The Climate Alliance European Secretariat is looking for a Project Manager for an inclusive mobility project (m/f/d)

Climate Alliance

For over 30 years, Climate Alliance member municipalities have been acting in partnership with indigenous rainforest peoples for the benefit of the global climate. With nearly 2,000 members spread across more than 25 European countries, Climate Alliance is Europe's largest city network dedicated to comprehensive and equitable climate action.
Climate Alliance is partner of one project funded in the frame of an EU programme that focuses on developing streets and public spaces that are shaped by active mobility, sustainable, and inclusive for all citizens. The goal of the project is to support cities in revolutionizing public spaces and streets by putting all of its citizens first. The project addresses the pressing need to transform our streets both from an infrastructural as well as behavioural perspective, shifting away from car-centric environments towards streets that cater to the needs of all citizens. The interventions supported within the project improve accessibility, safety, security, and sustainability, while actively empowering citizens to change their mobility behaviours to a more active one.

For this project Climate Alliance is looking for applicants to join their team at its headquarters in Frankfurt-am-Main or at its Berlin office as Project Manager for an inclusive mobility project.
