Company info

  • Heavy industry is the foundation of modern society. We need materials like cement, steel, and aluminum more than ever to rebuild our bridges and roads, construct wind and solar projects, and manufacture electric vehicles and heat pumps that will undergird our future. But industry needs a second revolution. For as much as industry made the middle class and ushered in a remarkable era of prosperity for many, it also threatens our climate, reinforces environmental racism, wastes valuable materials and energy, and leaves communities and workers behind.
  • At Industrious Labs, our mission is to set into motion unstoppable policies, people power, and analysis to make a triple impact on climate, justice, and jobs that drastically reduce dangerous emissions, and make industry accountable to communities and workers.
  • About the Position
  • California is on the front lines of the industrial transformation. From the food we grow to the consumer goods we manufacture, the decisions made in California's legislative and regulatory arenas shape outcomes for communities, workers, and the climate and set the tone for the nation.
  • Industrious Labs is seeking a strategic, entrepreneurial Deputy Director to help lead campaigns to transform California's manufacturing base in support of union jobs, justice, and climate.
  • A major and early priority for this role will be our green fertilizer campaign.
  • California provides over one-fourth of the nation's food supply, and every season, farmers rely on hundreds of thousands of tons of ammonia fertilizers imported from overseas, produced using dirty fossil fuels.
  • Reliance on dirty imports makes California food production vulnerable to volatile prices, hinders economic development and family-sustaining jobs, and unnecessarily contributes to global climate change and hazardous air emissions.
  • We're working to onshore a distributed, green fertilizer industry in California - one powered by clean electricity, supporting good jobs and local economic development, and giving farmers a reliable, local supply while reducing overapplication.
  • Heavy industry is the foundation of modern society.
  • But industry needs a second revolution.
  • For as much as industry made the middle class and ushered in a remarkable era of prosperity for many, it also threatens our climate, reinforces environmental racism, wastes valuable materials and energy, and leaves communities and workers behind.
  • California is on the front lines of the industrial transformation.
  • Industrious Labs is fully remote, and you'll report to California Director Teresa Cheng.
  • This public-facing role best suits someone based in California with deep knowledge of the local landscape and strong existing relationships.
