As a Field Office Director, you will run your own canvass office and work on campaigns with groups like Environment America and U.S. PIRG. You’ll recruit supporters, raise money and mobilize thousands of people to take action. Being a director requires that you work independently, exercise good judgment and work hard to meet the office’s staffing, campaign, and fieldwork goals. You’ll build the people power it takes to create positive change. You could work on issues like tackling climate change, stopping throw-away plastics from polluting our oceans, powering more of our cities and states with clean energy like wind and solar power, and more. We are hiring for immediate positions as well as positions beginning February 2021. At this time due to the pandemic, we are engaging the public and advancing these campaigns through virtual methods.

You should apply to work with us if you want to:

Throughout the year, new and experienced canvass directors will participate in advanced trainings on staff management, canvassing, campaign strategy, media and public speaking.

Locations 

We work on the campaigns and the issues that we think are the most pressing and set up our ground operations where we think we can make the biggest difference.

“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.” – Margaret Mead

At Community Action Works (formerly known as Toxics Action Center), we believe that environmental threats are big, but the power of well-organized community groups is bigger. That’s why we work side by side with everyday people to confront those who are polluting and harming the health of our communities. We partner with the people who are most impacted by environmental problems, especially Black, Indigenous, communities of color and poor communities, training them with the know-how anyone would need to make change in their own backyard. Because when neighbors know how to make change, they can build the power to transform our world.

To be the best organizers we can be, we’re diving deep into what it means to undo racism and classism through our work.

Key Responsibilities Include: 

• Community organizing workshops and leadership development: You will conduct community group workshops on core organizing skills and hold one-on-one coaching, relationship building, and leadership development sessions with community group leaders—with a focus on the most impacted communities. For now, we are holding our trainings and meetings over Zoom and conference calls.

• Campaign development and campaign strategy: You will identify the most profound local environmental threats in the area (either Connecticut or Massachusetts) and build relationships with key local leaders, particularly in Black, Indigenous and communities of color and poor communities. You’ll work with leaders to identify solutions to local environmental problems and research and develop creative strategies to win, including building coalitions.

• Communications and organizational visibility: You will work to increase the organization’s media presence and name recognition through events, news releases, campaign materials, and online organizing.

• Networking and movement-building event planning: You will help organize a 500-person grassroots conference and other movement-building events (if and when social distancing is no longer required). You will hold one-to-one meetings with key organizational partners.

• Fundraising: You will identify and cultivate donors, assist with grant-writing, and participate in other grassroots fundraising tactics including door-to-door canvassing, letter writing, and events.

• Organizational development: You will join in implementing our strategic three-year plan, which includes updating our training program and joining our staff-wide process to center racial and class equity.

Qualifications:

Candidates must have at least one year of related work experience, such as community organizing, campaign coordination, environmental advocacy, or coalition building. The ideal candidate has demonstrated experience organizing in multi-racial, multi-generational, and multi-class settings, has strategic thinking and effective facilitation skills, and is passionate about community organizing, movement building, and racial, economic and environmental justice. Organizers must exercise excellent judgment and discretion and have the ability to oversee significant projects. Candidates need to have a driver’s license and a car that they are willing and able to drive for work.

Location:

Community Organizers will be based in Boston, MA. For the foreseeable future, all of our staff are working remotely due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Salary and Benefits:

Salary for this position is commensurate with the candidate’s relevant experience and/or advanced degrees. We offer a competitive benefits package, opportunities for advancement, and training.

We are hiring for a Donor Associate to help build the resources to advance our environmental protections across the state of Oregon. Every day, Americans throw away tons of foam cups, containers, and other single-use plastics that ultimately end up in our rivers and oceans. Marine life, like sea turtles, are the ones who suffer, ingesting the plastic and ultimately starving to death. We need to stop the use of single-use plastics for the sake of our wildlife. Nothing we use for a few minutes should be allowed to pollute our lakes and rivers, and threaten wildlife for centuries.

Thousands of Environment Oregon members feel passionately about saving our wildlife from plastic pollution and other environmental issues, and Environment Oregon’s team of organizers, advocates and researchers is ready to make their voices heard. To win this and other campaigns, we need to add a great storyteller to our development staff to give our work an even greater impact.

SUMMARY:

As the Environment Oregon Donor Associate, you’ll be part of the in-state advocacy team as well as part of our national team of dedicated development professionals that deepen the financial and political support of Environment Oregon’s members.

The ideal candidate is passionate about protecting nature, believes in the power of building a community of supporters, and is a proven fundraiser who sees fundraising as a powerful way to advance change.

REPRESENTATIVE RESPONSIBILITIES INCLUDE: 

Direct Fundraising 

• Implement a monthly strategy of writing, calling and holding one-on-one meetings with current members and prospective donors to share stories of our campaign to put wildlife over waste and invite them to deepen their financial support.

• Meet specific weekly and monthly fundraising benchmarks, which are related to annual organizational fundraising goals so we can sustain and expand our campaigns, like the Wildlife Over Waste campaign.

