Preference to work at least part time out of our Brooklyn, Washington DC, or Oakland offices. Can be remote from any U.S. time zone for the right candidate.

US Digital Campaigner

350.org is a global organization fighting for a safe climate and a better future — a just, prosperous, and equitable world built with the power of ordinary people. With the growing climate crisis, the future we are fighting for is one where we stop the fossil fuel industry and take bold action to transition to 100% renewables.

We’re looking for a creative, driven, flexible, and savvy Digital Campaigner to drive bold, effective campaigns in the United States with an eye towards building long-term grassroots power.

We’re looking for someone who thrives on a team but can work independently remotely; is comfortable using digital tactics and tools to organize communities; excited by the fast pace of rapid-response campaigning; has an understanding of climate change and US politics; is an excellent writer with acute attention to detail; and able to think outside the box and craft compelling content under short time-frames. We’re looking for someone who is committed to building a better world, and with the talent and heart to deliver.

Is that you?
