OVERALL FUNCTION
Air pollution kills nearly 5 million people a year and makes millions more sick. The burden of air pollution and climate change falls the hardest on vulnerable and disadvantaged groups, and this work aims to create win-win solutions to relieve this burden and help business and the environment prosper.
To date, we’ve done a poor job measuring and communicating the significance of air pollution, making solutions hard to implement and evaluate. However, new insights about local air pollution will make the problem personal and the status quo untenable. Pollution levels, sources and health impacts will be traced to the source, identifying opportunities to slash pollution and creating accountability. Newly empowered champions will build the public, private and political support needed to take action to protect people and the environment. Because the best actions will protect health and mitigate the risk of climate change, local insights can provide the springboard for local, regional, national and even global impact through widespread adoption in peer-to-peer networks.
Under the supervision of a Senior Manager on the EDF+Business team, the Analyst will play a significant role in supporting EDF’s efforts to reduce global greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution 25% by 2025. The Analyst will help conduct research, build the organization’s knowledge base, develop strong partnerships, and communicate internally and externally.
Working on a dynamic team with colleagues from across EDF, the Analyst will design and execute research projects targeted at businesses and other key audiences to define the value of understanding and acting to address both climate change and air pollution. Over time, the Analyst will help transform this research into opportunities for collaboration with leading companies, innovators, cities and networks to enable commitments and accountability to reduce harmful pollution. The Manager will also assist EDF+Business in expanding innovation projects and best practices to other EDF programs.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
Provide analytical and research support to the Senior Manager, as well as other stakeholders across EDF;
Assist with internal and external communications and written work product such as blogs, proposals and reports;
Prepare information and respond to inquiries from a variety of stakeholders, including internal staff and corporate partners;
Develop work plans and timetables, identifying and procuring necessary resources, and manage project work and deliverables;
Assist with strategy and capacity building;
Organize meetings and workshops
QUALIFICATIONS
Bachelor’s degree in business, economics, environmental studies, political science, or public policy required; Master’s degree preferred. Undergraduate experience must include some university-level science coursework (e.g., engineering, physics, computer science).
1-3 years relevant work experience
Strong management skills: ability to manage projects independently, exercising judgment about seeking assistance. Meeting deadlines and managing multiple deliverables
Analytic skills: ability to design and implement complex analysis
Strong verbal and written communication skills: ability to distill complex analysis, ideas and strategies in straightforward, common language. Ability to turn around written assignments quickly at a consistently high level.
Business interest: commitment to directing business skills and private leadership to environmental impact.
Commitment to air pollution/environmental health/climate: passion for creating new opportunities for business to protect health and the planet
Ability to work both independently and collaboratively in an entrepreneurial, dynamic and creative environment
Strong presence and demonstrated ability to work effectively with colleagues and partners (both internal and external) from diverse communities, cultures, backgrounds and experience

We know all about the damage we’re doing to the planet: climate change, plastic pollution, wildlife disappearing forever. But solutions are all around us: better solar panels, better energy storage technology, better electric cars, and on and on.
Our mission—the thing that drives everything we do—is to harness our country’s wealth, our technology and our imagination to make our world a greener, healthier and more sustainable place to live for all of us.
Imagine yourself organizing a town hall meeting on solar power. Or building a community coalition to keep local waters clean. Imagine building the organizational power—the funds, the membership, the activist base and more—that it takes to keep all of this critical work going for the long haul.
That’s what you’ll do with Environment America during this two-year fellowship program. We work to mobilize the support it takes to build more solar and wind power, reduce global warming pollution, keep our beaches, rivers and streams clean, protect our wildlife and wild places, and hold polluters accountable when they violate our environmental laws.