• Develop and maintain relationships with donors from pledge to payment.

• Cultivate engaged donors to assist with fundraising events like house parties.

Donor Stewardship & Development 

• Be a personal point of contact with donors throughout the year, creating and sending at least six personalized updates.

• Engage donors in program and organizational work, such as events or campaign actions.

• Develop and implement customized cultivation strategies for top donors, working directly with our advocacy staff to craft compelling narratives.

• Be the point of contact between our advocacy staff and members.

• Maintain excellent notes on all contacts with and information about members and donors.

Administration

Environment Oregon protects the places we love, advances the environmental values we share, and wins real results for our environment. We have a long track record of working to protect our wildlife from plastic pollution.

Each of the 16+ groups in the Public Interest Network has its own mission, but the 400-plus staff in our network share a vision of a better country, a set of core values about our work, and a coordinated strategic approach to social change.

The good news? Carbon is much more than mere waste. We work at the intersection of science, business, and policy to champion solutions that transform carbon from a liability to an asset and foster a prosperous, carbon-conscious economy. Our team is based in Washington, DC.

THE OPPORTUNITY

Overview:

Carbon180 is seeking a Senior Policy Advisor, Agriculture to support our growing policy and legislative work on agriculture approaches to carbon removal in Washington, DC. While Carbon180 works on the full range of land and tech based carbon removal solutions, this position will focus on approaches to carbon storage in the agriculture sector (eg. soil carbon storage, agroforestry).

The person who takes this position should be passionate about the role the federal government can play in creating thriving agricultural communities that can both adapt to the increasing impacts of climate change and be a part of the solution. This position is responsible for executing the organization's federal policy strategy, researching existing policies and helping to produce new ones, managing outreach to target policy audiences, and supporting policy-related communications and events.

• Our SPA, Ag will serve on Carbon180’s policy team, and will report to the Deputy Director of Policy.

  • Help manage coalition-building and stakeholder outreach activities to galvanize support for sound policy on agriculture-based carbon removal

WHO YOU ARE

Our ideal Senior Policy Advisor believes deeply in our mission. Beyond that:

• You move fluidly from strategy to execution. You appreciate the big picture and feel inspired to set a bold vision, but you know it's all in the details. You manage projects fluidly, prioritize fiercely, and track timelines, data, and information in an organized and systematic fashion. You don't drop balls, miss deadlines, or forget to respond to someone's inquiry - and you’re not afraid to roll up your sleeves to do the work.
• You build trust and leverage meaningful relationships to get things done. A relationship-builder at heart, the people you work with trust that you leverage relationships to get things done in a mutually beneficial, non-transactional way. You are both warm AND demanding. You do the things you say you will do, hold others to account, and support the people you engage in the pursuit of our shared goals.
• You excel on a small, nimble team, and are happy wearing lots of hats. Working on a small, fast-paced, and quickly growing team feels not only familiar to you - you love it. You are flexible, comfortable with ambiguity, know how to roll with the punches, have a quick bounce-back time after a setback, and get energy from building the plane as you fly it.
• You’re a driver of results. You've demonstrated the ability to drive results in the pursuit of ambitious goals. You combine your exceptional strategic, analytical, and critical thinking skills with your penchant for data to drive decision-making to ultimately achieve impressive outcomes.
• You are sponge-y in your constant quest for knowledge. When the work feels ambiguous and the path forward unclear, you’re quick to dive into the research to soak up everything you can re: what’s already been done, what’s working, and what the science says. You’re able to distill complex information into a synthesized set of findings and recommendations, and get feedback from your team to make them stronger. You’re constantly looking to learn, grow, and expand your skills and expertise.

Beyond that, you will need:

• Proven track record (3+ years) working on federal policy, on or off the Hill
• Strong knowledge of climate and agriculture issues, including:
  • Technical knowledge related to the carbon cycle, natural ecosystems, and soil carbon storage
  • Policy knowledge on legislation and agency action related to agriculture and climate change
  • At a high level, industry knowledge related to how agriculture operations function across the US
• Familiarity with the state of the field, with a strong intuition for where policy will be most impactful in advancing equitable climate change solutions

COMPENSATION

• Carbon180 is deeply committed to providing competitive compensation and comprehensive benefits to our team.

Are you looking for a financially rewarding career that offers independance, adventure, and practical experience in field biology?  Do you want to play a critical role in the conservation and management of fisheries resources?  If so, then Alaskan Observers, Inc. (AOI) has a perfect job for you! 

As an at-sea biologist working aboard U.S.-flagged commercial fishing vessels, you will gather fishing effort and location information, sampling for bycatch composition, and collecting biological data from both bycatch and target species.

The valley is a vital area for riparian- and wetland-dependent birds in Colorado, such as sandhill cranes which migrate through each spring by the thousands.

The wetlands and riparian zones along the Rio Grande, Conejos River, and their many smaller tributaries are important to over 75% of the area’s wildlife species, including 13 state and federal threatened, endangered, and species of special concern, as well as over 160 species of birds.

