General Description:
The League of Conservation Voters, Inc. (“LCV”), a non-profit organization, builds political power to protect people and the planet. We envision a world in which tackling the climate crisis, confronting environmental injustice, and strengthening our democracy lead to cleaner and healthier communities, good, well-paying jobs, and a more just, equitable, and sustainable planet for all.
For more than 50 years, LCV has fought for solutions to the interconnected threats our environment and democracy face. We do so by working with and holding elected officials accountable, mobilizing, organizing, and building grassroots power in communities, electing candidates who share our values, and partnering with and supporting our 30+ state affiliates across the country.
Through grassroots community organizing, issue campaigns, and civic engagement, LCV’s organizing programs create local wins led by communities of color, contributing to momentum for strong national action on climate change and environmental justice. At the same time, we are growing the infrastructure and leadership in communities that result in families and communities of color having the political clout to stand up to polluters and demand accountability from decision makers who have turned a blind eye to environmental racism and inequities in their communities. This leadership is essential not only at the community-level, but also for ensuring that LCV, our state affiliate partners, and mainstream environmental organizations become more racially diverse, integrate justice and equity into their priorities and analyses, and become more inclusive organizations that better represent and reflect all communities in the U.S.
LCV is hiring a Senior Director of Organizing Programs and Campaigns who will have extensive experience in advocacy, organizing, and campaign strategy, with demonstrated success in developing and managing large-scale advocacy initiatives that center community voice and power.

The Senior Director of Organizing Programs and Campaigns will lead the next chapter of the Chispa program’s work, strengthening its role as a national voice for Latine communities in the fight for climate justice. They will oversee the Chispa program’s strategy, consultants, and partnerships, ensuring alignment between national advocacy goals and state-based organizing.

This role is ideal for a strategic, collaborative, and equity-driven leader with deep program management experience and a proven ability to deliver results through deep, relational organizing, advocacy, community partnerships, and cross-team coordination. The ideal candidate will be comfortable navigating complex coalitions, translating data into strategy, and representing Chispa in national spaces focused on environmental, racial, and social justice.
This position is classified as “ Regular Remote Work ,” which means the position is not assigned to an office and can work remotely full-time.
This job operates in a professional office or home office environment and routinely uses standard office equipment, including, but not limited to, computers, phones, photocopiers, and audiovisual systems. This position is largely sedentary, often standing or sitting for prolonged periods. The person in this position frequently communicates with internal and external stakeholders using electronic platforms. Additionally, this job operates at off-site locations. It requires reliable transportation, a valid driver’s license, and proof of automobile insurance for the location of this position, which will be verified during the hiring process.
Applicants must be located in and legally authorized to work in the United States. Applicants must reside in the location listed above.

Lead Chispa’s policy and advocacy strategy, ensuring the program centers the priorities and voices of Latine communities in advancing climate justice and clean energy solutions aligned with broadening LCV’s base.
