Position Overview
Family Planning 2030 (FP2030) is a global partnership of governments, civil society, multilateral organizations, donors, private sector partners, and researchers committed to supporting the rights of women and girls who wish to use contraception. Our vision is a future where women and girls everywhere have the freedom and ability to lead healthy lives, make their own informed decisions about using contraception and having children, and participate as equals in society and its development. The FP2030 Support Network consists of five hosted regional hubs: North, West and Central Africa; East and Southern Africa; Asia and the Pacific; and Latin America and the Caribbean, and North America and Europe. The FP2030 Support Network is led by an Executive Director, supported by an Executive Directorate team, who reports to the Governing Board. Each Regional Hub is headed by a Managing Director supported by a small team and hosted by an NGO within the region. The FP2030 Support Network is hosted by the United Nations Foundation (UNF), which hosts the North America and Europe Hub (NAE) and the Executive Directorate team.

An FP2030 gender strategy is essential to this next phase, to underscore the centrality of sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) to the gender equality agenda, integrate a gender lens within its own structure and processes, and encourage and equip commitment makers to improve their approaches to gender integration to advance both SRHR outcomes and gender equality. This strategy aligns FP2030 with global trends supporting gender equality, and helps stakeholders apply existing gender expertise and acquired knowledge to new investments in FP, ultimately boosting their impact. FP2030’s gender strategy is grounded in three strategic priorities: 1. Reframing FP2030’s work toward a focus on reproductive power; 2. Engaging local women-led and youth-led organizations explicitly working toward gender equality and promoting regional gender experts; and 3.

Washington State Department of Ecology
Lacey, Washington
The salary listed above includes any pay increase that goes into effect on July 1st, for this classification.
Keeping Washington Clean and Evergreen The Climate Pollution Reduction Program (CPRP) within the Department of Ecology is looking to fill a Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reporting and Verification Section Manager (WMS Band 2) position. This position is located in our Headquarters Office in Lacey, WA. Upon hire, you must live within a commutable distance from the duty station. In 2021, Washington’s Legislature passed the landmark Climate Commitment Act (CCA) – a sweeping piece of legislation that directs Ecology to develop and implement the state’s first Cap-and-Invest Program and commits our state to reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 95% by 2050. Officially launched on January 1, 2023, Washington’s program is only the second such economy-wide program in the nation, and the work of implementing this program has only just begun. It’s a big task with even bigger long-term impacts on the state’s greenhouse gas emissions and the global fight against climate change. The Cap-and-Invest Program employs market mechanisms to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in a cost-effective manner. As part of the Program, businesses and entities are required to obtain allowances tied to their emissions, which can be bought, sold, and traded. The proceeds will be invested in initiatives to decarbonize transportation and other sectors of the economy, promote clean energy, and advance equity and environmental justice. The CCA Implementation Group is already hard at work and looking to hire a diverse range of mission-focused professionals to help us make this important program a success.

Keeping Washington Clean and Evergreen The Climate Pollution Reduction Program (CPRP) within the Department of Ecology is looking to fill a Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reporting and Verification Section Manager (WMS Band 2) position. This position is located in our Headquarters Office in Lacey, WA. Upon hire, you must live within a commutable distance from the duty station. In 2021, Washington’s Legislature passed the landmark Climate Commitment Act (CCA) – a sweeping piece of legislation that directs Ecology to develop and implement the state’s first Cap-and-Invest Program and commits our state to reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 95% by 2050. Officially launched on January 1, 2023, Washington’s program is only the second such economy-wide program in the nation, and the work of implementing this program has only just begun. It’s a big task with even bigger long-term impacts on the state’s greenhouse gas emissions and the global fight against climate change. The Cap-and-Invest Program employs market mechanisms to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in a cost-effective manner. As part of the Program, businesses and entities are required to obtain allowances tied to their emissions, which can be bought, sold, and traded. The proceeds will be invested in initiatives to decarbonize transportation and other sectors of the economy, promote clean energy, and advance equity and environmental justice. The CCA Implementation Group is already hard at work and looking to hire a diverse range of mission-focused professionals to help us make this important program a success. As the Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reporting and Verification Section Manager you will play a critical role in the success of the Cap-and-Invest Program. The Emissions Reporting and Verification Section is part of the CCA Implementation Group, and is responsible for receiving, processing, analyzing, and verifying emissions data from reporting entities.

