipment servicing practices, policy implementation, and societal norms—into actionable insights that will directly influence Cascade's program design.
You will collaborate closely with industry partners in the refrigerant and HVACR sectors, policymakers, and service technicians, which may require occasional travel throughout East and Southeast Asia. Additionally, you will engage regularly with our U. S.-based team, which may necessitate participation in meetings outside standard local business hours.
