Kim Lundgren Associates, Inc. (KLA) is seeking an experienced, self-driven senior manager of climate analysis to lead the KLA Climate Analysis Team and all technical assessments of local government and community greenhouse gas emissions, climate vulnerabilities, and impact potential of climate actions.

The right candidate for this position brings to KLA 7-10 years’ experience in the greenhouse gas accounting and analysis space, ideally with some experience working with local governments and at least 2 years’ experience with climate vulnerability and hazards assessments. This position will be responsible for the delivery of KLA’s best in class climate analysis work by leading the delivery of all technical analysis and managing staff, clients, and projects. The successful candidate can take the lead on scoping out climate analysis tasks and projects, applying best practices, collecting and analyzing data, and decision making for data selection and analysis approaches to meet project objectives. KLA is an all-remote team, so the ability to effectively communicate and collaborate with a team through virtual platforms is essential.

KLA is a woman-owned, benefit corporation that partners with local governments to build their capacity to design and implement aggressive, equitable solutions to climate change. We do this by delivering affordable tools and services to assess, plan, implement, evaluate, and communicate climate action and sustainability goals and programs.

With this sense of urgency, KLA is scaling up its ability to support local action to reduce contributions to and prepare for the impacts of climate change. KLA is seeking a diverse team of innovative and self-driven individuals who are passionate, committed, and enthusiastic about joining this fight. Given that our clients are cities, towns, and counties located across the country, travel is expected and there will be weekend or ‘after-hour’ activities, depending on your location and our clients’ needs. Please do not respond if you are not comfortable with this. This is a unique opportunity to learn and grow alongside a local climate action pioneer while helping us build a more sustainable future for all.
