Organization Overview
GreenLight Fund is a national nonprofit that partners with communities to create opportunities for individuals and families to move out of poverty by matching needs with proven programs that drive results.
Deeply connected to local communities, we facilitate game-changing collaboration, break down barriers and build momentum so individuals and communities move forward, especially those historically impacted by systemic racial and economic inequities.
Each year, in each GreenLight site, we focus on identifying one, critical, unmet community need, and begin to take specific action against that to make real change. We identify and assess programs with successful track records of meeting a similar need elsewhere, and partner with the community to invite in and launch a program with the best local fit. GreenLight makes multi-year, catalytic investments in our portfolio organizations, galvanizes a community of support and facilitates ongoing collaboration to ensure impact. Our impact increases exponentially as we build a growing portfolio of best-in-class organizations making measurable progress each year–all across the GreenLight network.
Since its founding in 2004, GreenLight has become a national network of 11 sites and growing, successfully running the selection process and investing in and launching 39 proven programs thus far. GreenLight sites include Atlanta, Baltimore, Boston, Charlotte, Cincinnati, Detroit, Kansas City, Greater Newark, Philadelphia, San Francisco Bay Area, and the Twin Cities. GreenLight expects to expand to two additional sites between now and 2024. To learn more about the GreenLight Fund, please visit www.greenlightfund.org .

Organization Overview
GreenLight Fund is a national nonprofit that partners with communities to create opportunities for individuals and families to move out of poverty by matching needs with proven programs that drive results.
Deeply connected to local communities, we facilitate game-changing collaboration, break down barriers and build momentum so individuals and communities move forward, especially those historically impacted by systemic racial and economic inequities.
Each year, in each GreenLight site, we focus on identifying one, critical, unmet community need, and begin to take specific action against that to make real change. We identify and assess programs with successful track records of meeting a similar need elsewhere, and partner with the community to invite in and launch a program with the best local fit. GreenLight makes multi-year, catalytic investments in our portfolio organizations, galvanizes a community of support and facilitates ongoing collaboration to ensure impact. Our impact increases exponentially as we build a growing portfolio of best-in-class organizations making measurable progress each year–all across the GreenLight network.
Since its founding in 2004, GreenLight has become a national network of 11 sites and growing, successfully running the selection process and investing in and launching 39 proven programs thus far. GreenLight sites include Atlanta, Baltimore, Boston, Charlotte, Cincinnati, Detroit, Kansas City, Greater Newark, Philadelphia, San Francisco Bay Area, and the Twin Cities.

Organizing Manager
Climate & Energy Program
Union of Concerned Scientists
Cambridge, MA or Washington, DC or remote
The Position
The Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS) is an independent national nonprofit that uses science to protect our health, safety, and environment. We are scientists, engineers, economists, activists and everyday people who develop and advocate for innovative, practical solutions to some of our planet’s most pressing problems—from combating global warming and developing sustainable ways to feed, power, and transport ourselves, to fighting misinformation, advancing racial equity, and reducing the threat of nuclear war.
The worsening effects of climate change and persistent systemic racism make it clear: we need intersectional climate action now. But the fossil fuel industry and its money stand in the way of the progress we’re trying to make. The Climate Accountability team at the Union of Concerned Scientists works to remove Big Oil as a barrier to the just and equitable climate and energy policies we need, and the Science Hub for Climate Litigation builds greater capacity within the scientific community to conduct and communicate legally relevant research.
We’re challenging some of the most powerful and well-resourced corporations in the world, and we’re looking for an Organizing Manager to join our team.
As the Organizing Manager, you will design and implement outreach strategies and tactics; engage a network of scientists, experts, and more than half a million supporters and activists to advance our work; cultivate and maintain strategic partnerships; increase visibility of UCS research, analysis, and public-facing messages through social and traditional media channels; and supervise outreach staff.

Ensure transparent and equitable systems and processes for information-sharing, input-gathering, and tracking progress
Design and implement trainings for scientists—especially those from diverse and historically under-represented communities
Encourage and support the development of a community of practice among scientists doing research relevant to strategic climate litigation and fossil fuel company accountability
Represent UCS in coalitions working on similar issues, maintain existing relationships, and cultivate new relationships that will help UCS partner more effectively on issues of environmental justice and climate litigation
Work with your teammates and UCS communications staff to develop traditional and social media strategies, messages, and content for the campaign and the Science Hub for Climate Litigation.
Identify and facilitate strategic and timely response to emerging campaign opportunities; recommend and implement adjustments to campaign targeting and tactics based on changes in the movement landscape
Support organizational learning on issues of justice, equity, inclusion, and diversity
Stay informed about issues related to our work
Qualifications and Experience
Position requires:
At least 7 years of comparable and relevant experience, including at least 2 years of management experience;
Demonstrated ability and experience leading campaigns, organizing experts, designing and implementing trainings and events, building and maintaining partner relationships, and engaging supporters;
Strong project management and time management skills;
Strong skills in writing and presenting for diverse audiences; ability to manage a high volume of email communication with speed, accuracy, and professionalism; and experience with social and/or traditional media;
Strong interpersonal skills;
The ability to work both independently and in teams in a fast-paced environment while managing multiple tasks, projects, and deadlines;
Ability to advance values related to racial equity and inclusion;
Willingness to learn about our issues.
Preferred qualifications include:
Familiarity with a diverse range of allies and potential allies in climate justice, racial equity, environmental justice, corporate accountability campaigning, and/or shareholder activism;
Understanding of climate and energy issues, public interest advocacy campaigns, corporate campaigns, and opposition pushback work;
Experience building communities of practice.
Little or no exertion; may require extended periods at a computer. May occasionally lift and carry boxes of supplies or publications.
When not in a pandemic, position may require occasional overnight travel.
UCS is an equal opportunity employer actively seeking to diversify its staff. In particular, we’re dedicated to broadening opportunities for individuals from demographic groups that are historically underrepresented in the sciences and in environmental advocacy. We’re also committed to building an inclusive workplace culture where talented people of widely diverse backgrounds can thrive. We believe the inclusion of culturally diverse perspectives will improve our work and produce better societal and environmental outcomes for all, including historically disenfranchised communities.

The new Chief Justice and Equity Officer will become a focal point for knowledge-sharing and momentum, and will help coordinate, unify, and enhance UCS’s internal and external equity and justice commitments. The Chief Justice and Equity Officer, partnering with other staff throughout the organization, will help define and implement measurable indicators for the Chief Justice and Equity Officer/Environmental Justice (EJ) progress and embed these within organizational strategic plans, performance management and competency systems, and programming.
Responsibilities
The Chief Justice and Equity Officer will launch and lead the Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (JEDI) office.
The CJEO will report to the President and serve as a member of the Executive and Leadership teams, and as JEDI liaison to the Board. The CJEO will foster JEDI understanding, commitment, and transformation. The CJEO and JEDI office will help UCS adopt a new paradigm, in which science, advocacy, and anti-racism are integrated throughout UCS culture, campaigns, and partnerships.
The CJEO will establish the Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (JEDI) office as a valued center for learning and for evolving best practices and transformative change in systems, processes, and behaviors. The office will partner with the BIPOC, Black Caucus, White Ally & Accountability Groups, and other JEDI-engaged groups, leaders, staff, and Board members across the organization. The JEDI office will be a hub of expertise and knowledge exchange, coordination, and momentum. The office will model and impart clear expectations, accountability, and transparency.
CJEO will foster shared definitions, visions, plans, and results. The CJEO will guide refinement and finalization of the draft Racial Equity Plan, and will develop and implement UCS JEDI strategies and norms. The CJEO will help clarify shared aspirations and expectations, and will foster deeper JEDI understanding and commitment across the organization.
The CJEO will help UCS infuse strong JEDI practices into important systems and processes including, but not limited to, performance management, program milestones, monitoring, and evaluation. The CJEO will foster a culture of innovation and learning in which bold initiatives are piloted, rolled out, evaluated, and evolved to accomplish ongoing progress and transparency. The CJEO will help achieve JEDI results that are measurable, perceived, and experienced internally across the organization and externally, eventually across all UCS programmatic work.
The CJEO will be an authentic, trustworthy expert able to help UCS navigate conflict to achieve breakthroughs and meaningful transformation. The CJEO will engage, listen to, and elevate people and ideas across UCS. The CJEO will be a sought-after partner, mentor, and advisor, and an accessible, frontline source of ideas and information for staff, senior leaders, and the Board.
While the CJEO’s primary focus is internal transformation, as head of the JEDI office the CJEO will support the Director in advancing equity and EJ efforts in UCS’s external partnerships. The CJEO will help deepen UCS’s ability to bring an anti-racist lens to existing or proposed legislation, policies, communications, and relationships and partnerships with public and private entities, donors and funders, the Science Network, and other stakeholders.
The CJEO and JEDI office will help UCS develop an aspired future, in which JEDI principles are understood, centered, and authentically lived. The CJEO will help UCS become more inclusive across all differences, including race, ethnicity, abilities, generations, genders, sexual orientations, socioeconomic and regional backgrounds—a place where each individual feel “I belong here.”
Personal Assets and Abilities:

Intern
American Oversight is looking for a talented, versatile summer research intern to join our team and help us shine a light on government misconduct and threats to democracy. We’re a nonpartisan, nonprofit watchdog that uses targeted public records requests and litigation to uncover evidence of corruption, abuse of power, or conflicts of interest.
We leverage our open records expertise to act where corruption and government power overlap. From the federal Freedom of Information Act to state transparency laws, we use carefully crafted records requests to extract information from the government. When the government fails to respond as required by law, our team has the expertise to take them to court and enforce the public’s right to hold our leaders accountable. American Oversight has obtained and published more than one million pages of emails, memos, calendars, text messages, and other records — ensuring accountability, exposing misconduct, and often driving significant corrective action, at all levels of government.
American Oversight is hiring a research intern to support our investigative work through collaborative project support and independent research and writing, to help us hold federal and state governments accountable.
JOB RESPONSIBILITIES
Specific tasks will shift day by day with our work, but in a typical week, you will:
Draft records requests: Research and draft public records requests (approximately 1 - 2 per week) to federal and state agencies to support American Oversight's accountability work.
Review records: Review documents received in response to records requests and compile noteworthy items and ideas for follow-up research as needed.
Synthesize documents: Create reports, timelines, blog posts, and other briefs in issue areas of importance. For example, compiling a timeline of attacks on voting rights in Wisconsin in 2019 or a report on treatment of immigrants in detention centers based on our documents.
Media monitoring: Stay informed on the relevant activities of the federal government and state governments and identify areas where AO could use public records requests to hold officials accountable.
Partnerships: Participate in the exchange of research insights on partner and coalition calls.
Research support: Support the research team by lending a hand with research projects large and small.
QUALIFICATIONS
Strong research, writing, and oral communication skills
Commitment to accuracy and honesty in all aspects of our work
Excellent organizational skills and attention to detail
Interest and engagement in political news and the workings of the federal and state governments
Comfort handling multiple projects in a fast-paced environment
Positive attitude and willingness to take initiative
Willingness to ask for guidance or support when needed
Ability to synthesize information from multiple sources

The CJEO will report to the President and serve as a member of the Executive and Leadership teams, and as JEDI liaison to the Board.

The CJEO will be a sought-after partner, mentor, and advisor, and an accessible, frontline source of ideas and information for staff, senior leaders, and the Board.

The CJEO will help deepen UCS’s ability to bring an anti-racist lens to existing or proposed legislation, policies, communications, and relationships and partnerships with public and private entities, donors and funders, the Science Network, and other stakeholders.

UCS is accepting applications for a Senior Campaign Coordinator to join our Climate and Energy team. In this role, you will work with a team that focuses on modernizing the U.S. electric grid without leaving anyone behind and facilitating a transition to renewable energy, away from burning fossil fuels that disproportionately affect the health and well-being of low-income communities and communities of color.

As Senior Campaign Coordinator, you would help further these efforts.
The ideal candidate will have experience in advocacy and working in partnership with communities, and an interest in working on climate justice and energy issues. You will also help support locally-focused UCS work in Midwestern states.
Responsibilities
Working with Midwest and government affairs teams, develop and implement outreach and advocacy plans to advance equitable state and federal legislative and regulatory campaign initiatives, with particular focus on the Midwest
Assess and pursue opportunities to make progress on federal and state policies, helping to ensure alignment between the two
Meaningfully engage UCS supporters, experts, and decision-makers to advance campaign strategies and goals through online and offline advocacy, especially with diverse and historically underrepresented constituencies
Contribute to federal, regional, and state agency advocacy efforts, including assessing political and coalition partner dynamics
Create and coordinate comments, letters, and testimony for legislative and regulatory proceedings
Build relationships and coordinate campaign work with allies in key regions, including environmental justice and community organizations

Qualifications and Experience
The position requires five years of comparable and relevant experience, including at least 3 years of organizing and advocacy experience
Experience planning and implementing effective advocacy campaigns and strong project management experience
Ability to work with coalition partners, especially organizations representing working-class, Latinx/Hispanic, Black, Indigenous, and immigrant communities
Ability to communicate effectively with professionals who may be experts and/or prominent in their fields
Capacity to work independently, balance multiple priorities and collaborate as a member of a multidisciplinary team
Prioritizes diversity, equity, and inclusion
Preferred:
Background in climate change and energy issues
Some knowledge of the landscape around these issues in the Midwest
Experience with or interest in regulatory processes
Experience with or interest in learning about the application of science to public policy, especially on energy issues
Little or no exertion is required. May spend extended periods at a computer. May require occasional travel, approximately once per quarter.
UCS is an equal opportunity employer actively seeking to diversify its staff. In particular, we’re dedicated to broadening opportunities for individuals from demographic groups that are historically underrepresented in the sciences and in environmental advocacy. We’re also committed to building an inclusive workplace culture where talented people of widely diverse backgrounds can thrive. We believe the inclusion of culturally diverse perspectives will improve our work and produce better societal and environmental outcomes for all, including historically disenfranchised communities.
Details:
This is a position that can be done remotely, or with UCS Chicago or Washington, DC, offices as a home base (though as of this posting, all UCS staff work from home). Because there may be in-person work required for this position in Midwestern states eventually, applicants located outside the Midwest should have availability to travel. For those who meet all position requirements, the salary is around $59,000. UCS offers excellent benefits and a rewarding work environment.

