China Representative

The U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) is a highly respected non-governmental, non-profit organization from the United States.  We are the leading green building council worldwide.  We are active in a number of different areas, but are best known for our work in the development of the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) green building rating system, which is currently used in over 114 countries worldwide. The USGBC is a mission drive organization comprised of over 16,000 corporate members worldwide.  We are looking to provide on-the-ground support to our existing community in China, through the recruitment of a full-time China Representative. 

This person will be an individual with strong international personal and communication skills, who will serve as the primary point of contact for existing members of our community in China, provide customer service and information to the public, support Head Office in finding vendors / partners and implement the China work plan.  They will also be responsible for promoting our products and services in China through the provision of information, collecting market data and supporting communications around our activities.

This role is intended to serve as the primary on-the-ground link between our organization and our key stakeholders (multi-national and domestic corporations, as well as professionals in the building sector) in China.  The individual chosen is expected to be able to take direction and work with little supervision, while also being part of a virtual team.

This position will be stationed in Shanghai, China.  As the USGBC does not have plans to establish a formal office in China at this time, the successful candidate will be legally hired through a 3^rd party service company in China.  They will report directly to our organization and their work, professional development, performance reviews and salary will all be at the discretion of the USGBC.   The targeted start date for this position is February/March, 2012.
