Full Job Description

Environment America has one mission: to protect the natural world. We’re hiring an experienced and creative campaigner to lead our work in Washington, D.C. to defend and win new protections for clean air, clean water, clean energy, wildlife and open spaces, and a livable climate.

Key Responsibilities

Environment America’s Federal Campaigns Director will guide and execute campaigns to advance our policy goals in Washington, DC. This position requires excellent judgment and discretion and the ability to oversee significant projects. Key responsibilities may include but are not limited to:

Strategy: Develop and advance our federal policy agenda, including campaigns to recover America’s wildlife, make our waterways safe for swimming and reduce plastic pollution.
Advocacy: Lobby Congress and the federal government on our policy priorities. Advocate for our positions and persuade decision makers to act, while developing collaborative relationships with legislators and congressional staff on both sides of the aisle.
Coalition Building: Reach out to a broad range of organizations and constituency groups across the political spectrum to demonstrate support for our campaign goals. Run weekly or monthly coalition meetings with groups that have committed to work together on our campaigns.
Media and Visibility: Get coverage for our campaigns and vision in the media and other channels in order to educate and motivate our supporters and decision-makers. Write press releases, op-eds, and letters to the editor; meet with reporters and hold press events; maintain an active social media presence for our campaigns.
Fundraising: Earn support for our program from foundations and individual donors.
Build the team: Recruit, hire and manage advocates and interns to make more progress on our campaigns.

Qualifications

You are:

Passionate about the environment and using the power of grassroots organizing to win campaigns.
A campaign advocate, grassroots organizer, lobbyist or legislative staffer or with at least 5 years of experience.
An effective communicator with excellent writing and public speaking skills. Experience getting traditional and digital media coverage in previous work is a plus.
Creative and effective at solving complex problems; a strategic thinker who can take advantage of new opportunities.
A team leader with a track record of recruiting people and improving performance, or the skills to do so.
Willing and interested in working with people who think differently than you in order to build broad support for our campaigns.
Well-organized and able to make plans for long-term success, across multiple priorities.
A hard worker, willing to spend hours calling activists or monitoring middle-of-the-night Senate votes to win your campaigns.
