Public Citizen is a national, non-partisan, public interest group with more than 500,000 members and supporters. We hold the government and corporations accountable with campaigns and advocacy before Congress, administrative agencies, and the courts, on issues including money in politics, open government, financial regulation, energy and the climate crisis, fair trade, consumer protection, access to justice, tax policy, workplace safety, drug and medical device safety, healthcare, and more. We are the reason why there are air bags in cars and there were no red M&Ms for a decade. And much more.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

Public Citizen’s Climate Program is seeking an experienced climate campaigner to help stop insurers, big banks, and other financial institutions from financing the climate crisis. This exciting new role will combine corporate campaigning and grassroots advocacy to influence insurance companies, federal regulators, and other decision-makers. As Public Citizen continues taking on some of the biggest financial supporters of fossil fuels and the regulators who can rein them in, we’re looking for a creative, highly motivated, and committed campaigner to help lead this work.

This campaigner will play a key role in shaping campaign strategies and tactics. The right candidate will be a sharp strategic thinker, creative tactician, and skilled organizer, both digitally and offline. They will have grit and determination and will relish exposing the hypocrisy and greed of bad corporate actors.
