Save the Bay is seeking a Political Organizer to conduct outreach, develop relationships, and manage strategic collaborations to advance Save The Bay’s climate resilience priorities. This position will work locally and regionally to accelerate efforts to protect the Bay Area from flooding, sea level rise, and other climate impacts; promote nature-based climate adaptation through restoration of Bay wetlands and implementation of green stormwater infrastructure in our cities; and reduce Bay pollution. To build Bay Smart Communities, we promote equitable transit, housing, and access to the Bay, recognizing the disproportionate impact of climate change on the health and safety of historically marginalized and under-invested communities.
The Political Organizer works to secure the support and partnership of elected officials, agencies, community groups, and partner organizations for policies and programs that protect the Bay and build equitable climate resilience in the Bay Area. The Organizer also works closely with our Communications staff to plan and execute digital organizing strategies and advance the organization’s outreach priorities.
We seek a motivated and detail-oriented person with a strong equity lens who will work both strategically and collaboratively with a wide range of people within the organization and externally and be an effective public representative for the organization. This position includes some evening and weekend responsibilities, and travel within the Bay Area. This position reports to the Policy Manager.
