JOB ALERT | Our Climate seeks Operations Associate - $40k to $45k
Background: Our Climate empowers young people to advocate for science-based and equitable climate solutions that build a livable world. Young people are overwhelmingly supportive of climate action and eager to work for an equitable transition to clean energy; over the past year, millions of young people across the world have taken to the streets to demand action from elected officials. Our Climate provides young leaders with the education, tools, and experience to advocate for concrete policy solutions to mitigate the climate crisis and protect our shared future.
Commitment to Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Justice: Our Climate is a historically white-led organization working to mobilize young people around an issue that disproportionately effects non-white communities. We understand that racism is a part of the very institutions we’re a part of and that bias and unintentional harm will be perpetuated if we do not make an explicit effort to incorporate DEI into our organization and throughout our programs. We’re dedicated to climate justice and are committed to prioritizing equity, diversity, and inclusion.
We encourage all applicants to review our DEI Action Plan to better understand our commitment. Additionally, we encourage applicants to review our Organizational Culture Memorandum to better understand how we hold our team members accountable to being the best team we can be.
Overview of position: The primary responsibility of the Operations Associate is to support and oversee our financial and operations systems. This position will support our financial planning, organizational systems, and financial controls. As part of our small, core staff team, we are looking for someone who is excited to learn to manage and execute projects that will achieve long-term operational excellence.
