Job description

JOB SUMMARY:
 
The Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) is a non-profit, bipartisan public policy organization established in 1962 to provide strategic insights and practical policy solutions to decision makers concerned with global security and prosperity.  Over the years, it has grown to be one of the largest organizations of its kind, with a staff of some 250 employees, including more than 120 analysts working to address the changing dynamics of international security across the globe.

Expanding electric mobility adoption, primarily by shaping state-level policies, target-setting, and smart infrastructure build-out, and
Improving state-level energy efficiency policies, as part of a project consortium. 
 
This role is more "engagement-oriented," rather than academic.

Though, rigorous research and sectoral understanding still underpin all of our work.
 
The ideal candidate will have deep knowledge of the energy sector and technologies involved with climate change mitigation-including electric mobility-and practical experience working in this sector in India-particularly at the subnational level.

Organize technical exchanges and workshops between Indian state officials and global partners- notably from U.S. state governments. This includes speaker recruitment, agenda preparation, and organizing media coverage (when appropriate).
Lead on research projects related to India's energy sector policies and climate change actions and ensure deliverables are timely completed. This includes completing long-form research reports, as well as occasional articles for the CSIS website and external media outlets. 
Lead donor engagement on current projects and prospective projects within the portfolio 
Cultivate partnerships with prospective donors to secure additional funding including drafting concept notes. Track India's national and subnational energy policies, including advanced drafts of proposed policies. 
Manage an array of outside technical experts that can engage in our work and consult with Indian state governments. 
Periodically review and update content on our Engaging Indian States microsite. 
Visit Indian states to engage officials and build/ maintain relationships with key officials from prioritized Indian states. 
When needed, represent the India Chair at meetings and events.
 
KNOWLEDGE, EDUCATION, AND EXPERIENCE:
 
B.A. required.  Deep knowledge of energy sector issues in India is important. An advanced degree in a related field is a plus;
For a Senior Fellow- At least 9 years' experience working on Indian energy-climate issues in some capacity;
For a Fellow- At least 6 years' experience working on Indian energy issues; 
Prior fundraising experience is a plus 
Superior writing and analytical skills;
Ability to operate under pressure and in a fast-paced environment;
Ability to work in D.C. within CSIS headquarters at least 4/5 days of the work week 
A track record of building and maintaining relationships with contacts related to our policy work, including government, nonprofit, and corporate staff in India, the U.S. and other foreign countries. 
Must possess strong communication skills including the ability to effectively present information and respond to questions from constituency groups, media, governmental entities, and the general public;
Strong organizational skills and attention to detail;
Candidates should possess sound judgment and impeccable integrity, positive attitude and creative outlook;
Must be willing to travel, particularly to India, approximately 10% of the year;
Ability to interact with and respond to questions from a range of individuals with diverse interests, backgrounds and dispositions.