What you'll do
Build powerful coalitions: Reach out to small business owners, farmers, public health officials and others to demonstrate support for our policy goals
Earn traditional media and social media attention: Organize news conferences and write opinion pieces. Build a following on Facebook and Twitter for your campaigns
Lobby elected officials: Coordinate strategy with a champion in Congress. Make a convincing case to a legislator who is undecided on a particular vote. Work the “inside game” to complement our outside field operation, where most of our power is derived
Research and write reports: Catalogue and analyze sources of carbon pollution in the U.S. Detail the success of the Clean Water Act in our reports. Help influence public debate and earn media attention for our cause
Identify and cultivate donors: Reach out to foundations and major donors and ask them to fund our work to tackle global warming, promote clean energy, and protect our most spectacular natural areas
Run a grassroots campaign office each summer of your fellowship: Hire and manage a staff of 20 canvassers. Raise money, build our organization and membership, and help win one of our key campaigns
Pay & Benefits
The target annual compensation for this position is $27,000 in the first year. Environment America offers a competitive benefits package. We also offer an excellent training program and opportunities for advancement. Positions start in August 2019. Immediate positions also available.

Environment California is hiring an experienced advocate to protect public health and the environment by shifting California’s electricity, cars, and buildings to be powered by 100% clean, renewable energy. Especially when the federal government is rolling back clean air laws, the need for leadership from California is more critical than ever. The top area of focus will be the transportation system, our state’s largest source of air pollution and global warming pollution. We need to accelerate the transition to 100% clean electric vehicles, including clean trucks, buses and cars.
Mission and Background
Environment California is a policy and action group with tens of thousands of supporters across the state. Our mission is to protect clean air, clean water and open space. Over the last 15 years we have won campaigns to dramatically expand the use of solar and other clean energy, and get cleaner cars and buses on the road. We’ve reduced plastic pollution flowing into the Pacific Ocean, we’ve stopped oil drilling and blocked efforts to expand fracking, and protected our parks and beaches and forests throughout the state.
The Clean Energy Advocate is responsible for developing our strategy, approach and local message to win campaigns. The advocate will meet with local decision-makers and opinion leaders and represent our organization to allies and the media. Advocates also help to build and foster our membership, grassroots and online base of support. Finally, the advocate will help recruit staff and volunteers to join us, fundraise for our programs, and maintain good systems for tracking and building on our work.
Representative Responsibilities
Program: Run the California clean energy program, participating in and overseeing policy development, research and messaging.
Advocacy: Bring problems and solutions to the attention of decision-makers—including state legislators, people on the governor’s staff, state regulators and local officials. Develop appropriate messages and materials for making the case to decision-makers. Build relationships with key players in the state, the region and at the federal level.
Campaign strategy: Develop plans to win on our campaigns for trucks, buses and cars that run on 100% clean energy. Assess opportunities for building political support for our agenda through coalition-building, grassroots organizing, media coverage, endorsements and message development.
Media outreach: Serve as the public spokesperson for our environmental campaigns through media events, press releases, editorial board meetings and other outreach with a goal of building name recognition for the organization, educating the public about our issues, and building and demonstrating support for our positions.
Coalition building: Identify, reach out and work with partners who can help us win our campaigns.
Fundraising: Write grant proposals, build relationships with foundation staff and meet with donors, all to bring more resources to campaigns we're waging to protect our environment.
Staff recruitment and development: Recruit new staff and volunteers to increase our impact and build our power.
Qualifications
Candidates must have at least 3-5 years of relevant professional experience. Qualified candidates will have a demonstrated commitment to environmental and public interest issues and to citizen-based social change, as well as a track record of leadership. We're looking for goal-driven and results-oriented individuals who have excellent verbal, writing and analytical skills, the ability to speak persuasively in a charged atmosphere, and enthusiasm for the work. The ideal candidate will have experience in state-level political advocacy and organizing, a proven ability to recruit, train and develop staff, the ability to raise money, and demonstrated success in building relationships with the full spectrum of environmental and political stakeholders.
Pay & Benefits
Target annual compensation for this position is commensurate with the relevant professional experience and/or advanced degrees that a candidate has. Environment California offers a competitive benefits package.
