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.   The GMA internship program offers motivated graduate students and recent graduates the chance to gain hands-on experience in climate solutions while working alongside a dynamic and innovative team (non-traditional applicants are accepted for non-programmatic roles). Interns play a meaningful role in advancing projects that shape the future of decarbonization.  Descriptions for all internship opportunities are as follows - please scroll to view.
