We’re looking for passionate and dedicated advocate who wakes up every day ready to join hands with allies to fight for the right of all people to breathe clean air and drink clean water; live in safe, affordable, and healthy homes; access affordable public transportation that leads to economic opportunity; and prosper with green jobs that pay family-sustaining wages.
The ideal candidate will have demonstrated experience in getting things done independently and successfully, will fearlessly and proactively tackle new challenges and responsibilities, crave working in a fast-paced and demanding high-profile environment, think creatively and analytically, and be flexible, highly organized, and seriously dedicated to stopping climate change and saving the world. You will also
enjoy and value relationship-building with people from all backgrounds, places and experiences.
