Executive Director

We fight for a world beyond fossil fuels.

350.org is building a global grassroots movement to solve the
climate crisis. Our online campaigns, grassroots organising, and
mass public actions are led from the bottom up by thousands of
volunteer organisers in over 188 countries. Our strength comes from
community, and the conviction that people are the most powerful
agents of change. Our core belief is that the only way to achieve
real climate justice is to strengthen, empower, and grow the
climate movement. We work with people across the world to oppose
those wrecking our climate and to fight for a sustainable
future. 

Together, we have achieved extraordinary things, mobilising
millions of people worldwide, winning campaigns to move trillions
of dollars away from the fossil fuel industry, and stopping dirty
coal, oil and gas plants and pipelines. As we turn 15, we are
embarking on a new strategic direction. We identified that our
strongest contribution to the climate movement is in the evolution
of our work; leveraging our strength in grassroots organising,
online campaigns, and mass public actions that bring the hyperlocal
to the truly global, to campaign not only against the fossil fuel
industry, but for the community-centred renewable energy solutions
needed to achieve true climate and energy justice; and to do so in
ways that are creative, collaborative, and rooted in care. We unite
around the values elaborated here.  

We take on ambitious fights – and we often win!

350.org is now seeking an outstanding leader to join as its
Executive Director (ED). Reporting to the Board of Directors, the
ED will be responsible for the strategic direction and operational
leadership of 350.org, enabling the organisation to execute its
mission and theory of change, and to be capable of catalysing the
climate solutions that science and justice demand in this decisive
decade. The ED will be a visionary and inclusive leader capable of
driving systemic change at scale and pace, to work with staff,
partners and allies to take the courageous action needed to respond
to the crisis we face, and to engage with a wide range of actors
from grassroots movements to international donors.

The ideal ED will be a proven leader, with an understanding of
leadership in both organisational and movement-building, and a deep
passion for the power of people to create change. They will bring
knowledge and experience across fundraising, programmes, operations
and management, and be able to work with the Executive Team to lead
350.org in full alignment with its values. As the face of 350.org,
the ED will require excellent, and inspirational, communication and
ambassadorial skills to represent 350.org at the highest possible
levels. Crucially, and perhaps most importantly, the ED will
demonstrate an unwavering commitment to environmental justice
whilst upholding 350.org’s values and supporting a workplace that
is grounded in justice, equity, diversity and inclusion.
