Full Job Description

From the Northwoods, to the shores of Lake Michigan, to the mighty Mississippi, Wisconsin’s natural environment is something special.

We are seeking a Conservation Advocate to conserve and protect Wisconsin’s special places, defend the wildlife that call our state home, reduce our reliance on single use plastics and other products that needlessly pollute and waste resources, and promote clean energy solutions.

Key Responsibilities

Our Conservation Advocate will lead our efforts to protect the places that make Wisconsin a special place to live. This position requires exercising discretion and independent judgment in making decisions in matters of significance. Responsibilities may include, but are not limited to:

Help shape program priorities: Participate in policy development, research and messaging to determine our priorities and policy positions for environmental protection in Wisconsin.
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, including unlikely allies who might agree with us on one issue, even if we disagree on other issues.
Organize events and recruit volunteers: Organize webinars, community events and public meetings. Recruit organizations and members of the public to attend and participate.
Earn traditional media and social media attention: Organize media events and write opinion pieces. Build a following on social media for your campaign.
Advocate: Present a compelling case for strong action on the environment to decision-makers through lobbying, testifying at hearings, and producing powerful written materials. Build relationships with key players in the state, the region and at the federal level.
Fundraise: Write grant proposals, build relationships with foundation staff, and raise money from individual donors, to bring more resources to our campaigns.
Grow our team: Identify and recruit strong candidates to join our staff and manage interns to maximize the impact of your campaigns. Potential to oversee staff.

Qualifications

You are:

Passionate about the environment and using the power of grassroots organizing to win campaigns.
A campaign advocate or grassroots organizer with at least 2 years of advocacy or organizing experience. Advanced degrees may count toward 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 people person and good listener with a track record of successful access-building; willing and interested in working with people who think differently than you.
Well-organized and able to work on multiple legislative and administrative proposals at once.

Additional helpful experience:

Experience in the state legislature or other government office, or with an environmental or public health advocacy organization is a plus but not required.
Fundraising experience, particularly in grant-seeking from charitable foundations.

Compensation and Benefits

The starting annual compensation range for someone with 2-5 years of relevant experience is $40,000-$46,000. Candidates on the lower end of directly relevant experience should expect to be on the lower end of this range; candidates on the higher end of relevant experience are likely to be on the higher end of this range. Wisconsin Environment 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.

Location

Madison, WI preferred. We will also consider other locations in Wisconsin.

About Environment America

Environment America has one mission: to protect the natural world.

We advocate ideas and actions to guide our country onto a greener, healthier path. Our network of 30 state environmental groups promotes clean air, clean water, clean energy, wildlife and open spaces, and a livable climate. Our members put grassroots support behind our research, public education, advocacy and litigation.

Nothing is more important to our future than facing this fact: Infinite economic growth on a finite planet is neither wise nor possible. We must shift from deplete to preserve, from disposable to sustainable, from “never enough” to “enough.” Together, our staff, members and other supporters are committed to winning changes that allow nature to thrive and our children to live healthier, more enriching lives.
