Description

The Pew Charitable Trusts is driven by the power of knowledge to solve
today’s most challenging problems. Pew applies a rigorous, analytical
approach to improve public policy, inform the public and stimulate civic
life.

The mission of The Pew Environment group is to promote policies and
practices that protect the global environment, preserve healthy forests and
marine ecosystems. For the past two decades, the Environment group has been
a major force in driving conservation policy in the United States, and
increasingly internationally. The group’s work is focused on reducing the
scope and severity of three major global environmental problems:
Transition to a clean energy economy from one based primarily on the
burning of fossil fuels;
The erosion of large wilderness ecosystems that contain a great part of the
world’s remaining biodiversity; and,
The destruction of the world’s marine environment, with a particular
emphasis on global fisheries.
Pew’s work on Reforming Industrial Animal Agriculture seeks to move a
broken, unhealthy and unsustainable system of food production toward a new
model that is less damaging to the environment, rural communities, human
health and animal welfare. More specifically, the campaign seeks the
development of more environmentally friendly waste-handling and treatment
systems, and the phase out of the intensive confinement of farm animals.

The Senior Associate is an integral part of the campaign’s team and will
have responsibilities in all areas of campaign coordination and execution
to support senior campaign staff. This position will report to the campaign
director and is based in Washington, D.C.
