About Spark

What will it take to return to a safe, stable climate? What are the missing solutions, responses, knowledge bases, and organizational structures that will enable us to get there, and how do we start building for them now?

Spark is a new, well-funded non-profit organization accelerating progress in under-developed, high-potential solutions and responses that are crucial to the comprehensive portfolio that will allow us to return to a safe climate.

As a field-building organization, Spark creates holistic strategies, orchestrating and driving action, using multiple levers such as funding scientific research and policy advocacy, to shape the long-term trajectory of the field to accelerate meaningful climate impact. Spark is steadfastly focused on climate impact at a meaningful scale. To that end, we think big, and are always looking for what the most additive, highest-leverage work we can do is.

Our team has deep expertise in science, engineering, and climate-focused philanthropy. Spark’s funders include the Grantham Foundation, Quadrature Climate Foundation, Astera Institute, Climate Pathfinders Foundation, Additional Ventures, and the Bernard and Anne Spitzer Charitable Trust.

About the Role

Spark is looking for an Enteric Methane Analyst to join our Enteric Methane team and support the development of a strategic cross-sectoral roadmap that identifies the key actors and leverage points to accelerate the development of commercial solutions to address enteric methane. We’re looking for a rigorous thinker and doer who likes to dive into the details of science research, understand the realities of the livestock farmers and the commercial interests of the industry.

The Enteric Methane Analyst will leverage strong research skills, a deep curiosity for understanding how all parts of an industry/system influence each other, and technical and/or policy knowledge to advance Spark’s work through research, project management, and relationship building. This role is a unique chance to work as a member of an interdisciplinary team focused on climate impact at a meaningful scale. You will help shape a new, high-impact solution space working across policy, research, and development.
