Maryland PIRG Climate Solutions Advocate
Baltimore, MD
Maryland PIRG is hiring a Climate Solutions Advocate to help drive our campaign to reduce climate emissions by transitioning off methane gas and powering our homes with 100% renewable energy.
Burning fossil fuels in our homes is bad for the climate, for our health, and increasingly unaffordable for many Marylanders. But for the last decade, Maryland public policy has incentivized gas utilities to dump billions of dollars into soon-to-be obsolete gas infrastructure. Maryland PIRG is working to end those policies, and to support the transition to clean energy buildings.
As our advocate, you’ll work with the national program team at PIRG to advance and build public support for policies that improve the quality of our health, our environment, and our well-being. This position requires exercising discretion and independent judgment in making decisions in matters of significance.
Key Responsibilities:
Qualifications
Candidates should have at least 2 years of relevant professional experience. Qualified candidates will have a demonstrated commitment to advancing the public interest and to transpartisan social change, as well as a track-record of leadership. We’re looking for goal-driven and results-oriented individuals who have excellent writing and analytical skills, the ability to speak persuasively in a charged atmosphere, and enthusiasm for our work.
Compensation and Benefits
The starting annual compensation range for this position is $33,000-40,000 and depends on relevant experience and/or education. Candidates on the lower end of directly relevant experience should expect to be on the lower end of this range; candidates on the higher end of relevant experience are likely to be on the higher end of this range. Maryland PIRG offers an excellent benefits package. Our benefits package includes medical, dental, and vision insurance for employees and dependents, paid time off, our commuter benefit program, a 401(k) plan with employer match, parental leave, long term disability insurance, and may include needs-based student loan assistance. We also offer an excellent training program and opportunities for advancement.

About Maryland PIRG
Maryland PIRG is a part of PIRG and is an advocate for the public interest in Maryland. We speak out for the public and stand up to special interests on problems that affect the public’s health, safety and wellbeing.
How is it possible that, in the richest country the world has ever seen, dissatisfaction is rising and life expectancy is dropping? Is it just inequality? Or could it be that, in the name of producing and consuming more “stuff,” we’ve lost sight, as a society, of what really matters — including health, wellbeing, community, and a clean environment?
PIRG’s mission is to spotlight these problems and find new solutions. Let’s make more stuff reusable, repairable and recyclable, instead of single-use and designed for obsolescence. Let’s choose conservation and renewable energy over fossil fuels. Let’s value clean air and water over short-term profits and lower costs. Let’s grow food that nurtures us as well as the land, with fewer pesticides, antibiotics and other quick fixes.
Getting governments and corporations to make these choices is hard, and steps in the right direction are almost always small. But we have a 50-year track record of training and putting even our newest staff in a position to overcome powerful interests and win real results for the public interest.
