About New Energy Nexus

New Energy Nexus (NEX) is an international NGO that supports climate solutions and builds a more equitable clean energy economy. Our laser focus is on clean energy entrepreneurs: providing them with funds, accelerators, and networks to thrive. They are our main audience and our agent of change.

We started in California in 2004 and now operate across China, India, Southeast Asia, East and West Africa, and Australia. We have leveraged US$5.4 billion in investment and supported more than 11,000 entrepreneurs.

About the Role & Opportunity

This is a rare opportunity to own the global channels of an international NGO and tell the stories of some of the world's most promising climate solutions. As a hands-on individual contributor role with strategic ownership, you will run our flagship digital channels — LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, and email — with a clear mandate: grow our reach, expand engagement, and increase conversion rates. 

With the CCO as your sign-off and partner, the editorial standard and the strategy for our global channels are yours to shape. You write and produce the stories of the entrepreneurs we back, and you help chapter teams surface the strongest content from the field. You will not carry it alone. A Marketing Manager, a Design and Brand Strategist, and a roster of consultants work alongside you, which keeps your own hours on strategy, editorial judgment, and the writing only you can do.

Working at New Energy Nexus

You will join a small but mighty global communications team inside a forward-thinking international NGO. We support comms leads in each of the 14 countries we operate in, manage all global channels, and steward the NEX brand and editorial process. Your manager will respect your work-life balance and fully support you in bringing your whole self to work.

This role is remote. You'll need strong wifi and flexibility to meet colleagues across time zones. Relocation assistance is not available.

A Typical Day

You start the day by checking how yesterday's LinkedIn posts and active ad campaigns performed, and what that means for this week's plan. A chapter comms lead in California pings you on Slack with a startup milestone worth telling; you rough out an angle and slot it into the editorial calendar. Mid-morning, you interview a founder in the Philippines for a blog and pull the best quotes for social. In the afternoon, you meet with colleagues, external partners and personal contacts in your network to gauge messaging for COP31. You end the day in the analytics dashboard, noting what's growing, what's flat, and what you'll test next.

Core Responsibilities

Channel growth & engagement

• Own strategy and execution for our global channels: LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, and email
• Set growth targets for each channel, run experiments, and double down on what works

• Manage day-to-day relationships with chapter (country office) comms leads across 14 countries, under CCO direction and support

Data & Analytics

• You will maintain the global analytics dashboard and report monthly on channel performance, turning data into decisions: what to keep, what to change, what to drop
• You will coordinate with chapter comms leads to obtain data – manually, or through shared tools – for the aforementioned dashboard
