Aloha! Have you heard of Elemental Excelerator? If you’re focused on climate change, you should have this team on your radar.
EE is on a mission to redesign systems at the root of our climate crisis. They’re currently recruiting their 10th cohort (“at a moment where we have roughly 10 years to halt the most damaging impacts of our changing planet”).
To drive awareness of this work and larger mission, EE is scouting a self-starting Public Relations Manager. The ideal candidate has 5-7 years of work experience (3-5 of which is in PR, journalism, or related field). EE will consider candidates located anywhere in the US, however you’ll need to be available during HQ hours (Honolulu or East Palo Alto), and when in-person work resumes, be able to travel to HQ quarterly. Oh the hardship of visiting sunny CA/HI! ;)
What I love
EE was created in collaboration with Emerson Collective, a respected social change organization, and it looks to me like Dawn Lippert, EE founder and CEO, has some serious muscle as a builder and leader.
Also, in 12 years, the team has invested in over 100 growth-stage companies and celebrated more than a dozen exits, funded more than 70 technology projects, and built a platform for scaling equitable, market-driven solutions to climate change. Not too shabby!
And I like the fact that EE is seeking partnership with the most forward-thinking orgs across business, philanthropy, nonprofit, and gov to help its portfolio companies build for the future. Tells me you would learn from multiple perspectives in this role (systems thinking, baby!) and build a strong network with a bit of effort.
Don’t forget…
You can follow this org, read about its team, and follow the team members whose profiles inspire you. This is a great way to build your social impact scenius!
