IATA's Sustainability and Economics division collaborates with airlines, regulators, and civil society to develop policies, standards, and solutions supporting the sustainable development of air transport and environmental mitigation. You will join the Net Zero Transition team, responsible for advocating climate change solutions in aviation and ensuring airlines have the right options for their transition plans. A key focus is supporting the expansion of sustainable aviation fuels (SAF), leveraging diverse feedstocks without compromising other decarbonization priorities, through a holistic approach involving the supply chain, technology providers, governments, and financial institutions.
What your day would be like
You will report to the Head of Net Zero Transition Programs. Your typical day may include technical research, project management, stakeholder relations, and advocacy activities such as:
* Collecting, maintaining, and analyzing data on SAF developments worldwide.
* Supporting research and the development of a SAF database through in-depth technology analysis.
* Assisting in campaigns to accelerate SAF deployment.
* Developing guidance materials for stakeholders.

* Coordinating industry communication calls or events.
* Creating presentation and workshop materials for internal and external audiences.
