About 350.org
350.org is building a global grassroots movement to solve the climate crisis. Our online campaigns, grassroots organizing, and mass public actions are led from the bottom up by thousands of volunteer organizers in over 188 countries. 350.org works hard to organize in a new way—everywhere at once, using online tools to facilitate strategic offline action. We want to be a laboratory for the best ways to strengthen the climate movement and catalyze transformation around the world.
About the France Communications Coordinator position
As France communications coordinator you would work directly with 350.org’s communications team to help craft and implement a communications plan in the lead up to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) conference taking place in Paris end of this year. Numerous mobilisations are planned in France, in the lead up and during the conference, and would require communications support whether through social media channels or media outreach. We also recently launched a divestment campaign in France and would require the communications coordinator to also engage with and support this area of work.
We are looking for someone who can handle press for large mobilisations, train spokespeople to give media interviews, generate content for social media and also editorials for publication. Often times media campaigns will be carried out in close coordination with partner organisations. This will be a fast paced environment requiring a multitude of varying tasks to be carried out, often simultaneously, consequently we need someone who is driven, creative, passionate about storytelling and able to keep calm in chaotic circumstances. If you’re looking for a 9-5pm desk-job and a set routine, this isn’t a position for you.
