Work With Us

At the moment, we do not have any open positions available. However, our mission at Work on Climate is ever-evolving, and new opportunities may arise as we continue to grow and expand our impact. If you’re passionate about building the climate workforce and interested in contributing to our work, we’d love to hear from you! While we might not have the right opportunity now, your skills and enthusiasm could be just what we need in the future.

Please reach out to us at support@workonclimate.org to express your interest, share a bit about yourself, and let us know how you’d like to contribute.

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.

Our work is entering a new chapter beyond helping individuals find climate jobs.

We’re now supporting professionals to engage in climate leadership – organizing, mobilizing, and transforming whole sectors and regions toward regenerative futures using the skills they have invested in throughout their careers. (Read more about this transition in latest learning blog!).

About the team

Today, our community activities team is geo-located internationally and meets once weekly on Tuesdays at 10am PT. We are upgrading all our events to truly connect people who can help each other move ideas into action, and to build durable work relationships and collaborations that continue beyond the session.

Role Summary

Event coordinators are responsible for leading about one online event every 4-6 weeks. These might be co-hosted with partner organizations or part of an ongoing Work on Climate program, but they always involve coordinating with external guests, delegating tasks across the volunteer team, and handling the needed technical setup and support.

⏰ Time commitment

• 5 hours/week consistently for the next 6+ months (We’d like a minimum of 6 months, and love it when volunteers stay on longer). Ability to commit to some specific events at specific times.
• Weekly meeting attendance is required (See meeting time above in the “About the team” section)

🎁 What’s in it for me?

In addition to playing a critical role in enabling the climate talent transition, you will get to:

• Work directly with inspiring community members, partner organizations, and guest speakers across the climate space
• Grow practical skills in community building, facilitation, and running engaging group experiences, plus the technical ops that make them run smoothly (event tech setup, tools/workflows, and troubleshooting).
• Build a strong climate network in your area of interest
• Collaborate with top-notch teammates passionate about climate
• Add a strong line to your resume that employers recognize and respect

🛠️ What will I do?

You will collaborate with other WoCl volunteer teams to design and deliver online community activities such as events and workshops. These activities support members in their climate career and leadership journey, while creating the time and space for people to build real relationships and collaborate with other climate professionals. You may do some or all of the following:

• As a Community Activities volunteer, your focus will be on planning and running end-to-end experiences. This includes shaping the topic and format, coordinating speakers or participants, and working with teammates on outreach, audience development, and communications.
• You will also support live delivery, including managing the run-of-show, handling logistics and event tech, troubleshooting issues as they arise, and keeping the experience smooth and welcoming. (Activities typically align with US and European time zones.)
• You should be comfortable facilitating groups, for example moderating discussions, guiding workshops or breakout sessions, managing Q&A, and keeping participants engaged, included, and on track.
• You will support the behind-the-scenes technical and operational work, including setting up registration and comms, managing event tools and links, preparing materials (slides/docs), and handling post-event follow-ups (feedback, notes, recordings, and a simple wrap-up).

✅ What skills and commitment do I need?

You will need to be highly self-motivated and capable of breaking down large tasks into smaller components, prioritizing your work, and identifying when you need help (and asking for it!).

• Strong organization and project management (planning, prioritizing, and follow-through).
• Experience designing and coordinating virtual community activities end-to-end (topic, audience, format, guests/partners).
• Confident logistics + task coordination, including delegating and closing out pre- and post-activity tasks (Asana or similar).
• Technical ops comfort: Zoom setup, registration/comms tools, and post-event follow-up (recordings, notes, feedback).
• Reliable weekly participation and clear communication across different work and communication styles.

🤔 Common Challenges

• Event management involves many moving parts across multiple tools and teammates, so it can take time to keep everything aligned.
• Coordination with guest speakers or partner organizations can create delays or miscommunication that blocks key steps (timing, format, materials, permissions).
• Things change quickly, and you often need to adapt in real time. A guest may cancel, a key detail may shift late, or participants may run into access or tech issues.
• Working across time zones and doing a lot of work asynchronously can make collaboration more challenging, and requires clear expectations around updates and response times.

It’s important work, and we’re looking for a Team Lead on our Impact Research Team to help us do it!

About the team

The Community Cultivation Team is responsible for creating a relational community* for our members—enabling career transitions into climate work, sharing crucial industry knowledge, and fostering the connections that help members find jobs, launch climate ventures, or incorporate sustainability into their current roles.

*In a relational community, as defined in Relationality by David Jay, relationships form when people change one another in ways that persist over time. Unlike transactional environments, relational spaces facilitate deeper connections, creative collaboration, and resilient support networks. Your role will help foster this environment where meaningful change can occur between members.

Our current meeting schedule is weekly on Fridays at 9am PT/12pm ET/6pm CET, with additional asynchronous collaboration throughout the week.

