EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY
http://GoodWork.ca/953663

Position: Digital Director
Organization: 350.org
Location: flexible/remote/some preference for European & African timezones

At 350.org, we believe in a safe climate and a better future — a just, prosperous, and equitable world built with the power of ordinary people. Said another way: We’re aiming to make the kind of change the world needs, not what’s been deemed “politically feasible” by governments. We pick unrealistic fights, and then win them.

We’re looking for a driven, creative, flexible, and solutions-oriented Digital Director to manage the organization’s digital department and be a part of 350’s core global decisionmaking for the future.

We’re looking for someone who wants to help build the climate movement’s next-big-thing -- someone who understands climate politics, but is not bound by conventional political thinking; someone who is comfortable analyzing conversion rates, but believes that data should be in service to strategy; someone adept at both managing a narrative arc and structuring a global team for maximum success.

We’re looking for someone who is 100% committed to building a better world as fast as we possibly can, and has the talent and heart to deliver.

Is that you?
