What is a Climate Coalition?

A Climate Coalition is a group or alliance of organizations, communities, or individuals working together to address climate change. These coalitions often bring together environmental groups, businesses, policymakers, and concerned citizens to advocate for policies, raise awareness, and implement solutions aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions and promoting sustainability. Their activities may include organizing campaigns, lobbying governments, supporting renewable energy initiatives, and fostering collaboration across different sectors. The main goal of a Climate Coalition is to amplify collective impact in the fight against climate change.

How do professionals in a Climate Coalition typically collaborate with partner organizations and stakeholders?

Professionals working in a Climate Coalition often coordinate closely with a diverse range of partner organizations, such as NGOs, government agencies, academic institutions, and private sector companies. This collaboration typically involves regular meetings, joint campaigns, sharing research and data, and aligning advocacy strategies. Effective communication and the ability to build consensus among stakeholders with different priorities are essential skills. Team members may be responsible for organizing coalition-wide initiatives, drafting joint statements, and ensuring that each partner’s voice is represented in decision-making processes.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Climate Coalition Coordinator, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Climate Coalition Coordinator, you need a background in environmental science or policy, experience in advocacy or nonprofit work, and strong project management abilities. Familiarity with tools like CRM systems, campaign management platforms, and social media analytics is often expected. Outstanding communication, collaboration, and organizational skills help in building partnerships and driving collective action. These skills are crucial for effectively mobilizing groups, increasing public engagement, and achieving impactful climate initiatives.

Job description

Illinois PIRG is hiring an Associate to work on our campaigns for Climate Solutions. The way we turn on the lights, heat and cool our homes, and get around town shouldn't be dependent on burning fossil fuels. And increasingly the solutions to reduce our climate emissions are not only possible, but safer and more affordable for consumers. But we still have work to do in order to convince decision makers, and the public, to adopt them. 

PIRG has a 50-year history of consumer advocacy, advancing policy solutions to problems that affect our health, our safety and our well-being. The Climate Solutions Associate will work closely with our state director and our network of coalition partners and volunteers to run campaigns for climate solutions, like shifting off of gas to heat our homes, increasing energy conservation and energy efficiency, and promoting renewable energy. 
  • Build powerful coalitions: Reach out to a broad range of organizations and affected constituency groups across the political spectrum to demonstrate support for our campaign goals. 
  • Earn traditional media and social media attention: Organize news conferences and write opinion pieces. Build a following on social media for your campaign.
  • Organize events and work with volunteers. Organize webinars, community events and public meetings. Recruit organizations and members of the public to attend and participate.
  • Lobby elected officials: Meet with decision makers - from city council members to state legislators - to make the case for our campaign goals. When a critical vote is happening on your campaign, work to demonstrate the support you've been building on the ground to help line up the votes needed to win. 
  • Research and write persuasive campaign materials: Catalog and analyze data relevant to the issue and our policy proposals to help influence public debate and earn media attention for our cause.
  • Recruit new people to your team: Help build your team by recruiting volunteers, interns and full-time staff.
  • Run a grassroots campaign office each summer: Run a campaign office for the summer, knocking on doors to raise money to support our campaigns, build our organization and membership, and help build critical and timely grassroots support to win key campaigns. Your responsibilities will include meeting your own fundraising goals and managing a team of paid staff. You may be assigned to a different office location for the summer and should be flexible to move.
This position requires exercising discretion and independent judgment in making decisions in matters of significance.
Entry-level candidates are encouraged to apply. Though we expect you to take your campaign and run with it, we provide training on advocacy and organizing skills, as well as oversight by an experienced advocate. Ideal candidates will have leadership experience, top-notch writing and public speaking skills, an eagerness to learn, and be ready for a challenge. We value organizing experience, including building campus or community groups.
Compensation and Benefits
The target annual compensation for this entry level position is $38,250-$39,500 in the first year. Illinois PIRG 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. We also offer an excellent training program and opportunities for advancement.

Location
Chicago, IL

This position will start in the summer of 2026. We are accepting applications on a rolling basis.
