Work on Climate (WoCl) is a leading non-profit focused on mobilizing humanity’s talent to build a regenerative, climate-positive economy.
You probably know us for our online community — the world’s largest climate career and action community — which has helped thousands of people find climate jobs, start companies, and build impactful networks. We’ve been featured in Fast Company, the New York Times, Wired, and more.
But our work is entering a new chapter.
We are shifting beyond helping individuals find climate jobs. We are now supporting professionals to organize, mobilize, and transform whole sectors and regions toward regenerative futures. A core part of this shift is building a dynamic slate of catalytic community activities that inspire action, strengthen relationships, and surface new organizers and chapter leaders.
Our purpose: design and run whole-community activities that spark inspiration, build relationships, and help members see themselves as change agents.
These activities—events, workshops, stories, experiments, founder support moments, community dialogues—are the connective tissue that powers our new chapter model.
We’re seeking volunteers who want to help shape the future of the Work on Climate community by designing and delivering community activities that support our members’ journey from awareness → inspiration → action.
This role is open because we are reorganizing WoCl’s programs around chapter development and decentralized leadership. The Community Activities Team is the heart of this transition.

As Team Lead, you will:
