Carbon Tracker Initiative is a non-profit think tank with offices near London Bridge. Our objective is to campaign for, promote and achieve an understanding of the financial and environmental risks associated with carbon. Our goal is a climate-secure global energy market, where capital markets are aligned with the reality of climate change. The production and dissemination of our research seeks to rebalance the perceived exposure of the energy sector to climate-related financial risk, examining the implications of the wind-down of the fossil fuel sector in line with a transition to 2°C. We are currently a team of 25 people in the UK, and 3 in the USA. The organisation is in an interesting stage of development, transitioning from a very small operation to a more established and larger group. In order to support our continuing growth, we are looking for a Financial Controller to bolster our financial management capabilities.
