The Center supports Innovation Networks, focused working groups of stakeholders with the objective of making significant, industry-wide system change. Current networks focus on clean electronics, regenerative agriculture, and food system nutrient density.

Role Description

CEPN will be undertaking the second phase of a project to create and deploy chemical safety trainings to suppliers in the electronics supply chain. This project includes the following objectives:

• Disseminate best practices in process chemical management to upstream suppliers 
• Reduce worker exposures to hazardous chemicals in the electronics industry  
• Strengthen worker safety and engagement 
• Capacity development for local service providers to deliver impactful and cost-effective training and advisory service 

Working closely with the CEPN Senior Director and with support from the CEPN Program Manager, the Senior Fellow will lead the management and growth of Phase 2 of this grant-funded project by providing technical expertise and project management.

1. Capacity Development for Local Service Providers: Train local service providers in Vietnam and Malaysia to deliver chemical safety training (this will be done remotely)
2. Beta Testing: Deploy the worker and manager training modules in three modalities (in person training, webinars and digital interactive training) to selected suppliers facilities; and collect feedback
3. Improve Training: Work with our training developer to refine and improve the training based on feedback from the beta testing 

In addition to managing this project, the Senior Fellow may provide occasional support to the Senior Director in crafting strategic direction for CEPN and other ongoing initiatives including network management and strategic planning.  

CEPN staff members work virtually; the position may be housed in Washington, DC at the Green America offices, but may also be filled remotely.

1. Manage and oversee implementation of Phase 2 of this project.

6. Oversee training developer contractor logistics and materials revision.

7. Participate in strategic planning and stakeholder conversations for CEPN (both internal and external).  
8. Support long-term mission and strategy of the network.

For this position, we are seeking the following skills and key competencies:
