Oil and Gas Corporate Accountability Campaigner
Are you a right and left brain thinker? Fed up with corporate America? Or just someone who takes special delight in speaking truth to power? Do you care about public health, environmental justice, climate change and corporate accountability? Are you sick and tired of the oil and gas industry greenwashing as the climate crisis worsens??
Then this position may be what you’re looking for.
Join Earthworks’ growing team of committed advocates and help facilitate a national and global effort to hold the oil and gas industry publicly accountable for their climate pollution. This job helps shape the national conversation regarding oil and gas methane pollution’s impact on climate change and the risk it poses to decision makers (investors, insurers, and policymakers) who allow these companies to continue operating despite a long history of irresponsibility and deceit. You will work as part of our internal accountability team and coordinate with a multi-group, national campaign calling for more transparency and accountability from the oil and gas industry.
Goals
The world’s most powerful oil and gas companies try to garner public goodwill with bold climate promises while actually slow-walking and in some cases undermining action that would hold them accountable to those promises. Calling out hypocrisy to people with political and financial power over the oil and gas industry is important to achieve public health and climate protections, and strengthen the case for transitioning away from fossil fuels entirely.
