Description: 350.org is building a global grassroots movement to solve the climate crisis. Our online campaigns, grassroots organizing, and mass public actions are led from the bottom up by thousands of volunteer organizers in over 188 countries. 350.org works hard to organize in a new way—everywhere at once, using online tools to facilitate strategic offline action. We want to be a laboratory for the best ways to strengthen the climate movement and catalyze transformation around the world.

Responsibilities: The Social Media Manager will:

• Curate and craft timely, engaging social media content for Facebook, Twitter, and other social media platforms;
• Collaborate with 350.org’s global network to lift up and support campaigns around the world through social media and digital storytelling;
• Manage innovative digital projects that tell the story of 350.org’s network and allies in a changing climate, and advance our immediate campaign goals;
• Respond to rapidly unfolding disasters and political developments that shape the debate on climate change globally;
• Update 350.org’s networks on key climate change facts and events in a timely manner;
• Monitor and report on social media metrics and growth;
• Evaluate and implement new social media strategies and platforms.

Qualifications:

• Strong writing skills are a must. This person will be in charge of writing and editing many updates across 350’s global networks daily, and the ability to quickly and flexibly generate strong written content is essential to success;
• Ability to create content for a wide range of audiences. This person will be collaborating with 350.org’s global staff to create compelling content across national, cultural, and sometimes linguistic lines;
• Basic proficiency with Adobe Creative Suite tools (Illustrator, Photoshop) is essential. Much of 350.org’s online communication relies heavily on visual content, and this position will require editing and/or producing images daily;
• A good eye for graphic design is also required, although formal training in this area is not;
• Knowledge of and professional experience with commonly used social media platforms, including Facebook and Twitter;
• A deep scientific knowledge of climate science is not required, but you must trust that it is true, and be willing to learn (some) about its fundamentals. Equally important is an understanding of the contemporary climate movement, in particular its immediate past from 2009 forward.

Desired (but not required) skills and experiences

• Experience managing social media accounts for global progressive audiences;
• Formal training in digital media and/or digital organizing;
• Video editing skills;
