Context:  The Center for Green Market Activation™ (GMA) is a US-based, globally-focused nonprofit that was launched in Spring of 2024. Through innovative book-and-claim systems, new and creative procurement approaches, and demand aggregating buyers’ alliances, GMA catalyzes and scales the uptake of low- and zero-carbon goods and services in the hardest-to-abate sectors. GMA’s organizational design combines shared expertise and infrastructure with sector-specific programs. By consolidating a range of value chain mitigation initiatives under a single non-profit umbrella, we will help companies ramp up their Scope 3 mitigation quickly, starting in one sector and easily moving into another.   GMA seeks employees committed to addressing the climate crisis, who are highly entrepreneurial, with strong people skills, and an ability to learn new, technical subject matter and speak to it with authority. Our motto is “Getting more done, together” so we only seek employees who love working collaboratively and are focused on implementation over perfection.   We are now launching a dynamic internship program and seeking both spring and summer interns, providing hands-on experience in advancing low- and zero-carbon solutions in hard-to-abate sectors. Interns will collaborate with a highly innovative team to support both sector-specific and operational programs and contribute to first-of-kind solutions to climate change.

TRUCKING PROGRAM INTERN 

In 2023 GMA launched GMA Trucking, a buyers’ alliance under the GMA umbrella. GMA Trucking aims to accelerate the path to a decarbonized trucking sector by driving investment in and adoption of zero emission (ZE) heavy duty vehicles (HDVs). GMA Trucking pools demand and funding from its members (climate leading companies that have set ambitious sustainability targets), and works with trucking carriers, Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), and charging/fueling infrastructure providers to develop projects that get battery electric vehicle (BEV) and fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV) trucks on the road. The GMA Trucking intern will play a key role in the development of the initiative, and will have the opportunity to work with key stakeholders across the trucking decarbonization ecosystem.    Key Responsibilities:  Technical and Professional Communications   Stakeholder and Project Management   Analysis and Technical Assessment   Content Development   Skills and Qualifications:  Required:   One or more of the following preferred:     

CEMENT AND CONCRETE PROGRAM INTERN 

GMA’s cement and concrete initiative is a partnership with RMI to help companies decarbonize their emissions associated with cement and concrete.  The initiative is comprised of a two-pronged approach: designing a standardized book-and-claim system and operationalizing it through demand aggregation and collective procurement. The book-and-claim system will enable companies to address value chain emissions by purchasing environmental attribute certificates (EACs) from low-carbon producers, helping cover the green premium for sustainable products and support the growth of low-carbon product markets. GMA and RMI will further operationalize the system by creating a cement and concrete buyers alliance, pooling demand to secure better deals, strengthen market signals, and ensure environmental integrity.    Key Responsibilities:   Research and Analysis   Technical and Professional Communications   Stakeholder and Project Management   Skills and Qualifications:  Required:   One or more of the following preferred:

GMA Chemicals is our latest sectoral initiative, dedicated to establishing credible and effective decarbonization strategies for the diverse and complex chemicals industry. At this early stage, the initiative is focused on establishing a fact base through primary and secondary research and engaging with technical experts and prospective buyer groups through working groups. Our goal is to align on key design principles for creating a robust chain of custody system tailored to these two commodities. Through the development of high-integrity, market-based solutions, we aim to address gaps in market dynamics and accelerate the adoption of low-carbon, sustainable technologies for synthetic fertilizers and plastics.  Key Responsibilities:    Research and Analysis   Technical and Professional Communications   Stakeholder and Project Management   Skills and Qualifications:  Required:   One or more of the following preferred:

The AIM Platform works with other standard setters such as GHG Protocol and the Science-Based Targets Initiative, among others.    Key Responsibilities    Standards Technical Content Development   Technical and Professional Communications   Stakeholder and Project Management   Skills and Qualifications   Required:   One or more of the following preferred:
