RESOLVE’s Public-Private Partnership to Reuse, Refill and Replace Single-Use Packaging (PR3) is hiring a Program Associate, seeking highly-organized, motivated applicants passionate about plastic and packaging reduction and systems change.
PR3’s mission is to enable and accelerate the alignment and scaling of reuse systems around the world. Over three years, drawing on input from across the value chain, PR3 created system design standards meant to align returnable packaging –regardless of producer– with shared infrastructure for collection, washing, and transport. Standardized systems and infrastructure will help transform the current landscape of disconnected, small-scale, reuse programs and pilots into full-scale, interoperable public-private systems. Through this work, PR3 has become a hub for solutions in the global plastic reduction and reusable packaging systems space.
PR3 is now embedding these standards into emerging reuse systems around the world. We are also launching a multi-year, multi-stakeholder process to accredit PR3 standards through the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and International Organization on Standardisation (ISO).
The Program Associate will be an integral member of PR3’s team. The Program Associate will be responsible for day-to-day support tasks as directed by PR3’s Project Manager and Directors including, work planning, scheduling, grant tracking, and project research, among other tasks. One of their primary roles will be to support shepherding of PR3’s standards-setting process, which will involve coordinating multiple workgroups, careful document control, and regular public notices. RESOLVE staff are expected to learn, follow, and support RESOLVE’s administrative processes, including those for invoicing, contracting, budgeting, program reporting, and website maintenance.
