Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Content production and editorial pipelines
  • Own the systems that get Carbon180's work out the door on a regular schedule, not just when a major report drops.
  • - Write and edit blogs, explainers, one-pagers, newsletter copy, and social content across our policy areas
  • - Manage production for our newsletters, working with program staff to source and shape content
  • - Own the editorial calendar for our channels, including what runs, when it runs, and in what order
  • - Work directly with policy, science, and program colleagues to pull out what's newsworthy in their work and translate it into plain language
  • - Hold the line on voice and quality across everything we publish, maintaining and improving our style guide and internal comms hub
  • Media and public relations support
  • Advance Carbon180's media program in partnership with our external PR firm.
  • - Draft press releases, statements, media advisories, and talking points

Requirements

  • Six to ten years of experience in communications, marketing, content production, journalism, or advocacy, within government, NGOs, or related fields.
  • A focus on climate or carbon removal is very welcomed, but not required.
  • Strong writing capabilities. You should be able to move between a 1,500-word blog, a 40-word Instagram caption, and a fundraising email without losing the thread. Experience in engaging with donor audiences is welcomed.
  • Ability to analyze trends and challenges in the team’s focus area and contribute to the development of strategies, research, or policy recommendations, with guidance from senior team members as needed.
  • Working knowledge of social media management and performance data, enough to know what to do differently next month. Comfort with email marketing and CRM platforms. We use Mailchimp and Salesforce. If you've used something similar, you'll be fine. Experience with Wordpress is welcomed, but not required.
  • Experience collaborating across teams, contributing to shared goals, and providing peer-level guidance to support team effectiveness and professional development.
  • Strong communication skills, with experience translating complex topics for diverse audiences, contributing to the development of communications or materials, and representing the team in meetings and stakeholder engagements with support as needed.
  • Commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion, belonging, and justice (DEIBJ), with a growing track record of applying these principles in communications and public affairs work, and contributing to an inclusive team culture.
  • Experience in video production and relevant tools is welcomed, but not required.

Preferred

  • Experience in video production and relevant tools is welcomed, but not required.

Benefits

  • 36-hour workweeks (we close at 1 pm every Friday) and dedicated no-meeting time each week.
