Opportunity

Stand.earth is hiring a temporary climate finance campaigner to join our team, to coordinate our work challenging Canadian banks to stop financing the climate crisis. We are working with a network of allied organizations to force our banks to phase down funding of coal, oil and gas companies that violate Indigenous rights and to step up investments in just and equitable climate solutions including renewables. If you love challenging corporate power and up for a battle in the halls of power and money, then read on! This is a 6 month contract with the possibility of extension into a full-time permanent position.

Reporting to the Climate Finance Director, the Climate Finance Campaigner will work closely with the Director and other team members to advance our climate finance campaign strategy in Canada, focused on Canadian banks. This position will implement campaign strategy, communicate through traditional and digital channels with key audiences, coordinate with allies and partners and play a central role in movement building with frontline community organizations. The Climate Finance Campaigner will also work closely with our communication and digital teams, and must have a strong interest and commitment to Stand.earth's values including our work to decolonize and further our Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion programme and organizational goals.

Stand.earth is a safe and inclusive workplace for people of all backgrounds and walks of life. We strongly encourage you to apply if you are from a marginalized or underrepresented identity particularly in the Climate Finance movement. Some candidates may see a long list of job requirements and feel discouraged because they don't match every single bullet point - we suggest, please apply anyway. If you believe this is a role you will be excited to work in everyday and you want to be a part of a culture like ours and will be excited about personal and professional growth, please apply.

BIPOC staff are available for conversations on team culture and experiences working on this team.
