About UsHeavy industry is the foundation of modern society. We need materials like cement, steel, and aluminum more than ever to rebuild our bridges and roads, construct wind and solar projects, and manufacture electric vehicles and heat pumps that will undergird our future. But industry needs a second revolution. For as much as industry made the middle class and ushered in a remarkable era of prosperity for many, it also threatens our climate, reinforces environmental racism, wastes valuable materials and energy, and leaves communities and workers behind. At Industrious Labs, our mission is to set into motion unstoppable policies, people power, and analysis to make a triple impact on climate, justice, and jobs that drastically reduce dangerous emissions, and make industry accountable to communities and workers. About the PositionPolicymakers today at the federal and state levels are putting into place a policy agenda that will make renewable energy more expensive and harder to build, threatening progress on industrial decarbonization and the clean energy transition. This pushback against clean energy development – despite clean energy being the fastest to deploy at scale and with competitive prices – coincides with increasing electricity rates, in part driven by data centers demanding electricity at nearly any price. As a result, advocates have a critical opportunity: large electricity buyers are aghast at rapidly inflating electricity prices, and they are well positioned to carry the message to statehouses and Public Utility Commissions that now is the time to accelerate development of renewable energy. We seek a highly organized, motivated Senior Campaign Strategist to join our team.

<h3 class="font-head text-24 leading-none md:text-28">A reimagined industrial sector that works for communities, workers, and the climate is within reach. It requires more than just cleaner methods of making steel or cement, but a transformation of our politics. There&rsquo;s so much opportunity, and the benefits are so great, but big change can be hard to imagine when the problem has vexed us for decades.</h3>
<div class="pt-text md:text-16 lg:max-w-sm mt-5">
Industrial transformation is possible, but it won&rsquo;t happen on its own. We need better stories that plant the seeds of inspiration. From a foundation of shared data and analysis, we need more people with a range of expertise applying targeted pressure through focused campaigns to demand change.
