Senior Communications Strategist - Coal to Clean Energy

Summary: The Sierra Club seeks an experienced, highly creative communications strategist with extensive media contacts to help the Club's "Coal to Clean Energy" campaign continue its celebrated successes in cutting America's use of coal, the dirtiest fuel source, and replacing it with renewable energy including wind and solar power. Candidates must be brimming with energy and sophisticated ideas for using traditional and cutting edge communications tools to expose the dangers of coal use and benefits of clean energy. A deep grasp of story-telling and an enthusiasm for and nimble adaptability to technological and cultural change is essential. An understanding of grassroots organizing is a necessity. This is a big position with an awesomely serious goal -- saving the world from climate disruption -- so the person who accepts this job and responsibility would be ill-advised to take herself or himself too seriously. A willingness to take chances with edge and humor is encouraged.
