We are hiring an Oregon director

It has been an absolute privilege to lead Climate Solutions’ Oregon policy team these past seven years. In that time, climate advocates in our state have accomplished a lot: the state committed to getting 100% of its electricity from renewable, non-polluting sources by 2040, doubled the Clean Fuels Standard, launched the Climate Protection Program, and made equitable electrification and climate resilience a priority investment in the state budget, to name a few. That said, the climate can’t wait, and we have even more work ahead.

I’m transitioning to a new role within Climate Solutions as the Director of Policy and Strategy. I will continue to work with our incredible Oregon team while expanding my focus to address broader opportunities to cut pollution and advocate for climate solutions throughout the Northwest region.

We are hiring a new Oregon Director to lead our state work in partnership with the most brilliant and delightful team of advocates you’ve ever met. Please help spread the word about this exciting opportunity and consider coming to work with us!
