WHO We Are:
Self-Help started in 1980 with a focus on economic inequality especially in communities that have faced systemic barriers in building wealth. At the core of what Self-Help does is a drive to create and protect ownership and economic opportunity.
Since our founding, we’ve constantly sought new ways to pursue greater economic justice: from providing fair and affordable loans, working with partners to demand that lawmakers change unjust policies, and ensuring an equitable clean energy future.
The Climate Capital team’s charge is to deliver clean energy products, technology, and services to underserved communities as a part of Self-Help’s membership in Climate United. Climate United is a partnership of three national non-profits – Calvert Impact, The Community Preservation Corporation (CPC), and Self-Help—that are complementary in their expertise and like-minded about the imperative to make sure that all Americans, particularly those bearing the greatest burden from the climate crisis, participate in and benefit from the movement to reduce carbon emissions.
We are seeking a Sector Leader, Building Decarbonization to join our Climate Capital team in LA or Oakland, CA!
Role Overview:
The Sector Leader, Building Decarbonization will manage initiatives to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from residential and commercial buildings. This position requires developing and implementing financing programs for energy efficiency upgrades, weatherization programs, green mortgages, electrification projects, and renewable energy installations. The leader will work closely with partners to ensure that these projects are accessible to low-income and disadvantaged communities, fostering environmental justice while promoting economic benefits like lower energy costs and job creation. The program is expected to decarbonize tens of thousands of homes and buildings, leading to significant reductions in greenhouse gas emissions and improving energy efficiency across the nation.
