Employment Type: Full Time
Location: Anchorage, AK
Compensation: $31,500 - $32,500 / year
Description
Alaska Environment is hiring a campaign associate to help increase the adoption of renewable energy, clean energy technologies, and energy efficiency in Alaska. Right now, our energy sources are polluting our air and water, warming our climate and oceans, and putting important habitats and wildlife at risk. Adopting renewable energy will help protect everything from our children’s lungs to the fish that fill our freezers and the beautiful landscapes we call home.
The Alaska Environment Associate will work with Alaska Environment’s director and our national program team as well as with our organizers, stakeholders and key coalition allies to build momentum and expand support for Alaska’s clean, renewable energy future. The associate may also have the opportunity to work on other important environmental issues that fall under the Alaska Environment mission.

- Earn traditional media and social media attention: Organize news conferences and write opinion pieces. Build a following on social media platforms for our campaigns.
- Lobby elected officials: Meet with decision makers - from city officials to state legislators - to make the case for our campaign goals. When a critical vote is happening on your campaign, work to demonstrate the support you’ve been building on the ground to help line up the votes needed to win.
- Research and write reports and articles: Catalog and analyze data relevant to the issue and our policy proposals to help influence public debate and earn media attention for our cause.
- Identify and cultivate donors: Reach out to foundations and major donors and ask them to fund our campaigns.
- Recruit new people to your team: Help build your team by recruiting volunteers, interns and full-time staff.
- Run a grassroots campaign office each summer: Run a campaign office for the summer to raise money to support our campaigns, build our organization and membership, and help build critical and timely grassroots support to win key campaigns while honing your organizing and management skills.
