Description
About Evergreen Action
Evergreen Action (Evergreen) is leading the fight to put bold climate action at the top of America's agenda. We’re building the ambitious, actionable policy roadmap for an all-out mobilization to defeat climate change—and to create millions of jobs in a thriving, just, and inclusive clean energy future.
Today, Evergreen combines movement partnerships with direct advocacy to deliver the greatest positive impact, as fast as possible. They mix bold policy products with campaign-style communications and shrewd advocacy tactics. And it’s working.
Since Evergreen was founded, they have successfully influenced the U.S. climate policy landscape. They played a pivotal role in the passage and implementation of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), helped set critical federal standards on pollution, and aided in critical state wins like Michigan’s 2023 100% clean energy standard. Now, under the Trump administration, they are helping states both achieve bold climate progress and defend against attacks on progress, building momentum toward a cross-state climate affordability agenda and renewed climate leadership.
The Opportunity
Evergreen Action is seeking a National Press Secretary to lead communications and media outreach in support of the organization’s federal and cross-state climate priorities.
The National Press Secretary will play a central role in connecting Evergreen’s policy work with the national press cycle. They will engage regularly with national climate reporters, pitch and place stories, draft press materials, and respond quickly to breaking news or emerging political developments.
Requirements
Ideal Candidate
The ideal candidate is a sharp, politically savvy communications professional who thrives in fast-moving, campaign-style environments and understands how national media coverage can influence policy and political outcomes.
They bring a strong campaign mindset and instinctively think in terms of goals, audiences, timing, and tactics. They understand how earned media advances advocacy objectives and know how to identify opportunities that elevate policy conversations and influence decision-makers.
