Job Description
Go Solar Campaign Associate

Department: Program

Employment Type: Full Time

Location: Amherst, MA

Reporting To: Johanna Neumann

Compensation: $38,250 - $39,500/ year

Description

Are you passionate about building public support to grow renewable energy? Do you want to bring your smarts and creativity to bear on campaigns that build the public support necessary for America to realize its renewable energy potential? Are you ready to work hard? If so, consider applying to be Environment America's Go Solar Associate.

Key Responsibilities

As a Go Solar Campaign Associate you will run creative campaigns to build public support for solar energy and win policies that allow solar energy to flourish. Some of the things you will do:

Outreach and engagement: Attend events and talk with people about the benefits of renewable energy, including rooftop solar and energy storage, and give supporters the opportunity to take meaningful action.

Writing and communications: Author fact sheets, news releases, op-eds, coalition sign-on letters, articles, actions and updates for our website, emails to our members, and more about opportunities to grow solar energy.

Organize events: Organize webinars, community events and public meetings to build and demonstrate support for solar energy, including recruiting organizations and members of the public to attend and participate.
Build and mobilize coalitions: Represent Environment America in existing coalitions, lead efforts to build and expand coalitions, and cultivate relationships with diverse and powerful allies to demonstrate the breadth and depth of support for solar energy.

Advocate before decision-makers: Present a compelling case for policies that will grow solar energy through lobbying, testifying at hearings, providing briefings, producing written materials for decision-makers, and supporting the campaign team in its efforts to build relationships with key players on solar energy at the federal, state, local and boardroom level.
Recruit new people to your team: Play an important role in building your team by recruiting volunteers, interns and full-time staff.
Run a grassroots campaign office in the summer: In the summer, you will run a campaign office to raise money to support our campaigns, build our organization and membership, and help build critical and timely grassroots support to win key campaigns while honing your organizing and management skills. You may be assigned to a different office location for the summer and should be flexible to move.
This position requires excellent judgment, discretion and the ability to oversee significant projects.

Qualifications

Entry-level candidates who have a passion for clean energy and an appreciation for Environment America's approach and core values 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
Organizing experience, including building campus or community groups
