Job Description:
Are you an experienced digital producer tired of your talents going to waste on soul-sucking commercial content? Do you lay awake at night riddled with climate anxiety and wish there was something you could do?
Climate Ad Project is looking to hire our first full time staff member. The role would be a combination of a digital media producer — coordinating production of ads, news and educational videos, and helping us launch a regular online show around climate — along with some (basic) organizational admin tasks. Bear in mind, you’d be the first employee so there’s a lot of flexibility and adaptability to the role as we scale up. We need someone who can help us create content that drives the necessary climate action we need to spur momentum and avoid the worst outcomes of global warming.
