How to Apply for Network Manager

at New Energy Nexus

🏢 About New Energy Nexus

New Energy Nexus is a unique global clean energy accelerator that empowers entrepreneurs across 100+ countries to build a sustainable, equitable future. Unlike traditional energy companies, they focus on ecosystem building through a network of chapters and partners, making them a mission-driven organization where your work directly supports climate solutions worldwide. Working here means contributing to tangible impact in the clean energy transition while collaborating with diverse global teams.

About This Role

As Network Manager at New Energy Nexus, you'll be the central architect of collaboration systems across their global chapters, designing tools and processes that enable clean energy entrepreneurs to share knowledge and resources effectively. This role is impactful because you'll directly enhance the network's ability to scale solutions by ensuring seamless coordination, member engagement, and knowledge management across geographies.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might start with reviewing engagement metrics on network platforms, followed by facilitating a virtual working group between chapters in Asia and Europe to align on a shared tool update. You'd spend afternoons documenting processes for a new knowledge management system, then proactively connecting a partner in Africa with relevant expertise from another chapter to address a collaboration challenge.
