Our Culture

At RMI, we are creative, passionate people who are curious life-long learners. We seek a diverse team as we need the widest range of perspectives to understand the systems we are trying to change.

Passion

Our mission of transforming the global energy system to secure a clean, prosperous, zero-carbon future for all is no easy task. The work is demanding but also rewarding when you feel that you are making a difference in the world. This takes passion for what we do and what we believe. The kind of passion that energizes you to work toward solutions with enthusiasm. The kind of passion that helps you relentlessly push through successes and failures. And the kind of passion that will drive you to do your best to create a better world for everyone on the planet.

Curiosity

Do you keep asking “why” until you get to the deep root of the matter? Are you able to look at problems forward, backward, upside down, and inside out? Can you thrive in unfamiliar territory to achieve groundbreaking insights? Our work is always diverse and complex and crosses over many different fields. Being curious, audacious, and fearless has given us a long track record of solving big problems that nobody has ever solved before. If this sounds exhilarating to you, join us!

Creativity

Being a creative thinker and doer is important in our work. We don’t look at just solving problems but also ways to avoid them. And after we solve problems, we look for creative ways to scale those solutions, to make an even greater impact. Can you imagine how to tell your story through charts, images, or graphics? Can you blend disparate facts and meld ideas from seemingly unrelated fields into a shattering insight? If so, let’s talk.

Learning Agility

Do you consider yourself a life-long learner? Are you motivated by personal and professional growth regardless of your work experience? If so, then you’ll feel right at home here. You will work and collaborate with some of the brightest thought leaders focused on energy transformation. This requires an appetite for continual learning and development to help you reach your full potential. The complexity and scope of our work will give you more opportunities to lead and grow in pursuit of our shared mission.
