The Associate Director of Global Policy and Campaigns is responsible for leading the development of 350.org’s policy work, ensuring there are clear and agreed policy positions relating to key issues and areas of work, and that campaigns across the organization can be built integrating substantive, credible policy analysis.

Through developing and maintaining a clear process for analysis of climate policy news and the creation of talking points and responses, as well producing regular briefings for the organization on current geopolitical contexts and trends, the Associate Director of Global Policy and Campaigns will ensure that 350.org is attuned to the latest developments in climate diplomacy and that our campaigns and communications are optimized to respond and relate to them.

This role will also lead global campaigns that contribute to 350.org’s strategy, with a focus on the financing of the fossil fuel industry.
