Application Deadline: February 6, 2023
Before I tell you about this juicy role, if you’re NOT at the executive level yet, but aspire to be, don’t tune out or hit delete. Consider clicking on the above “apply” button to review this job description to get a sense of the roadmap to this role. The description is well-crafted (I don’t say that often) and will give you insights into the knowledge, skills, and abilities you’ll eventually need and can start building today. Get strategic, young friends. Reverse engineer this. Plan your rise to leadership.
Ok! Climate Nexus is telling the biggest story of our time - climate change and clean energy - and it’s looking for a new Executive Director to lead this effort. Salary is USD$325K – $400K. Nice, right? Location is flexible, but you must be willing to work EST hours and be frequently present in the org’s two major hubs (NY & DC).
The ideal candidate is a decisive strategist and entrepreneurial systems-thinker who is passionate about climate change and understands that winning on climate requires deep engagement with and support for communities of color, who are the hardest and first hit by the climate crisis yet the least resourced across all aspects of work. Yes, yes, and yes! Love it. I also love that part of your work will be helping the org graduate from a fiscally-sponsored project of Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors (yep, that Rockefeller) to a fully independent org. Great experience to have under your belt and on your resume!
Don’t forget to build your network as you job hunt!