We are actively focusing on the leadership of our staff of color, knowing we are stronger when the organization reflects the vision of the world we’re building together.
What you’ll do
Corporate Accountability’s impact starts with our monthly donors—and you will be working closely with them to help realize all of the power they bring to this movement.
Corporate Accountability is a member powered organization and has been for more than four decades. It’s one of our greatest strengths because our members give us the political independence we need to wage hard-hitting campaigns that challenge deep-rooted power structures. And monthly donors are the backbone of this membership support. Their regular contribution provides financial stability so we can create long-term, strategic campaign plans and the ability to react quickly when things change.
Your job will be to grow and deepen relationships with our members while innovating and expanding the ways we fundraise monthly gifts. You will use your creativity, your people skills, and your digital skills to broaden our fundraising tactics to increase membership from young folks and members of the global majority. You’ll play an important role in the team that’s advancing racial justice and equity through organizing with our members. And, you’ll work with members to take action and create activist leadership opportunities that challenge corporate power and systemic racism, and advances our campaigns.
Who you are
The rampant abuses of corporations and the outrageous amount of power they have makes you mad as hell—and you want to do something about it.
You have a commitment to advancing racial equity and ending systems of oppression, and are ready to do this in your day-to-day work. You understand that campaigning for justice must include working to dismantle white supremacy, institutional racism, legacies of colonialism, and anti-Blackness.
You know how to ask people for money and you are skilled at moving people to financially support work that helps them achieve their vision of the world. You believe activating more people to fund long-term, effective campaigning is essential. You’re enthusiastic about doing so because you know that asking for and giving money are both powerful acts of social change.
You passionately believe that relationship-based organizing is how we change the world—and you have the experience, relationship-building, and interpersonal communication skills to turn your passion into action. Whether it’s on climate, racial, economic, gender, or other social justice issues, you have experience successfully working across lines of difference in a U.S. context to mobilize and activate diverse groups of people toward a shared goal and vision. You know how to build relationships with trust and integrity, respecting people’s inherent power, agency, and ability to create change. And you are a stellar active listener.
You’re a problem-solver and solutions-oriented. You’re able to come up with a range of creative and innovative solutions when things don’t go quite as planned, especially when it comes to digital fundraising. You know how to analyze the situation, get the information you need, and propose solutions to solve fundraising needs.
You are good with technology and troubleshooting. Most likely you’re the one your grandma/uncle/colleagues/friends call when they’re confused with a new digital platform. And you love to help them figure it out, big or small. You’re patient and a good trainer. Plus, you’re an early adopter and eager to test out and learn new apps and systems whenever you can.
You are willing to travel 3-6 times per year across the Northeast for house parties and member engagement. Our current approach to travel is staff-led, meaning we will continue to center the health and safety of our staff in these decisions.
You have 1-3 years of experience in fundraising, organizing, campaigning, nonprofits or other relevant fields.
What you’ll be responsible for in the day-to-day
Fundraise monthly gifts from new, prospective, and current members. You will use a number of fundraising tactics including peer-to-peer fundraising, in-person events and parties, converting digital-recruited leads to monthly pledgers, and ongoing fundraising phoning.
Innovate monthly giving fundraising tactics with focus towards a growing digital fundraising landscape and increasing our feedback loop from young members and members of the global majority.
Seize opportunities to move members to action and activist leadership that furthers our campaign areas and shows members the impact they are making in the world with us. You’ll be responsible for supporting member cultivation tactics: from new member welcome outreach to activist onboarding, you’ll be there to support members each step of the way.
Coordinate closely with the Senior Membership Manager regarding timing and expected income generated from the monthly giving growth tactics you’re innovatively implementing.
Lead all-staff fundraising teams that are primarily geared toward growing the monthly giving program.
Participate in the member and activist base building working group and bring forward new ideas to make our efforts to expand and cultivate our membership base more racially equitable.
Identify any high dollar leads in our general member base for the major gifts team.
Actively participate in organization-wide planning, fundraising, racial equity work, recruitment, and campaign activities.
Salary and benefits:
Salary range: $60,000 - $63,495 commensurate with experience.
Hours: Corporate Accountability’s full-time staff generally work 32 hours per week, with periods of more intensive work that correspond with the ebb and flow nature of campaigns or projects throughout the year. Our core hours are 10 am - 4 pm on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, with flexibility to determine your remaining hours of the week in coordination with your supervisor and team. Given the nature of fundraising work, rapid response moments, and member house parties, there will be instances where you would need to be available outside of our standard business hours.
Our comprehensive benefit package includes: health insurance (with 90% of the premium for all tiers covered by the organization) and dental coverage (with 100% of the individual premium covered by the organization and the option to add dependents at an additional cost); FSA for transit, health care, and dependent care; and 401(k) with employer match.
Generous time off policies including one month of personal vacation time, one week of an office closure for collective rest, holidays, and unlimited wellness days to prioritize health.

