Policy Manager (zero emission trucks)

POLICY MANAGER - ZERO EMISSION TRUCKS

T&E, Europe’s leading clean transport think tank and campaign group, is looking for a Policy Manager to lead our work on zero emission trucking. This is an exciting opportunity to drive policy change at both EU and national level, ensuring that Europe accelerates the supply of electric trucks and the needed roll out of charging infrastructure. But also that we create the right conditions for the logistics sector in making this transition a successful one.   

This role will involve: 

• Advocacy work with the European Parliament and 27 member states, focusing on key regulations such as the upcoming revision of the truck CO2 standards and the Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Regulation.

• Build and maintain good contacts with policymakers, researchers and our network in this field. Speak at events and workshops.

• Contribute to T&E’s strategy for zero-emission road freight and identify new policy streams we could work on. 

• Identify, commission and coordinate impactful research in collaboration with either our in-house data analysts or external consultancies.

• Coordinate and grow T&E’s relationship with truck makers, large freight buyers and the logistics sector through both bilateral relationship and alliance building. 

• Work in close coordination with the freight team members and colleagues from other T&E teams for example on charging infrastructure and grids.

  
  

The successful candidate should meet the following criteria:

• At least five years of total work experience, with some relevant years in politics, the mobility, logistics, or energy sector. 

• A good political feeling, negotiating skills, and ability to strategize on policy files.

• Project management and research skills including strong interpersonal and team-working skills, organizational and coordination skills.

• The confidence to think and act with initiative, to engage and influence policy-makers of different stripes, industry representatives and other stakeholders at the highest level.

• Experience with managing multi-stakeholder coalitions and spotting opportunities for collaboration. Industry coalition experience would be an asset. 

• Good writing, communication and presentation skills.

• A willingness to develop a network in the logistics sector.

• Ability to deliver to tight deadlines; eager to learn, with a positive and optimistic attitude when faced with challenges.         

The position is full-time and based in Brussels, with the possibility of flexible working hours. T&E will offer you a competitive salary in line with your experience and expertise. The position offers the opportunity to grow professionally and build a rewarding career at T&E.

Equally importantly, if you join T&E you’ll have the opportunity to devote your professional energy and creativity to the resolution of one of humankind’s greatest challenges.
