[Hiring] Senior Organizing Strategist @Axis Talent Partners

Role Description

Industrious Labs is at an inflection point. The cement and concrete industry isn’t the first thing most people think about when it comes to climate justice and the industry benefits from being hidden in this way. Yet cement and concrete create 8% of global emissions, and production across the Global South is projected to grow significantly over the next 25 years. Decisions made now—by governments, producers, funders, and communities—will shape whether that growth locks in decades of pollution or becomes a pathway to green cement, good jobs, and healthier communities.

The Senior Organizing Strategist will sit within our Field Building team, reporting to Dominique Thomas, Chief Visionary Officer, and working closely with colleagues on the Cement Team. This is a relationship-driven, public-facing role at the intersection of organizing, coalition-building, and global strategy, for an equity-centered leader who can build capacity and collective vision across diverse perspectives and experiences.

The purpose of this role is to build strategic, durable, and evergreen power with impacted people, working people, and beyond in the Global South, where cement production will increase over the coming decades. Our vision is a strong Global Cement Network of Global South leaders who are able to lead the transition to green cement.