IHME has an outstanding opportunity for a Data Analyst on our Surge Team, supporting the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors enterprise (GBD). A systematic, scientific effort to quantify the comparative magnitude of health loss due to diseases, injuries, and risk factors by age, sex, and geography over time, the GBD is the largest and most comprehensive effort to date to measure epidemiological levels and trends worldwide. The GBD’s aim is to provide policymakers, donors, and researchers with the highest-quality quantitative evidence base to make decisions that achieve better health. The Surge Team supports research teams through temporary assignments to help meet deadlines, manage unexpected challenges or changes in scope, and fill in where staffing has fallen short. The main purpose of the Data Analyst position is to provide support to key research projects through database management, data quality management, computational support to multidisciplinary research projects, data extraction and formatting, and providing key inputs for papers and presentations. Data Analysts must develop an understanding of different research needs and analytic functions across multiple projects to best meet research needs. Data Analysts must be able to independently translate requests into actionable results through interactions with research databases, formulation of displays of results, and development of complex code to be applied to a variety of quantitative data. This position calls for dexterity working with complex databases and the ability to assess, transform, and utilize quantitative data using multiple coding languages (R, Python, SQL, Stata). The individual must then quality control results to ensure that other team members have exactly what they need to incorporate the data and results into their own components of the analytic process, presentations, and papers. Additionally, this position will work alongside other Data Analysts on complementary projects and will require knowledge and skill sharing and collective problem solving. Overall, the Data Analyst will be a critical member of an agile, dynamic team. This position is contingent on project funding availability.

American Oversight is looking for a curious, diligent researcher to join our team and help us shine a light on government misconduct and threats to democracy. We’re a nonpartisan, nonprofit watchdog that uses targeted public records requests and litigation to uncover evidence of corruption, abuse of power, or conflicts of interest.
From the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol to the multiplying threats to voting rights, American Oversight is working to expose the partisan and anti-democratic motivations behind many of the efforts to suppress the vote and sow doubt about election integrity. We’re continuing to seek accountability for the abuses of the Trump administration, including its authoritarian response to 2020 racial justice protests and its handling of the coronavirus pandemic.
The researcher will help American Oversight investigate those and other important issues. American Oversight’s researchers are avid consumers of the news with an eye to designing high-impact investigations, writing requests to extract salient public records, and reviewing documents in order to shed light on official misconduct, threats to democracy, and abuses of power at all levels of government.
Job Responsibilities
Specific tasks will shift day by day with our work and the news cycle, but in a typical week, you will:
Closely follow the news – including mainstream outlets, industry newsletters, and other sources - to identify investigations opportunities and develop strategies to shed light on government misconduct using public records requests.
Work with American Oversight’s legal team to conceptualize and draft targeted, strategic, litigation-ready public records requests on important issues to federal, state and local agencies and officials.
Analyze documents that we receive from public records requests to identify unreported details, trends, and stories, with an eye for accuracy, newsworthiness, and impact.
Help amplify the impact of American Oversight’s investigations by briefing outside groups and journalists on our work, working with the communications team to write blog posts and reports, and building relationships with allied organizations.
Qualifications
Researchers have come to American Oversight with a variety of past work experiences, including government service, journalism, campaign research, law, policy analysis, and government oversight. However, we welcome candidates from any professional background who display the skills needed to be a successful researcher.
One to three years’ related work or internship experience.
Strong understanding and intuition of what makes a given news story or research avenue important and relevant, and how it connects to American Oversight's mission.
Critical thinking and analytic skills, including an ability to distill large quantities of information to identify key details and themes, and how they related to gaps in existing public knowledge.
Excellent written communication skills, including attention to detail, concision, clarity and ability to produce high-quality written work product under pressure. Ability to explain complicated topics in an easy-to-understand manner.
Creative, strategic thinking about how to maximize the impact of AO's investigations.
Strong time management skills. Can juggle multiple projects at once while maintaining good judgment of relative priorities.
Balances self-motivation, collegiality, and the ability to work both collaboratively and independently.
Familiarity with and interest in how government actions impact the lives of ordinary people.
Additional Information
American Oversight is proudly an equal opportunity employer and is committed to building a diverse team. Studies have shown that women and people of color are less likely to apply for jobs unless they believe they have every one of the qualifications listed. We are dedicated to finding the best candidate for the job. Our hiring process is centered on assessing candidates with diverse lived experiences. We would encourage you to apply, even if you don’t believe you meet every one of our qualifications described. If you are unsure of whether you meet the qualifications of this position, or how this would be determined, please contact us to discuss your application.
