Description
Maryland PIRG is hiring a State DIrector to drive our campaigns to protect consumers, strengthen our democracy, and transition our homes to 100% renewable energy.
Current Priorities:
Clean, efficient 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.
Stop Toxic PFAS: PFAS are a class of chemicals that the Environmental Protection Agency says can cause harmful health effects in humans. These "forever chemicals" have been found in 75% of the water treatment centers tested by the Maryland Department of Environment. To protect our health and water, we’re calling on the Governor to set strong limits for PFAS in our water and clean up contamination.
Democracy: We believe in a democracy in which everyone participates and everyone’s voice is heard, from choosing who represents us in office, to how our government makes decisions on our behalf. In particular, we are running campaigns to get big money out of politics and establish special elections to fill vacancies in the state legislature.
Key Responsibilities
As our state director 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. Representative responsibilities include but are not limited to:
• Program development and strategy: Help develop and implement our priority campaigns, participating in policy development, research and messaging.
• Coalition building: Identify, reach out to and work with partners who can help us win our campaigns both through formal coalitions and informal alliances, including unlikely allies who might agree with us on one issue, even if we disagree on other issues.
• Communications and media outreach: Generate strong earned media, opinion media, and social media for our campaigns. You will serve as a public spokesperson for our campaigns through media events, press releases, editorial board meetings and other outreach, with a goal of building name recognition for the organization, educating the public about our issues and building and demonstrating support for our positions.
• Advocacy: Bring problems and solutions to the attention of decision-makers—including federal district office staff, state legislators, the Governor’s staff, state regulators and local officials. Develop appropriate messages and materials for making the case for our policy solutions to decision makers. Build relationships with key players.
• Research and write reports: If needed, you may help analyze data relevant to the issue and our policy proposals to help influence public debate and earn media attention for our cause.
• Fundraising and grassroots support: Write grant proposals, build relationships with foundation staff and meet with large donors, all to bring more resources to our campaigns. Work with our citizen outreach staff to build and develop our grassroots membership base.
• Recruitment and training: Recruit and train new interns and volunteers to increase our impact and build more power. Participate in recruitment of new staff.
Qualifications
The ideal candidates would have at least 5-12 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.
Benefits
Compensation and Benefits
The starting annual compensation range for this position is $38,000-52,000 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.

Nothing we use for a few minutes should threaten our health and pollute our future for hundreds of years. The PIRG Zero Waste team is seeking a campaign director to lead our zero waste campaigns.
Every day, people throw away tons of plastic “stuff” — cups, plates, bags, containers, and more. All of this waste not only clogs our landfills, trashes our parks, and litters our streets, but it also washes into our rivers and oceans, where it can harm wildlife. Moving beyond plastic is also critical to addressing climate change. The plastic industry emits an enormous amount of greenhouse gas emissions: soon, plastics production may even surpass emissions from coal. It’s time to move beyond single-use plastic, by getting rid of the most harmful waste, and stopping the use of things we truly don’t need.
Key Responsibilities
The Zero Waste Campaign Director will coordinate and work with our state offices across the country to run campaigns that call on our decision makers to lead us toward a zero waste future by passing statewide bans on single-use plastics and policies that hold producers responsible for their plastic pollution. This position requires exercising discretion and independent judgment in making decisions in matters of significance. Responsibilities may include but are not limited to:
• Coalition building: Build support for our campaign goals from key constituencies at the campus, state and national level, including the Break Free From Plastic coalition.
• Advocacy: Take our policies directly to key decision-makers in campus leadership, state legislatures, Governors’ offices, in Congress, in corporate boardrooms, and other forums where we could advocate for moving beyond plastics. Run multiple lobby days for students and staff.
• Media Outreach: Serve as the spokesperson for our campaigns through media events, press releases and opinion writing. Keep abreast of important zero waste issues, raise the profile of zero waste issues and our campaign goals in the media.
• Campaign strategy: Assess opportunities for building political support for our agenda through coalition-building, grassroots organizing, media coverage and message development.
• Program development: Evaluate new research on the issue, create viable policy solutions and propose the right political strategy and messaging.
• Fundraising: Write grant proposals, build relationships with foundation staff and meet with major donors.
• Staff recruitment and development: Build our team by recruiting and managing interns and participating in staff recruitment efforts. Potential to oversee staff.
Qualifications
Candidates must have at least 3 years of relevant professional experience. Qualified candidates will have a demonstrated commitment to citizen-based social change, as well as a track record of leadership. Experience working on waste, environmental or climate campaigns preferred.
We're looking for people who are goal-driven and results-oriented, who have excellent public speaking, writing and analytical skills, the ability to speak persuasively in a charged atmosphere, and the passion and drive it takes to make positive policy changes.
Benefits
Compensation and Benefits:
The target starting compensation for this position is $36,000-$60,000 in the first year and depends on relevant experience, education, and location. 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. 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.

