About Climate Jobs National Resource Center
The Climate Jobs National Resource Center (CJNRC) is a labor-led organization that works to combat climate change and reverse extreme inequality.

Collaborate with the CJNRC offshore wind team and state coalitions in tracking state and local offshore wind developments, project approvals, policy issues, and opportunities for regulatory intervention;
Coordinate education and mobilization of rank and file union members in key geographies;
Recruit and train member spokespeople;
Engage with ally organizations in the labor, environmental, environmental justice, and climate justice movements to build broad support for pro-worker offshore wind policies;
Collaborate with CJNRC national staff and state coalition leaders to identify state coalition needs and build state coalition capacity.
Qualifications:
The Offshore Wind Field Campaigner does not need to have prior experience with offshore wind policy or technologies;
A strong commitment to progressive social change, racial justice, and a familiarity with the issues that are central to CJNRC’s work and vision;
At least two years of experience as an organizer or campaigner for unions, political campaigns, advocacy organizations, or grassroots community organizations;
Strong critical thinking skills;
Ability to work effectively in politically-sensitive and high-pressure environments;
Demonstrated commitment to community and/or labor organizing;
Ability to work independently;
Effective time management skills, including prioritizing and managing multiple tasks, with light supervision.
Working conditions: This is a full-time remote position. Long hours will be required on occasion. The position will require frequent travel throughout the United States. CJNRC will follow public health guidance related to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Compensation: The salary range for this position is $75,000-$90,000 . CJNRC offers an excellent benefits package that includes employer-paid medical and dental plans for full-time staff and their qualified dependents, life insurance, a dependent care assistance program, and generous time off.