Role summary

We’re seeking community cultivators who can help members feel genuinely at home in the Work on Climate community — not just oriented to the Slack workspace, but connected to the broader climate movement and the professional peers working within it. As WoCl moves from a job-search community toward a field transformation movement, cultivators play a critical role in shaping the culture that makes that shift possible.

During your volunteer term, you’ll steward member interactions, uphold community guidelines, and — more importantly — model the kind of relational, reciprocal behaviour that turns a large online community into a place where people begin to see themselves in a movement.

⏰ Time commitment

This role is highly impactful and rewarding, but we want to be upfront that our most successful volunteers dedicate:

• 5 hours/week consistently and consider this a long-term volunteer position
• Attendance at the required weekly team meetings

💚 Why volunteer with Work on Climate?

Our most impactful volunteers are internally motivated, and contribute to this work because they believe in our mission and see how their work makes a difference. However, if you are choosing between several impactful opportunities, consider that you’ll get to:

• Apply your skills to climate by managing a 30K+ Slack community dedicated to working on climate
• Hone your conflict resolution and communication skills in a professional setting
• Experience supporting a long-term strategic project in community engagement
• Opportunities to pursue new methods of addressing community needs

🛠️ What will I do?

We see our community moderators as cultivators, because your primary job will be to create a nourishing and caring environment. You’ll be a relationship builder, a resource-finder, and community host.

Your work will directly impact our goal of building a community where members develop a genuine sense of belonging — not just to this Slack workspace, but to the broader climate movement and the professional field they’re working to transform. A cultivator’s role is to help members feel that this place is for them, that their presence here matters, and that they are part of something larger than their individual job search or career transition.

Key responsibilities include:

• Acting as a culture carrier: meeting members where they are, modelling relational alternatives to transactional behaviour, and opening pathways to deeper participation without pressure
• Daily review of most active WoCl channels to spot where members need support or redirection in order embody our community culture
• Observing and analysing community behaviour and trends to surface emerging member needs and inform culture cultivation strategy
• Serving as a community connector who helps members find others with complementary interests or skills and implementing strategies to strengthen connections
• Attending to member form responses (violation reports and requests for help)

✅ What skills and commitment do I need?

You will need to be highly self-motivated and capable of breaking down large tasks into smaller components, prioritizing your work, and identifying when you need help (and asking for it!).

You should be meticulous and have a knack for understanding different perspectives. The most effective candidates will have:

• Interest in leading both day-to-day moderation and supporting long-term improvements to the community guidelines and the team’s cultivation policies
• Excellent individual and group communication skills, with the ability to work with people of different work and communication styles
• Superior critical thinking skills to make nuanced judgments about what content is appropriate in specific contexts
• Empathetic communication style that can translate member needs into concrete solutions
• Ability to identify and implement automation opportunities to streamline processes is a plus

🤔 Common Challenges

• Being empathetic, firm, and kind in managing community interactions
• Maintaining consistency between team members’ moderation decisions, even when there isn’t a clear “right” action
• Balancing urgent moderation tasks with long-term community engagement strategies
• Finding the right level of structure requires careful testing and iteration, as too much or too little guidance can both be problematic.

You’ll collaborate across Work on Climate teams to help gather the data we need and/or evaluate the data we have so that we can generate data-driven deliverables for Work on Climate. You will be in charge of uncovering key insights in the data using analytical tools, and helping to communicate those insights to maximize impact for our programs.

This will look like:

• Gathering data using qualitative interviewing and surveying methods.
• Helping craft, administer, and distribute surveys.
• Analyzing quantitative and qualitative data, using statistical and/or coding software (e.g., Hex, Excel).
• Creating basic data visualizations and graphs for communications and reports.
• Drafting insights and takeaways from the data based on your findings and analyses.

• Experience collaborating with team members & project stakeholders, gathering project needs, and communicating findings to diverse audiences.
• Excellent individual and group communication skills, with the ability to work with people of different work and communication styles from around the world.

• Proactive and action-oriented. You think ahead and don’t hesitate to take the first step or roll up your sleeves to make things happen.
• Communicative. You flag risks and communicate them early. Not sure about a dataset? Need help working through a research question? Know you’ll be on vacation next month? Have an exam in a few weeks? No problem. Just let us know!
• Impactful. You think about the big picture and you stay focused on the impact.
• Curious and growth-minded. You have a natural curiosity and a desire to further your skills and knowledge.

🤔 Common Challenges

• At times, research questions or hypotheses will need refinement as the work evolves. As a team, we regularly review and adjust our focus, and you will contribute your perspective to these discussions to help ensure we’re asking questions that meaningfully support our goals.
• There will be moments when existing data doesn’t fully answer the questions we are exploring. In those cases, you will work with the team to improve or shape evaluations, surveys, or data collection approaches so future analyses better support the questions we want to answer.
