Job Description
Department: Program
Employment Type: Full Time
Location: Washington, DC
Compensation: $39,750 - $5,000 / year
Description
Environment America has one mission: to protect the natural world. We're hiring a Conservation and Wildlife Advocate to work in Washington, DC to protect wildlife and wild places.
We share our planet with countless incredible creatures, from the grizzly on the ridgeline to the butterfly in our backyard. Many are on the brink of extinction. As an advocate with Environment America, you'll work with hunters and anglers, farmers, wildlife photographers and lawmakers from both parties to advance solutions to recover America's wildlife populations and the habitat they need to thrive.
Key Responsibilities
Environment America's Conservation and Wildlife Advocate will work to advance our policy goals in Washington, DC. This position requires excellent judgment and discretion and the ability to oversee significant projects. Responsibilities may include but are not limited to:
- Advocacy : Meet with members of Congress and federal government officials to advocate for strong environmental policies. Develop collaborative relationships with legislators and congressional staff on both sides of the aisle and federal agencies to advance our policy goals.
- Coalition building : Serve as the Environment America voice in conservation coalitions. Recruit new partners who can help us win campaigns, including unlikely allies who might agree with us on one issue, even if we disagree on other issues.
- Fundraising : Fund our campaigns and grow our impact by raising money from foundations and individual donors.
- Media and communications : Write reports, fact sheets, news releases, blogs, op-eds, and other forms of communication to get our message in the media and heard by decision-makers and the public. Represent Environment America with reporters.
- Campaign strategy : Develop campaign plans and tactics. Work creatively with our state and national leadership.
- Staff recruitment and management : Build our team by recruiting and managing interns and participating in staff recruitment efforts. Potential to oversee staff.
A successful candidate will have excellent writing and public speaking skills; at least two years of professional full time experience in organizing, advocacy, campaigning or legislative work; be a solid team player; and have the passion and grit to do what it takes to get the work done. Top candidates will also have these qualities:
- Up for a challenge. You have a bold vision of a greener world, but you know that lasting change-especially in gridlocked Washington, D.C.--often comes one challenging step at a time. You work hard to achieve your goals, whether that means hours of calling activists or monitoring middle-of-the-night Senate votes.
- Ready to build a movement. The progress we're seeking can't be won in a single policy or election. You're excited to meet with Democrats, Republicans, farmers, business owners and anyone else you think might share our love of wildlife.
- Organized and strategic. You can make plans for long-term success. You can balance multiple competing goals and policy priorities.
If this sounds like you, we hope you'll apply to join our team.
Details
Compensation and Benefits
The starting annual compensation range for this position is 39,750- 55,000 for a candidate with 2-8 years of experience. Candidates on the lower end of directly relevant experience should expect to be on the lower end of this range; candidates on the higher end of relevant experience are likely to be on the higher end of this range. Environment America offers an excellent benefits package. Our benefits package includes medical, dental, and vision insurance for employees and dependents, time off, a commuter benefit program, a 401(k) plan with employer match, parental leave, long term disability insurance, and may include needs-based student loan assistance.
