The coalitions we support are organizing to build a clean energy economy at the scale and pace that climate science demands, create and expand access to good union jobs in under-resourced communities, and advance equity.
CJNRC and our network of coalitions are at the leading edge of both workers’ rights and climate action, two defining issues of our time. The coalitions have helped pass the nation’s most ambitious climate policies, won the strongest labor and equity standards for clean energy workers in the country, and built winning campaigns for worker-centered and equity-focused climate investments and good union jobs that will transform the future of the US economy.

Engage with ally organizations in the labor, environmental, environmental justice, and climate justice movements to build broad support for pro-worker offshore wind policies;
Collaborate with CJNRC national staff and state coalition leaders to identify state coalition needs and build state coalition capacity.
Qualifications:
The Offshore Wind Field Campaigner I does not need to have prior experience with offshore wind policy or technologies;
A strong commitment to progressive social change, racial justice, and a familiarity with the issues that are central to CJNRC’s work and vision;
At least two years of experience as an organizer or campaigner for unions, political campaigns, advocacy organizations, or grassroots community organizations;
Strong critical thinking skills;
Ability to work effectively in politically-sensitive and high-pressure environments;
Demonstrated commitment to labor and/or community organizing;
Ability to work independently;
Effective time management skills, including prioritizing and managing multiple tasks, with light supervision.
Working conditions: This is a full-time, remote position, based in the Mid-Atlantic region. Long hours will be required on occasion. The position will require frequent travel throughout the United States . CJNRC will follow public health guidance related to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Compensation: The salary range for this position is $75,000-$85,300 . CJNRC offers an excellent benefits package that includes employer-paid medical and dental plans for full-time staff and their qualified dependents, life insurance, a dependent care assistance program, and generous time off.
