- Provide strategic insight and thought leadership on trade and diplomatic engagement with Japan in the context of broader global climate and energy goals.
- Monitor and track developments relating to Japan’s trade relationships with a focus on key partner countries, including various bilateral and multilateral frameworks and agreements (e.g. FTAs), government strategies and publications (e.g. Green Transformation Strategy; and industrial policy priorities, such as the 17 Strategic Fields under Japan’s growth strategy etc.), as well as commercial drivers relating to both traditional and clean energy supply chains, in order to assess their impact on Japan’s energy and economic security priorities and identify opportunities for strategic interventions.
- Produce analysis, presentations, briefings and other materials, both internally to contribute to E3Gs strategic thinking, and to a wide range of external contacts to communicate our analysis and recommendations, in both written and spoken formats.
- Expand E3G’s relationships and networks to relevant institutions and stakeholders in trade, energy and economic security – particularly civil society organisations (CSOs), alongside government officials, research institutions, trade associations and key private sector actors, primarily in Japan and key trade partner countries, to develop productive collaborations that support achieving the programme’s objectives.
- In collaboration with E3G’s Japan experts and trusted partners, maintain and widen the team’s relationships with diplomats and foreign missions and trade representatives to distribute analysis and strategic advice, for example through organising and presenting in online and in-person briefings.
- Represent E3G externally through active participation in civil society meetings, as well as relevant conferences and other events in Japan and internationally as needed; and maintain relations to media and provide commentary and insights about their area of expertise when needed.
Requirements:
- A graduate degree in a relevant discipline, such as trade policy, international relations, climate and energy policy, development, geography, or politics.
- A minimum of six years of relevant professional experience in a related field, such as trade, policy, research or advocacy within a government or international organisation, commercial sector, think tank, civil society or research institute.
- Established connections to organisations and individuals relevant for the role, e.g. government and ministries, trade associations or related research institutions, and the ability to leverage these relationships effectively and in alignment with organisational priorities.
- Strong analytical and strategic thinking, with an aptitude for learning new areas and consider complex information to make evidence-based recommendations.
- Excellent communication skills, able to convey information and arguments to others in a clear, accessible and convincing way including in sensitive or challenging stakeholder contexts.
- Highly organised and attention to detail, able to be proactive and deliver high-quality outputs in a timely manner.
- Strong interpersonal skills, with ability to form high-trust relationships with various external stakeholders and handle sensitive information with discretion, as well as patience and resilience in long-term engagement processes.
- Excellent written and spoken Japanese and English.
- Ability to work effectively and collaboratively in an international team environment.
Benefits:
- Initial contract of one year, with possibility of extension, for a full-time position.
- Fully remote and flexible working arrangements.
- 16 vacation days + additional leave between Christmas and New Year.
