Communications Manager Remote Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Position
Global Energy Monitor is seeking an experienced communications professional to join its communications team. The Strategic Communications Manager will be responsible for GEM's editorial calendar and support communications work across its editorial portfolio and media relations - identifying key trends and stories within complex data and translating them into compelling narratives.
This is a broad, hands-on role for someone with strategic judgement and disciplined project management skills and the ability to lend a hand across a diverse communications portfolio. The manager will work closely with GEM's Communications and program teams to support major reports, data releases, and other communications projects from initial planning through publication and follow-up.
The Challenge
According to the Intergovernmental Panel of Climate Change (IPCC), we have less than a decade to make massive and unprecedented changes in the global economy to avoid the worst impacts of climate change. To meet that challenge,
Global Energy Monitor is creating trackers and other tools to provide detailed information on energy facilities, sponsors, and financing.
