About 350.org
Through relentless campaigning over the past seven years, 350.org has helped activate a global grassroots movement to fight climate change. And we want you to join us.
Working with diverse allies and volunteers, our small team of young organisers has energised millions of people around the globe, demonstrated sustainable solutions, and influenced the debate on climate in the media and among politicians.
Our team is an inclusive and collaborative group that is committed to principles of justice, and we work as allies to community-based groups around the world. We are working hard to bring new perspectives and backgrounds into our team, and to make 350.org an inviting place to work for any candidate who applies.
About the Global Communications Coordinator position
As Global Communications Coordinator you would work directly with 350.org’s communication team to support work currently underway around global campaigns. This role reports to the Global Communications Manager. Tasks to be carried out are wide ranging and include: help craft and implement strategic communications plans for specific campaigns, help in further building existing databases (e.g.: media tracking database), developing content material (such as FAQ’s), support and coordinate with regional teams at specific moments requiring rapid media response, as well as support the Global Communications Manager with additional capacity to implement particular projects.
This is a fast-paced job and would often require juggling multiple tasks simultaneously often tackling several issues in parallel, from helping to draft a press release, to partaking in strategy conversations and liaising with colleagues and partners, to organising databases on a regular basis. We are looking for someone who can keep calm, positive, and task oriented in chaotic environments. In addition, this position requires someone who is detail-oriented, creative and has strong inter-personal skills. If you are looking for a regular 9-5 desk job, with a set routine, this is not the position for you.
Required Qualifications
- Minimum 3-5 years of experience in communications and/or media relations.
- Strong familiarity with climate and environmental issues.
- An understanding of the global media landscape, in particular key publications and outlets for environmental and climate change related news.
- An excellent communicator in English.
- A people-person who can build relationships with the 350.org staff and volunteer network and also members of the press.
- Willingness to be available non-traditional hours as needed to ensure results.
- Experience managing projects.
- Proficiency maintaining spreadsheets and databases, strong email communication, comfort working remotely with colleagues in multiple time-zones via skype, conference calls, and other online tools.
Bonuses (we expect a successful applicant to have at least 2 to 3 of these)
- Minimum 2 years of experience doing communications for a nonprofit or campaign.
- Multilingual.
- Experience working and living in multiple countries.
- Experience and competency working in multicultural groups.
- Experience collaborating with diverse constituencies (labour, displaced communities)
- Experience running communications trainings for staff or volunteers.
- A track record of using nontraditional and traditional media together to achieve communications objectives.
Position Type: Full time.
Application Deadline: 1 April, 2015
Start Date: As Soon As Possible (Flexible)
Location: This is a remote position. We are highly interested in candidates residing in either European, Mediterranean, and/or African time zones.
