Climate Campaign Associate

Overview CoPIRG is hiring an Associate to work on our campaigns for Climate Solutions. The way we turn on the lights, heat and cool our homes, and get around town shouldn’t be dependent on burning fossil fuels. And increasingly the solutions to reduce our climate emissions are not only possible, but safer and more affordable for consumers. But we still have work to do in order to convince decision makers, and the public, to adopt them. Key Responsibilities Educate and mobilize public support: Conduct online and in-person outreach to educate the public on our issues and ways to get involved. Organize webinars, community events and public meetings. Recruit organizations and members of the public to attend and participate. Build powerful coalitions: Reach out to a broad range of organizations and affected constituency groups across the political spectrum to demonstrate support for our campaign goals. Earn traditional media and social media attention: Organize news conferences and write opinion pieces. Build a following on social media for your campaign. Lobby elected officials: Meet with decision makers – from city council members to state legislators – to make the case for our campaign goals. When a critical vote is happening on your campaign, work to demonstrate the support you’ve been building on the ground to help line up the votes needed to win. Research and write reports: Catalog and analyze data relevant to the issue and our policy proposals to help influence public debate and earn media attention for our cause. Recruit new people to your team: Help build your team by recruiting volunteers, interns and full‑time staff. Run a grassroots campaign office each summer: Run a campaign office for the summer, knocking on doors to raise money to support our campaigns, build our organization and membership, and help build critical and timely grassroots support to win key campaigns. Your responsibilities will include meeting your own fundraising goals and managing a team of paid staff. You may be assigned to a different office location for the summer and should be flexible to move. Qualifications Entry‑level candidates are encouraged to apply. Though we expect you to take your campaign and run with it, we provide training on advocacy and organizing skills, as well as oversight by an experienced advocate. Ideal candidates will have leadership experience, top‑notch writing and public speaking skills, an eagerness to learn, and be ready for a challenge. We value organizing experience, including building campus or community groups. Compensation & Benefits The target annual compensation for this position is $40,250. CoPIRG offers an excellent benefits package. Our benefits package includes medical, dental, and vision insurance for employees and dependents, time off, a commuter benefit program, a 401(k) plan with employer match, parental leave, long‑term disability insurance, and may include needs‑based student loan assistance. We also offer an excellent training program and opportunities for advancement.
