ABOUT MARKET FORCES

Since 2013, Market Forces has been working to redirect finance away from activities that harm the environment and into those that protect and enhance it. We focus on the role that banks, superannuation funds and other investors, insurance companies and governments play in financing environmentally risky and damaging activities. We strongly focus on climate change and the essential energy revolution the world needs to undertake if we are to secure a stable long-term climate. Our team delivers and supports campaigns on the most egregious examples of fossil fuel polluters, extending that support to partners in Asia and beyond, wherever we can make the best interventions to shift finance away from dirty fossil fuels.

• Deeply held passion for protecting the environment and solving the climate crisis.
• Outstanding written and verbal communication skills.
• High degree of empathy and ability to appreciate others' perspectives.
• High level of personal organisation and time management.
• Demonstrated capacity to work autonomously on a range of varied tasks and projects, and take the initiative to do what is required to get the job done.
• Ability to handle and process information quickly.
• Ability to analyse politically complex situations and develop strategy in an uncertain, fast-paced campaign environment.
• Collaborative approach to campaigning.
• Able to motivate activists and volunteers.
• Knowledge of climate change and energy issues and/or the workings of financial institutions preferred.