Bird Conservancy of the Rockies is an equal opportunity employer committed to creating a diverse work environment. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, national origin, genetics, disability, age, or veteran status. 

Comprised of former EPA enforcement attorneys, public interest lawyers, analysts, investigators, and community organizers, EIP has three goals:

1. To illustrate through objective facts and figures how the failure to enforce or implement environmental laws increases pollution and harms public health;
2. To hold federal and state agencies, as well as individual corporations, accountable for failing to enforce or comply with environmental laws; and
3. To help local communities obtain the protections of environmental laws.

Position Overview

We are hiring a Senior Attorney (ideally 8+ years’ experience) to work on complex Clean Air Act and Resource Conservation and Recovery Act oil and gas-related legal issues both on the federal level and as part of our team working on state-level, facility-specific, and community-based issues in western Pennsylvania and the surrounding region.

Applicants must demonstrate strong writing, legal research, and negotiation skills, and should also possess pollution data research skills (or be willing to become proficient in working with various publicly-available pollution databases). This position involves filing federal deadline suits, unreasonable delay suits, developing and litigating citizen suits and state and federal permit appeals, some grant writing (proposals and reports), as well as interest in working with our Pittsburgh-based grass roots organizer and various coalitions. The selected senior attorney can expect to meet occasionally with community members, as well as local, state, and federal officials. 

The Environmental Integrity Project acts as a watchdog because we have to. State and federal agencies charged with protecting the environment often are squeezed by limited resources and political interference from well-funded lobbyists hired by the industries they are required to regulate. We help level the playing field by giving communities the legal and technical resources they need to claim their rights under environmental laws.

Low-income neighborhoods and communities of color often bear disproportionate health burdens from environmental pollution. The Environmental Integrity Project seeks to serve environmental justice communities by engaging directly with residents, making air and water pollution data more accessible, and reducing pollution through environmental permit reviews and advocacy work.

• We provide research, simulation, forecasting, resource assessment, market analysis, life cycle inventory, and technical writing and editing to a diverse range of government, academic, non-profit, and commercial clients.

Position Overview

The advertised position, "Scientific Computing, Python Optimization / Electric Vehicle Charging," will support a project called “Managed Electric Truck Charging Total Cost of Infrastructure and Grid Impacts” for a U.S.-based environmental non-profit client. The project entails estimating the economic benefits of managed (also known as “smart”) charging of electric trucks on a regional U.S. grid.

The project has three main tasks:

1. Quantitatively assess the total cost of charging infrastructure, including the addition of distributed energy resources (DERs = solar photovoltaic array plus battery).
2. Using a modeling framework developed by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (V2G-Sim), simulate unmanaged and optimized managed charging of electric truck fleets.
3. Estimate grid expansion savings due to managed charging and DERs.

We seek a competent Python coder for the second task, modifying and running the V2G-Sim model to achieve project goals. The candidate must also understand (or have an interest in learning about) electric trucks, managed charging operations and cost structures, distributed energy resources, and electric grid management and economics.

The ideal candidate is a graduate student or early-career professional with demonstrated Python coding ability, and experience working with electric vehicles (specifically, managed charging and/or trucks), electric grids, and energy economics. While the V2G-Sim code has recently been modified for another client with extensive documentation, it is complex. As a result, the candidate will need to quickly learn several key components of the model in order to effectively modify it to perform the required simulations, provide suitable outputs, and help the team prepare a final report.

Qualifications:

The successful candidate will speak and write excellent English, including the ability to clearly communicate and understand complex technical information, and be comfortable receiving constructive criticism. As you will be working closely with the CEO, a compatible personality is also important.

Timeframes:

If you are selected, work would begin on or before April 1, and would extend until August 31 (the end date is not flexible as it is fixed by the client). The bulk of the work would need to occur between April and July. While there is no required schedule of work hours, you must be available for regular weekly check-in meetings and occasional briefings with the client, as well as calls or written exchanges (text, email) at other times.

We estimate your role will require between 200 and 250 hours of work, depending on your work style, and unexpected issues that may emerge in the course of the project. Upon satisfactory completion of the project, we would be happy to write you a professional recommendation or provide you access to our professional network, as applicable and appropriate.

Compensation:

• Depending on your experience and other considerations, we will agree on an hourly rate of between $40 and $70. You would work as an independent consultant with no additional benefits or withheld taxes, and would need to provide your own computer equipment, stable internet connection, and workspace; these cannot be provided to you.
• There is no travel reimbursement. However, payment for a specialized software license and/or cloud computing access will be permitted if it is deemed necessary and of a reasonable amount (less than $1,000).
• If you are a student needing tuition assistance, we might be able to make arrangements with your school, but your hourly rate could be reduced to stay within the project budget.

To Apply

Please click "Apply" below to include a resume and brief cover letter outlining your background, qualifications (including previous coding work in Python), why you want to work on the project, and any special circumstances we should consider.

Thank you for your interest!
