  • Manage feedback from multiple stakeholders while holding the line on editorial quality.
  • Tighten and cut text, making sure every word earns its place.
  • Work with designers, videographers and a photo coordinator to develop accompanying visuals (graphics, photos, videos and other interactive formats).
  • Collaborate with Marketing team colleagues on promotional campaigns
  • Travel approximately twice each year, and on rare occasions work outside of standard office hours when deadlines and breaking news dictate.
  • Participates in advancing EDF's organizational effectiveness and culture goals, so people from all backgrounds and experiences feel connected, included, and empowered to address the environmental and organizational challenges in ways that align with EDF values.

Qualifications
  • At least 6 years' related work experience, preferably including journalism. Must be comfortable in both print and digital writing and editing. Experience in marketing and/or nonprofits a plus.
  • Excellent research reporting and interviewing skills. Editing experience preferred.
  • A writing style that is crystal clear, jargon-free, concise and engaging, no matter what the topic or audience.
  • Ability to generate creative ideas and operate independently to meet deadlines yet also thrive on collaboration and feedback.
  • Top-notch people skills - proven ability to navigate relationships across a large organization with positivity, humor and grace
  • Excellent organizational and time management skills; able to juggle multiple deadlines, shifting priorities and complex projects with multiple stakeholders.
  • Experience implementing SEO and other digital media strategies; familiarity with web analytics, AEO/GEO and audience engagement a plus.
  • Experience selecting imagery and helping to develop editorial graphics and infographics.
  • Comfortable using Drupal or a similar content management system.
  • Working knowledge of environmental issues preferred. Particular interest/expertise in subjects related to EDF's core areas of work, a plus.
  • Demonstrates self-awareness, cultural competency and inclusivity, and ability to work with colleagues and stakeholders across diverse cultures and backgrounds.