The take-away
Ready to take on some of the most powerful forces in our society? We’re looking for a Public Health Organizer to join a fierce, smart team challenging global corporations, holding them accountable, and creating a world where all people can thrive.
Why you’ll love coming to work every day
You’ll help change the world by being part of fearless and winning campaigns while working alongside a team of passionate, smart, and strategic corporate campaigners. You’ll be joining an organization that’s not satisfied with the world as it is—and has a vision for how it should be. When your quest is ending corporate abuse, you can’t be afraid to name names and demand what the world needs. For more than 40 years, we’ve been exposing and challenging the abuses of the likes of Nestlé, Exxon Mobil, Philip Morris International, McDonald’s, and more. We don’t back down, and we run campaigns until we win.
You can take on big responsibilities as you go. At Corporate Accountability, you’ll be trusted and relied upon to operate at a high level of responsibility. You’ll thrive here as you develop new skills, tackle new challenges, learn, and grow. We pay lots of attention to building staff leadership, and we provide support and training to help you become the best leader you can be.
You’ll be part of an organization committed to advancing racial equity and transforming systems of oppression. We are deeply committed to prioritizing the leadership of people who bear the brunt of corporate abuse: Black and Indigenous people and other people of color, women, low-income people, people in the Global South, and LGBTQ+ folks around the world. Our unique culture has been fostered by a long history of women at the helm. We are actively focusing on the leadership of our staff of color, knowing we are stronger when the organization reflects the vision of the world we’re building together.
What you’ll do
Corporate Accountability’s meticulous campaign development, strategic corporate research, and collaborative organizing with allies, especially from the Global South, are at the core of what keeps our campaigns focused and winning big over the long term. Your role will be to help drive forward two of our campaigns that actively engage with public health issues: our food and tobacco campaigns. Our food campaign focuses on the agribusiness, food, and beverage industries—challenging transnational corporations like Coca-Cola, PepsiCo, and McDonald’s, that for decades have been the key engines behind the breakdown of our food systems and the epidemic of diet-related diseases. Our tobacco campaign challenges the tobacco industry’s commercial interests in undermining the health and wellbeing of people and the planet. Additionally, you will also provide research and organizing support for campaigns such as water, climate, democracy, and our Black Collective initiatives, as needed.
You’ll navigate the ever-changing conditions of a corporate campaigning while keeping a close eye on factual accuracy and conceptual analysis represented in our communications, fundraising, and campaign activities. You’ll research and play a role in campaign development that breaks new ground in our food and other campaigns, and keeps our tactics on track. And you’ll ensure our publications are reflective of our values and fact-checked with the same fine eye for detail. Through it all, you’ll be working hand in hand with a passionate team of researchers and organizers. Your success in this role will ensure that we are implementing the smartest strategies and tactics to confront corporations’ abuse and manipulation of public health holistically.
You’ll draw on — and build — Corporate Accountability’s deep, decades-long relationships with people and institutions around the world. You will help coordinate the alliances between Global South and Global North civil society and other actors from the fields of human rights, public policy, and corporate accountability for knowledge exchange and learning vis-a-vis model policies and campaigns that are effectively challenging corporate control of and interference in public health in general.
Who you are
The rampant abuses of corporations and the outrageous amount of power they have make you mad as hell — and you want to do something about it.
You understand that changing the imbalance of power in the world, its inherent racial and gender injustice, and the oppression people of color experience is central to your work for justice. You have a commitment to advancing racial equity and transforming systems of oppression.

You are fully fluent in English-language reading, writing, and speaking along with strong Spanish language skills, with a minimum of strong reading and writing proficiency and a desirability for speaking fluency as well. What does that mean? You can distill a complex policy paper in a succinct and lucid memo in both languages — and then explain the content to someone who doesn't know much about the topic clearly.
You believe in the power of relationship-based organizing to change the world—and you have some experience mobilizing and activating people on issues you care about. You approach your work from a place of respect for people’s inherent power, agency, and ability to create change.
You are willing to travel four to six times each year to represent Corporate Accountability at conferences, U.N. gatherings, and corporate shareholders’ meetings. Our current approach to travel is staff-led, meaning we will continue to center the health and safety of our staff in these decisions.

What you’ll be responsible for in the day-to-day
Conduct monitoring, research, and analysis on transnational corporate activities, industry trends, and changing political climates to drive forward campaign plans. Synthesize all of this information into clear, compelling written content that could take the form of memos, reports, publications, or internal updates.
Mobilize people across the world to action, specifically in target regions, as a critical step to advancing the goals of our campaign . Play a lead role in outreach and relationship-building with strategic partners, particularly from the Global South, among others, as a key to challenging the food, beverage, and agriculture industry.
Foster and build strong, reciprocal relationships with frontline activists, government officials, experts in the public health space, and organizational allies across the world while supporting campaign development, leading organizing, and collaborating on media and communications work.
Speaking of relationships, you will work closely with our foundations team to build relationships with donors and foundations, discussing some of the most pressing issues facing our society and how our campaigns are addressing them.
Participate in the development of innovative strategies and tactics to challenge the abuses of transnational corporations as it pertains to public health, in close collaboration with the research unit and with other teams in the organization, including organizing virtual events, partnering with allies, helping develop campaign related publications and other resources.
Create campaign action materials and toolkits as necessary under the guidance of the Director of Research and Policy or its delegates. Plan, develop, and design materials and toolkits to assist activists and strategic partners in the implementation of campaign goals across regions and scale.
Coordinate shareholder advocacy work focused on food, beverage, and tobacco corporations among others.
