To enable close collaboration with the team, we're looking for candidates located in time zones that overlap with the UK workday (GMT/BST). Reporting to: CEO Manages: Breathe Cities Leadership Annual salary: Competitive Contract type: Permanent Working hours: This is a full-time role that will require international travel. Candidate level: Director Background Clean Air Fund is a global philanthropic organisation that brings together governments, campaigners, researchers, funders, and businesses to create a world where everyone breathes clean air. We all need clean air to live, grow and thrive. Yet 9 out of 10 people breathe harmful, dirty air, making air pollution one of our biggest health threats. Globally, over 7 million people die every year because of air pollution - more than twice as many as from malaria, tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS combined. The poorest communities, living in the most congested areas, are hit the hardest. Babies, children and older people suffer most. In addition to harming our health, air pollution is linked to climate change. It doesn't have to be this way. Cleaning our air can be a solution to some of society's greatest challenges, from public health to climate change to children's development and sustainable economic growth. How we work From grassroots to government, Clean Air Fund supports partners to accelerate action on clean air. We do this by: Funding and partnering with organisations across the globe that promote air quality data, build public demand for clean are and drive action. Influencing and supporting decision-makers to act on clean air and to strengthen the air quality cause. Working with communities that are disproportionately affected by air pollution. Find out about our 'Clean Air For All' strategy here . Learn more about where we work here . Breathe Cities Cities generate huge carbon emissions and expose millions to deadly air pollution. Cities will house two-thirds of the world's population by 2050, and their heavy emissions make them where the fight against climate breakdown will be won or lost. But through action on air pollution, cities can lead on climate solutions, radically and equitably improve global health and help save millions of lives. To capture this opportunity, Clean Air Fund, together with our partner C40 Cities, and supported by a generous $30m donation from Bloomberg Philanthropies , is delivering Breathe Cities, an ambitious programme to halve health- and climate-harming emissions in some of the world's most polluted cities. We have teams and partners on the ground in 14 major cities worldwide - from Johannesburg to Sofia, from Bogota to Jakarta - and are supporting mayors to implement ground-breaking policies whilst developing the tools and the learnings to be able to deploy this at scale. We are at the point of scaling the initiative. We will add cities to the cohort, and we will develop products and tools to enable cities around the world to follow in the footsteps of these pioneering global cities to measure air pollution more granularly, to understand the local health and economic impacts, and to adopt policies that bring clean air to all citizens, especially the most vulnerable. Description The Executive Director is responsible for the successful implementation, impact and growth of the Breathe Cities initiative.

The role sits on the senior leadership team (SLT) of the Clean Air Fund. As a member of the SLT, the Breathe Cities Executive Director will take collective ownership with peers and the CEO for leading the organisation: significantly contributing to the organisation's strategic direction, improving operational processes, and developing and maintaining a healthy organisational culture. Primary responsibilities Strategy and insights (30%) Implement a clear strategy to deliver the Breathe Cities theory of change through the three pillars of enhanced data, citizen engagement and ambitious city policies, ensuring the programme is cohesive while adapting to local realities.

Diplomatically balance the interests of different stakeholders while ensuring the right decisions are taken to ensure the Breathe Cities vision can be realized. Ensure Breathe Cities is well known, leveraging the project's communications capability, networks and partner platforms to showcase policy advances and other progress.
