Job Classification Level: D
Salary Range (depending on experience): $68,000 - $83,000
General Description:
LCV believes our earth is worth fighting for because everyone has a right to clean air, water, and a safe, healthy community. To ensure those rights are protected, we help people use their power to shape policy, hold politicians and polluters accountable, and influence elections.
Our over 2 million members, our volunteers and staff, and our more than 30 state affiliates (together, the Conservation Voter Movement) work for a more just and equitable democracy, where people—not polluters—determine our future. This movement is an influential national network with unparalleled influence in Washington, DC, in state capitals, and in communities around the country.
In 2014, LCV launched Chispa (“chispa” translates to “spark” in English), a program that relies on community organizing to build the voice and power of Latino families to influence the environmental policies and decisions that affect their lives. Through our programs in five states, our members have taken leadership in the fights to keep rooftop solar affordable and accessible and convert dirty diesel school buses to clean electric fleets, developed Latinx and other people of color policymakers as champions on environmental issues, demonstrated to Spanish-language media that the environment is a priority issue for Latinx families, and built strong relationships with social justice and environmental groups alike.
LCV is hiring for a Chispa National Campaign Manager, a new position in the Chispa program, who will ensure that our issue campaigns and the teams who run them in their communities have the research, tools, and relationships needed to win meaningful policy change. We are looking for someone who combines the curiosity and attention to detail of a researcher, is a strategic thinker who is constantly scheming new opportunities and angles for communities to persuade policymakers, and believes in the power and necessity of everyday families to lead the movement for climate justice.
