Plastics Campaign Associate

Do you want to make a difference protecting and restoring the abundance of the oceans? Join a dedicated team of professionals who are working to protect our oceans, which play a critical role in reducing the impacts of climate change, feeding a growing global population, and supporting the livelihoods of coastal communities that depend on healthy oceans. The Plastics Campaign Associate works as part of Oceana’s U.S. Plastics Campaign to protect the oceans from plastic pollution by passing policies to reduce the production and use of unnecessary single-use plastic. The associate will research the plastics problem and solutions; develop campaign materials, including fact sheets and grassroots activist tools; analyze policy proposals; and engage in outreach to key constituencies and decision makers. The associate also will organize events and track various aspects of the plastics problem and our campaign work to stop plastic pollution. The ideal candidate will have excellent interpersonal, written, and communication skills, including the ability to synthesize complex information into simple, publicly digestible material. In addition, the candidate should have experience planning and executing projects, taking initiative, and effectively juggling multiple tasks at once. Founded in 2001, Oceana is the world’s largest ocean advocacy organization focused solely on restoring the resilience and abundance of the ocean. We achieve measurable change by conducting specific, science-based policy campaigns with fixed deadlines and clearly articulated goals. Oceana values a diverse workforce and welcomes people different from each other in many ways, including characteristics such as race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, ethnicity, and national origin. Oceana considers all qualified candidates and seeks to recruit from a diverse candidate pool. Oceana’s US offices have operated on a hybrid schedule and staff have been required to work from their assigned office on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. With agreement between the employee and their supervisor, the employee may work from home on Monday and Friday. #J-18808-Ljbffr Oceana
