What You'll Do

The Industrial Innovation Program is leading efforts to accelerate deep decarbonisation of the industrial sector by aligning technology innovation, policy advocacy, and market development to deliver durable, scalable emissions reductions.

• Identify risks and solve problems early by spotting gaps and helping teams take practical action to stay on track
• Ensure continuity and ownership by supporting program operations, including grant coordination and a well-structured end-of-contract handover
