Who we’re looking for

You are a forward-thinking professional with a background in building decarbonization initiatives, demand-side management programs, and/or building energy policy.

The correct wording from the original is: "At the same time, you understand that in policy and research-adjacent work, it is useful to know when to push, when to wait, and when to escape?" That is not right. Back to original: "At the same time, you understand that in policy and research-adjacent work, it is useful to know when to push, when to wait, and when to escape? Again...
