Join us in building a climate-positive, harmonious, and equitable future.
Work On Climate is a leading US-based non-profit on a mission to mobilize humanity’s talent to build a regenerative green economy.
We are most known for building the world’s largest online community for professionals wishing to use their talent for climate (with 32,000+ members). We have helped over 3,000 people find climate jobs, helped a similar number of founders advance their companies, and became de facto “the” climate community in the US.
However, our ambitions go much farther. We see our community as nurturing the seeds of the Climate Work Movement, which transforms each professional field into a force for regeneration through the collective action of individuals and organizations in the field (rather than simply helping individuals find meaningful career opportunities or filling workforce gaps).
Our work has been highlighted in most major business press, from Fast Company to the New York Times.
We are looking for a part-time Development Manager to help Work On Climate get better at engaging with our donors and managing our fundraising pipeline. This is the right role for someone exceptionally efficient, organized, independent, excellent at communication, and experienced with interacting with donors.
This is a half-time hourly (non-exempt) position at approximately 20 hours per week, paid $33-$43/h (around $35-45k per year) depending on requirement satisfaction, your experience, and location. This position offers sick leave, paid holidays, and 60 hours of PTO accrued per year. Being part-time, this role does not offer medical insurance.
Depending on job performance and the organization’s financial circumstances, this role may offer a path to a full-time role with additional benefits and greater leadership responsibilities.
This is a remote role and we are open to all US-based candidates. We are not able to work with any candidates outside the US or who lack US work authorization. The role may require some minimal travel (up to 1-2 weeks per quarter).
We believe that our mission is best served through the combined strengths of people from a wide variety of backgrounds, and thus we encourage all qualified candidates to apply. We respect the humanity and individual circumstances of all our team members — while our standards for each other are high, we strive for a healthy work-life balance.
