SR CAMPAIGN ANALYST AT INDUSTRIOUS LABS in Remote, New York at Axis Talent Partners

About Industrious Labs

Heavy industry is the foundation of modern society. We need materials like cement, steel, and aluminum more than ever to rebuild our bridges and roads, construct wind and solar projects, and manufacture the electric vehicles and heat pumps that will undergird our future. But industry needs a second revolution. For as much as industry made the middle class and ushered in a remarkable era of prosperity for many, it also threatens our climate, reinforces environmental racism, wastes valuable materials and energy, and leaves communities and workers behind.

At Industrious Labs, our mission is to set into motion unstoppable policies, people power, and analysis to make a triple impact on climate, justice, and jobs — drastically reduce dangerous emissions, and make industry accountable to communities and workers. Over our first five years, we have grown from a $1M to a ~$10M annual operating budget, across a 501(c)(3) organization and an aligned LLC, with 25 U.S.-based staff and a growing international portfolio.

We are led by a team of four partners rather than a single executive director — a structure that reflects our commitment to distributed leadership and democratic decision-making. We are deliberately collaborative, equity-centered, and mission-driven. Everyone at Industrious Labs genuinely believes in this work, and that shared conviction is one of our greatest strengths.

Position Summary

Industrious Labs is at an inflection point. Clean energy procurement at industrial scale is emerging as the critical pathway to decarbonize aluminum, cement, steel, and the heavy manufacturing sector writ large. Building the analytical foundation for this work — and translating it into actionable campaign strategy — is one of the organization's most pressing priorities.

The Senior Campaign Analyst will sit within our Analytics team, reporting initially to Victoria Chu, Partner and Director of Analytics, and will work in close partnership with Annie Sartor, Senior Campaigns Director overseeing aluminum, cement, and steel. This is an analytically rigorous and externally-facing role at the intersection of power systems expertise, data production, and advocacy.

In the first six months, the analyst will own the technical development and launch of the U.S. Cement Mapping Tool — a first-of-its-kind, publicly accessible resource that maps U.S. cement facilities, their environmental and community impacts, and pathways for decarbonization. The tool is grant-funded with a target launch of March 2027 with a key audience of policymakers, advocates, and industry itself. From there, the role will expand into the organization's emerging clean electricity work, building the analytical capacity to support state-level campaigns on industrial clean energy access across multiple sectors.

This is not a pure research or think tank role. We are looking for a practitioner who brings technical depth and the instinct to move work forward — someone who is as comfortable presenting findings to a policymaker or responding to a reporter as they are cleaning a dataset or modeling a utility rate structure. The ideal candidate brings power sector fluency, a bias toward action, and a genuine commitment to climate justice.

Essential Leadership Responsibilities

Power sector and energy systems expertise

• Apply utility sector fluency to the U.S. Cement Tool by mapping facility-level relationships with electricity providers, identifying clean energy access constraints, and surfacing decarbonization pathways across key regions

• Serve as the analytical engine for the organization's emerging clean electricity work, building the evidence base that will inform where and how Industrious Labs engages on industrial-scale clean energy procurement across aluminum, cement, and other sectors

• Weigh in on state-level PUC proceedings, provide technical testimony, engage in IRP processes, and rate-making dockets — providing the technical grounding for campaign staff to engage regulators and policy venues with precision and credibility

• In close collaboration with the Senior Campaigns Director, assess the competitive landscape for industrial clean energy access at the state level, identifying priority markets and strategic entry points for new campaign work

Quantitative analysis and technical production

• Manage the full technical lifecycle of the U.S. Cement Mapping Tool, from consolidating and cleaning multi-source datasets (USGS, Global Cement Directory, Climate Trace, EIA) through to a production-ready, publicly accessible interactive web tool launching by March 2027 alongside a team of visualization experts

• Conduct rigorous spatial and quantitative analysis to co-locate cement facilities with clean energy infrastructure, alternative fuel sources, CCS potential, and relevant policy environments, producing the layered insight that makes the tool strategically useful, not just descriptive

• Develop deep-dive regional analyses (4–5 priority regions) that synthesize facility-level data into actionable roadmaps, assessing transition opportunities and identifying specific policy, investment, and regulatory levers

• Build and maintain the analytical infrastructure that future campaigns will rely on, establishing data pipelines and modeling frameworks that can be extended to clean electricity, steel, and other industrial campaigns over time

Translating analysis for advocacy and public audiences

• Synthesize and communicate the cement tool's findings through clear narratives tailored to producers, policymakers, and advocates, serving as the primary subject-matter voice at launch through webinars, policymaker briefings, partner engagements, and media inquiries.

• Work with the Communications teams to develop supporting materials, fact sheets, explainers, and earned media assets — that extend the tool's reach and make its findings accessible to audiences who will never engage with the underlying data directly

• Translate technical power sector and decarbonization analysis into campaign-ready recommendations, identifying the decision points and policy leverage points that campaign staff can act on

• Support early education and distribution work tied to the grant, including potential briefings with state-level policymakers — for example, informing California's 2027 climate scoping plan — where the cement tool's findings are most immediately actionable

Adaptability and bias toward action

• Deliver the cement tool on a defined grant timeline, making real-time judgments about scope, data sufficiency, and analytical trade-offs — rather than pursuing perfection at the expense of the launch

• Navigate the transition from a grant-defined first project to a less-defined second year, staying anchored and productive as the clean electricity work scope is shaped and fundraising evolves in real time

• Flex across campaigns and analytical needs as organizational priorities shift, operating as a generalist resource for the organization's most pressing capacity gaps

• Engage fully and constructively with Industrious Labs' collaborative, deliberative culture, including its process-heavy moments — treating these not as overhead but as core to how good work gets done

Essential Qualifications

Key Qualifications for the Role

• 5–8 years in power systems analysis, energy economics, utility planning, or energy policy, from a utility, renewable developer, state agency, NGO, or think tank focused on electricity

• Demonstrated understanding of electricity markets, grid operations, and decarbonization pathways at the state or regional level, including familiarity with IRP processes, PUC proceedings, rate-making, RTOs, and FERC

• Strong quantitative skills with experience handling large, multi-source datasets; proficiency in Python, R, SQL, or similar

• Experience with data visualization platforms (Tableau, Power BI, GIS, e.g.) and the skill to integrate spatial, environmental, and policy datasets into a coherent, usable tool

• Demonstrated track record of taking analysis through to production, delivering finished, public-facing outputs on time

• Exceptional written and oral communication skills with a proven proficiency translating complex technical analysis into clear, compelling narratives for non-expert stakeholders

• Experience presenting analysis externally, through webinars, policymaker briefings, media engagement, or public comment processes — or clear aptitude and openness to doing so

• Skill to move from analysis to campaign-ready recommendations, identifying strategic decision points in close collaboration with campaign staff

• Demonstrated competency flexing across multiple projects simultaneously and move work forward under conditions of incomplete information or evolving scope
