Campaign Manager

Job description:Work to save the bees in our citizen outreach and field manager positions. 
In our Minneapolis office, we are working to save the bees. Currently, almost a quarter of bumblebee species are at risk of going extinct, including the American bumblebee. A big reason for this is a class of pesticides called neonics. Currently, chemical companies are working to keep these poisons in use, despite their known risks to essential pollinators. That’s why we’re working to convince Minnesota decision-makers to save the bees by restricting the use of the worst pesticides.

Benefits:

• Medical, dental and vision insurance for employees and dependents
• Commuter benefit program
• 401(k) with employer match
• Paid time off
• Excellent training program
• Opportunities for advancement

*Eligibility for benefits depends on your position, location, duration of employment, and other factors.
