What is a remote environmental justice?

A Remote Environmental Justice job focuses on addressing environmental inequalities and advocating for sustainable solutions while working remotely. These roles can involve research, policy analysis, community outreach, advocacy, and project management for nonprofits, government agencies, or private organizations. Responsibilities may include developing policies, coordinating initiatives, and promoting equitable access to clean air, water, and other environmental resources. Remote positions allow professionals to collaborate with diverse communities and organizations from anywhere, often using digital tools for communication and impact.

To thrive in a Remote Environmental Justice role, you need a background in environmental science, policy analysis, or social justice, combined with research and data interpretation skills. Experience with GIS software, data collection tools, and knowledge of key regulations like the Clean Air Act or NEPA is typically required, and certifications related to environmental or sustainability fields can be advantageous. Strong communication, cultural competency, and the ability to collaborate across remote teams are essential soft skills. These qualifications are important for effectively advocating for affected communities, analyzing environmental impacts, and driving positive policy change from a remote setting.

Remote Environmental Justice professionals may face challenges such as building trust with impacted communities without direct, on-site engagement and coordinating effectively across geographically dispersed teams. Managing large volumes of data, staying updated on evolving regulations, and ensuring clear communication with stakeholders can also require extra diligence in a virtual environment. However, leveraging digital collaboration tools, regular virtual meetings, and maintaining proactive communication channels can help address these challenges.

Job description

Across the country, Black communities face persistent news and information gaps alongside acute challenges tied to civic participation, health outcomes, environmental justice, public safety, and economic mobility. Capital B is building a national network of local newsrooms - with existing operations in Atlanta and Gary, Indiana, and active expansion underway across Georgia, and into new markets in the south - to deliver accountability reporting, service journalism, and community-driven storytelling that centers Black communities and lived experience.
THE OPPORTUNITY
The Development Officer will play a central role in securing the philanthropic infrastructure that powers Capital B's journalism and growth. This is a high-impact, high-accountability role responsible for owning and closing a national portfolio of institutional funders - foundations, corporate philanthropies, and public funding sources - with a target of $5 million or more in closed institutional gifts annually. The role blends rigorous pipeline management and high-velocity prospecting with deep funder relationship-building and sophisticated grant writing.
This role will partner closely with executive leadership, and development colleagues to identify and close institutional funders aligned with Capital B's journalism mission, community impact priorities, and geographic expansion - including current and future newsrooms in Georgia, Indiana, and across the South.
The ideal candidate is a seasoned institutional fundraiser: someone who has managed a large, complex portfolio; has a proven track record of closing six- and seven-figure gifts; and brings the discipline, urgency, and narrative skill to move institutional relationships from prospect to multi-year partner.
Salary range: $70,000 - $80,000.
This is a remote position, with a preference for candidates who are based in Georgia or the Southeast.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
  • Own and manage a national institutional giving pipeline capable of generating $5 million or more in closed gifts annually, spanning foundations, corporate philanthropies, donor-advised funds, and public funding sources.
  • Proactively identify, qualify, and cultivate new institutional prospects at the $250,000+ gift level, with a strong focus on securing multi-year commitments from funders aligned with Capital B's journalism, racial equity, and community impact mission.
  • Maintain a rigorous, high-velocity prospecting practice: continuously identifying new funders through research, sector intelligence, convenings, and relationship referrals, and moving qualified prospects through the funnel with urgency and consistency.
  • Set and meet monthly and quarterly prospecting benchmarks; ensure the pipeline always reflects a realistic path to annual goal attainment.
  • Own all aspects of the philanthropic cycle for an institutional portfolio: identification, qualification, cultivation, solicitation, and stewardship.
  • Develop and execute tailored cultivation and solicitation strategies for each institutional relationship, including program officer meetings, briefing materials, site visits, and proposal strategy sessions with executive leadership.
  • Build trusted, long-term relationships with program officers, foundation executives, and corporate philanthropy leaders, and represent Capital B's mission with authority and authenticity.
  • Develop and lead national and regional fundraising strategies that support Capital B's current and future newsrooms, with particular focus on Georgia, Indiana (Gary and broader), and continued growth across the South, including the Mississippi Delta region and other emerging markets.
  • Translate complex organizational priorities - newsroom launches, editorial initiatives, community engagement programs, and expansion milestones - into clear, compelling, fundable opportunities.
  • Obsessively track all prospect activity, cultivation progress, portfolio movement, and next steps in the CRM so it is accurate, current, and a reliable source of truth for the development team and organizational leadership.

WHAT YOU'LL BRING
  • 3-5 years of experience in development work, including foundations/grants and donor relations; experience supporting place-based or community-centered work strongly preferred.
  • Demonstrated ability to manage multiple workstreams with strong attention to detail, excellent organization, and reliable follow-through.
  • Strong writing and editing skills, including the ability to produce compelling proposals, donor communications, reports, and briefing materials.
  • Experience with prospect research, portfolio/pipeline management, and moves management.
  • Ability to build trust with a range of stakeholders-foundation staff, major donors, journalists, community partners, and senior leaders-and to represent Capital B effectively in virtual and in-person settings.
  • Comfort working in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment and prioritizing action while maintaining quality.
  • Familiarity with journalism organizations is a plus, but not required.
  • Commitment to Capital B's mission and a deep appreciation for the role journalism plays in Black communities and in our democracy.
WHAT WE'LL BRING
Capital B is a small, mission-driven team that takes its work and its people seriously. You'll join a development team that is building something new and meaningful, with direct access to senior leadership and real ownership of your portfolio from day one.
  • Competitive salary ($70,000 - $80,000)
  • Generous PTO and company holidays
  • 20 weeks parental leave and 12 weeks caregiver leave
  • 401(k)
  • Health, dental, and vision insurance
  • Life insurance and short-term disability
  • Health and dependent care flexible spending accounts
  • Professional development fund
  • Monthly phone and internet stipend
