About the Global Gas & Oil Network 

The Global Gas and Oil Network (GGON) is an international non-profit network of civil society organisations established to support global efforts to stop fossil fuel expansion and catalyse a just and equitable global phaseout of production in line with the internationally agreed climate target to keep global warming below 1.5°C. This must be achieved through a just transition, at an equitable pace for all countries, in a way that centres the needs of people, communities and biodiversity. Since its creation in 2017, the network has steadily grown to over 300 organisations across more than 60 countries on six continents. 

GGON provides movement infrastructure for this diverse group of members and partners through a variety of approaches, including convening critical conversations and strategy discussions, commissioning research and analysis, and providing communications tools and training. Where we are invited to, we provide coordination support to a number of national and regional coalitions and directly coordinate issue-specific thematic global working groups, one of which is focused on National Oil Companies (NOCs). GGON operates with a lean secretariat, which is a fully virtual team based in several continents across multiple time zones. 

Position: National Oil Companies Coordinator, GGON

Location: Virtual/ Remote. We are open to candidates from all over the world but actively encourage people from the Global South and the Middle East. The successful candidate must be able to work across multiple time zones, particularly Latin America, Europe, Africa and South East Asia. Some international travel may be required. 

Time commitment: Part-time (4 days per week), 18 month contract (with the potential to renew). 

Compensation: $40,000 to $50,000 annually (for 4 days a week) depending on experience and weighted to location. Our compensation range is competitive and reflective of the cost of living in different regions. It is determined based on the candidate's location, experience, and qualifications. GGON is committed to equity in compensation.

Reports to: GGON Program Manager

Position Summary 

The NOC Coordinator will be a facilitative leader, passionate about promoting social justice and a fair and equitable transition away from fossil fuels through a collaborative network approach. NOCs—in which the government is the sole or the dominant shareholder—produce half of the world’s oil and gas, and invest 40 percent of the capital in the global oil and gas industry. They are also important for millions of citizens in the Global South where many NOCs operate. It is therefore critical for climate as well as socio-economic and development reasons that NOCs are transformed as part of the energy transition needed to limit temperatures to below 1.5C. Effective global coordination and advocacy around NOCs is a strategic priority for GGON. 

The role will be based in the virtual GGON secretariat and work closely with the other secretariat team members to coordinate and support GGON partners, and will be responsible for coordinating the NOC work for the GGON secretariat. The successful candidate will believe in the power of networks to create change and enjoy working with a wide range of stakeholders (primarily NGOs, movements, think tanks, experts and academics). The NOC Coordinator will report to the Program Manager, and be accountable to the wider network, for example, through the NOC Working Group.

• Provide a strategic link among organisations in the GGON NOC Working Group and other members of the wider GGON network on cross-cutting issues; and help identify how the wider GGON network can support or add value to NOC work (and vice versa)
• Develop, and/or provide support for developing materials and resources that are strategically useful for members of the working group or wider community, support relationship building and liaising with external contacts, for example to draft op-eds or facilitate meetings with members of government
