The Clean Fight is a not-for-profit dedicated to accelerating the adoption of climate solutions in New York State and beyond. Our goal is to help fulfill the necessarily aggressive climate targets enacted by New York City and State, with a growth-stage accelerator and prize programs focused on scaling the best climate tech companies from around the world. We do this by assisting with business development, corporate and investor partnerships, tailored technical support, and providing non-dilutive grants to help de-risk pilots in New York State and nationwide. Underpinning our work is a focus on facilitating the adoption of solutions that will disproportionately impact frontline and underserved communities, supporting underrepresented founders, and ensuring that the energy transition is just and equitable.
We are supported by the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA), a public benefit corporation advancing clean, resilient, and affordable energy solutions for New Yorkers, the U.S. Department of Commerce, along with philanthropic funding. We are the NY chapter of New Energy Nexus, an international non-profit organization that strives to achieve a 100% clean energy economy for 100% of the population in the shortest time possible by supporting diverse clean energy entrepreneurs with funds, accelerators, and networks. New Energy Nexus operates programs in the US, China, India, Southeast Asia, and East Africa.
The candidate will support the efforts of the Marketing team at The Clean Fight across multiple programs which may include the International Landing Pad Network, Multifamily Affordable Housing Accelerator, Empire Technology Prize, Energy Storage Deployment Accelerator, and the Deployment Grant Fund, as well as future programs.
The candidate will also take part in a variety of team meetings and strategic brainstorms. This opportunity allows the candidate to join a small team of experienced professionals who are on a mission to decarbonize New York and create a healthier, more abundant future for all through accelerating adoption of the most promising climate solutions. Applicants can expect to work in a fast-paced, collaborative environment where they will develop professional skills in communication, research, writing, and project management.
