About the Role

ARIA's Forecasting Tipping Points programme aims to create a sustained, public-good early warning system for climate tipping points. As Resilient Climate Translation Lead, your primary responsibility will be to lead this translation effort for Forecasting Tipping Points, acting as the Programme Directors’ principal translation delivery partner.

Responsibilities

Build a usable early warning capability
Act as ARIA’s point of contact for systems integration, aligning observing, modelling and product teams around clear interfaces, dependencies and assurance.
Co-specify the early warning system MVP with the Programme Directors and define future portfolio pathways that maximise near-term translation opportunities, with clear outcomes, resources and evidence.
Lead delivery against translation milestones, including relationships with programme Fellows and system partners.
Use evidence to recommend when ARIA should progress, reshape, redirect or stop work to keep the portfolio moving.
Form an enduring model
Define the observations, calibrated open data, provenance, methods, assessment, assurance and communication that must endure beyond the programme’s timeframe and protect the public good mission.
Test options for governance, assurance, operations and finance against scientific independence, international legitimacy, public access, operational resilience and Greenlandic data sovereignty.
Generate and convert interest from governments, philanthropic co-funders, multilateral bodies, and scientific and operational institutions into clear roles, committed resources and sustained support.
Create translation routes across ARIA’s climate programmes
Work backwards from real decisions with users, buyers, operators and affected communities, translating their needs into product and technical requirements, testing those requirements through pilots, scenarios and workflow tests, and using the evidence to steer observing, modelling and product choices.
Secure partnerships for validation, operating environments, co-development, procurement or co-funding, that open near-term routes to use across ARIA’s other climate programmes, including Exploring Climate Cooling.
Sharpen value propositions, routes to adoption and continuity plans, then connect Creator teams with the partners, capabilities and follow-on resources they need to give them a credible next step.

Requirements

Expert in building momentum around an issue and can translate technical climate data into actionable information.
Have turned technically complex R&D in the climate space into an integrated service, product, or operational capability.
Can align scientists, engineers and systems integrators to deliver a usable product.
Can use discovery, pilots, scenarios and workflow tests with users, operators and affected communities to shape product and technical choices.
Can build relationships across government, philanthropy, science, industry and public bodies that lead to agreed roles, resources, adoption or co-funding.
Experience in building or operating an enduring institution or public-interest service.
Experience working in or with governments, or navigating complex geopolitical issues.
Experience in climate or Earth-system science, Earth observation, forecasting, climate services or environmental data infrastructure.
Experience of public or philanthropic finance, multilateral collaboration or sustaining public-interest infrastructure beyond its original funding period.
Experience with open data, scientific assurance, data provenance, data sovereignty or community-led research.
