About the role
Decision-makers evaluating SAI need a concrete, internally consistent account of what hypothetical early deployment would involve. Existing research addresses many individual components, but important questions remain about how they fit together. Reflective is developing a reference scenario that examines one or two specified cases, from precursor supply chains and aircraft to observing systems, data assimilation, and feedback control.

What they're looking for
- You decompose ambiguous problem spaces into explicit milestones and dependencies, and you have the discipline to cut scope to protect a ship date
- You work well through influence rather than authority — extracting quality work from contributors you don't manage, in academia, industry, and government
- You communicate precisely with non-specialist audiences and can represent technical work to policymakers and critics without overstating it
- You are comfortable with public scrutiny of your work, including from critics of this field, and see rigorous external critique as the point rather than a threat

Reflective is a global, non-profit research organization aiming to radically accelerate the pace of sunlight reflection research. We equip the world with the data and tools needed to make informed decisions about sunlight reflection, fast enough to matter.
Decision-makers evaluating SAI need a concrete, internally consistent account of what hypothetical early deployment would involve. Existing research addresses many individual components, but important questions remain about how they fit together. Reflective is developing a reference scenario that examines one or two specified cases, from precursor supply chains and aircraft to observing systems, data assimilation, and feedback control. The resulting public document set will make assumptions, uncertainties, and practical constraints explicit so experts and governments can scrutinize and challenge them. Its purpose is to support assessment of SAI’s feasibility, costs, and consequences without presuming that deployment should occur.
The Reference Scenario Lead owns this. You are accountable for the reference scenario existing, being internally consistent, shipping on a date, and landing with the audiences who need it. This is a...
