Job Description

This is a hybrid position which requires 8 days per month in the office. You can be based in our office in Nairobi. Existing work authorization is required at the time of application submission as WRI is unable to sponsor any visa work sponsorship for this position.

About the program:

African cities are at a turning point: the urban population will reach 1.5 billion by 2050, yet infrastructure and services already fall short, especially in informal settlements. Over half of sub-Saharan city residents face unsafe air pollution, while floods, heatwaves, and droughts intensify climate risks. With three-quarters of 2050 infrastructure yet to be built, there is a unique opportunity to shape cities that are low-carbon, inclusive, and resilient. Our goal is to transition Africa's urban systems to provide better quality of life and health through equitable access to jobs and services — especially for the underserved — while achieving climate neutrality by 2050. In Kenya, the Small Vehicles E-Mobility project demonstrates this vision by advancing electric two- and three-wheelers, reducing emissions, cutting fuel costs, improving air quality, and creating green jobs through local assembly and manufacturing. WRI drives this transformation by equipping city leaders, investors, and partners with the knowledge and tools to deliver healthier, more sustainable cities for all.

Job Highlight:

  • Advocate for policies that address market barriers, such as high upfront costs and limited access to financing for electric vehicle purchases
