To thrive as an Environment Director, you need advanced knowledge of environmental science, policy, and management, typically supported by a relevant degree and significant leadership experience.

Coordinating efforts across various teams requires strong communication and the ability to negotiate priorities while ensuring compliance with environmental regulations. Additionally, securing adequate resources and maintaining stakeholder engagement are critical for the long-term success of environmental initiatives.

They ensure compliance with environmental regulations, develop sustainability strategies, and work to reduce the organization's environmental impact.

Environment Directors play a key role in shaping company policies around waste management, energy use, and conservation efforts.

Job description

Alaska Environment Campaign Associate
Department: State
Employment Type: Full Time
Location: Anchorage, AK
Reporting To: Dyani Chapman
Compensation: $38,250 - $39,500 / year
Description
Alaska Environment is hiring a Campaign Associate to help advance campaigns to protect Alaska's air, water, wildlife, and climate in addition to more broadly winning hearts and minds for a more sustainable future. Right now, our energy sources are polluting our air and water, warming our climate and oceans, and putting important habitats and wildlife at risk. A disposable culture is creating microplastics and introducing other pollutants into our air and water that can hurt Alaskans and our wildlife. Adopting renewable energy and setting up economies that do not require endless extraction of resources or create endless streams of pollution can improve the quality of our lives and protect everything from our children's lungs to the fish that fill our freezers and the beautiful landscapes we call home.
The Alaska Environment Associate will work with Alaska Environment's director and our national program team as well as with our organizers, stakeholders and key coalition allies to build momentum and expand support for campaigns that will help build a sustainable future for Alaska.
Key Responsibilities
  • Build powerful coalitions: Reach out to and engage organizations, businesses and affected constituency groups across the state and the political spectrum with common ground on relevant issues to demonstrate support for our campaign goals.
  • Public outreach and education: Attend events to educate Alaskans on issues, recruit them to take action, and build widespread support for our campaigns.
  • Earn traditional media and social media attention: Organize news conferences and write opinion pieces. Build a following on social media platforms for our campaigns.
  • Lobby elected officials: Meet with decision makers - from local officials 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 reports and articles: 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, independent judgment and ability to oversee significant projects.
Qualifications
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:
  • Passion for the environment and using the power of grassroots organizing to win campaigns
  • Leadership experience
  • Top-notch writing and public speaking skills
  • Good listening skills
  • An eagerness to learn
  • Organizing experience, including building campus or community groups
  • The ideal candidate will also be from, live in or have other deep ties to Alaska

Benefits
Compensation and Benefits
The target annual compensation for this position is $38,250-$39,500, depending on start date. Alaska Environment 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.
