Climate Power has an immediate opening for a Communications Assistant to help drive the organization’s communication strategy around the importance of climate and clean energy investments, sell the benefits of climate action in key communities and block efforts to dismantle climate progress. The Communications Assistant is a member of the Communications team and will support daily operations and tasks, especially those relative to rapid response and longer term projects.

A nimble and sophisticated communications campaign, Climate Power was founded by the League of Conservation Voters, Sierra Club and the Center for American Progress Action Fund in 2020 to build the political will and public support needed for climate action. Climate Power’s coordination of smart, aggressive communications campaigns has proven itself an indispensable part of the climate movement. Our job is to put climate on offense and neutralize the opposition’s attacks. We do it by defining climate change as not only an existential threat that we must address but a huge opportunity to move beyond fossil fuels and into a clean energy economy that creates jobs and lowers costs. We partner closely with allies to leverage our collective power. We coordinate paid and earned communications to move proven climate messages to policymakers, voters, and the press. We bring proven political campaign tactics to climate advocacy fights.