We think tech should be designed to last. Join our Designed to Last campaign as an associate in our New York City office advocating for sustainable and longer-lasting technology. Our campaign pushed Google to make longer-lasting Chromebooks and Microsoft to provide extended support for Windows with coverage in the Wall Street Journal, Time Magazine, and LA Times.
When we buy something, we should expect it to last, but far too often what we buy is disposable. That’s because companies are selling us stuff that doesn’t hold up, can’t be fixed, can’t be upgraded, or relies on updates that stop too quickly.
We’re calling out companies that feed the cycle of disposability by making products that can’t be upgraded or stop software support too soon and passing laws so we can choose products designed to last. Join our effort to end the cycle of buy, use, toss because we deserve better than a world where nothing’s built to last.
Representative Responsibilities
• Build powerful coalitions: Reach out to like-minded organizations and affected constituency groups to demonstrate support for our campaign goals.
• Earn traditional media and social media attention: Organize news conferences and write opinion pieces. Build a following on social media for the campaign.

When a critical vote is happening on your campaign, work to demonstrate the support you’ve been building on the ground to help line up the votes needed to win.
• Research and write reports and web content: Catalog and analyze data relevant to the issue and our policy proposals to help influence public debate and earn media attention for our cause. Write weekly web content following search engine optimization best practices.
• Identify and cultivate donors: Reach out to foundations and major donors and ask them to fund your campaign.
• Recruit new people to your team: Help build your team by recruiting volunteers, interns and full-time staff.
• Run a grassroots campaign office each summer: Run a campaign office for the summer to raise money to support our campaigns, build our organization and membership, and help build critical and timely grassroots support to win key campaigns while honing your organizing and management skills. You may be assigned to a different office location for the summer and should be flexible to move.
Qualifications
We are seeking a Campaign Associate who will spearhead one of our campaigns and work with our experienced team of advocates, researchers, and digital and communications experts.
Entry-level candidates are encouraged to apply; we provide training on advocacy and organizing skills, as well as oversight and on-the-ground training by an experienced advocate. Ideal candidates will have leadership experience, top-notch writing and public speaking skills, an eagerness to learn, and be ready for a challenge. We value organizing experience, including building campus or community groups.

Description
PIRG is hiring an advocate to work on our food and agriculture campaigns to help us reshape our food system into one that produces enough nutritious food for everyone, without threatening our health, the environment, or the ability of future generations to meet their dietary needs.
As an advocate, you’ll push for solutions to the most urgent problems our current food system creates, such as rampant food waste or pollution from factory farms. One way you’ll do this is by identifying and working with farmers who agree with our vision but encounter political, economic, or other obstacles that prevent them from making the changes to their farming practices that they want to. You’ll work with these farmers and other stakeholders to advocate for changes that make our food system work better for people and the planet rather than special interests.
Representative Responsibilities
• Program Development: Help develop programs and campaigns, including researching the issue, identifying viable policy solutions, and proposing smart political strategy and messaging.
• Advocacy: Make the best case for our policies directly to decision-makers. Build relationships with players in regulatory agencies, corporate boardrooms, state houses across the country, or in Congress.
• Campaign Strategy: Develop plans to win on our campaigns, and assess opportunities for building political support through grassroots organizing, media coverage, endorsements and message development.
• Coalition Building: Meet with other groups who are concerned about this issue. Work together in order to maximize our impact.
• Fundraising: Write grant proposals, build relationships with foundation staff, and meet with major donors to fund your campaigns.
• Media Outreach: Serve as the spokesperson for our campaigns through media events, press releases and opinion writing. Keep abreast of important developments, and raise the profile of our efforts in the media.
• Staff Recruitment and Development: Recruit new staff, interns and volunteers and provide training and leadership development opportunities. Potential to oversee campaign associates.
This position requires exercising discretion and independent judgment in making decisions in matters of significance.
Qualifications
Candidates must have at least 3-8 years of relevant professional experience. Qualified candidates will have a demonstrated commitment to public interest, consumer, or environmental issues and to citizen-based social change, as well as a track record of leadership. We’re looking for people who are goal-driven and results-oriented, who have excellent verbal, written and analytical skills, the ability to speak persuasively in a charged atmosphere, and who want to make positive policy change. Organizing and advocacy experience is a must.

CALPIRG is hiring an experienced and passionate advocate to speak out for the public and stand up to special interests on problems that affect the public's health, safety and wellbeing. Work with our team of advocates, researchers, and organizers to campaign for policies that reduce plastic waste, protect the public from toxic chemicals, clean up our air, and more.
Current CALPIRG Priorities
• Beyond Plastic: Nothing we use for a few minutes should harm our environment and communities for hundreds of years. CALPIRG is working to move our state beyond single-use plastics like plastic bags and foam takeout containers that we don’t truly need and produce harmful waste.
• Clean air: We are also moving our state away from dirty energy that harms public health. We’re working to transform our transportation system with electric cars and buses, and help more people choose electric stoves over gas.
• Other campaigns include our work to get the lead out of California’s schools, advocating for stronger consumer protections, and promoting the right to repair our stuff so we can reduce waste and save consumers money.
Representative Responsibilities
The Legislative Advocate will represent CALPIRG and advance our strategy in the California State Capitol and key agencies. This position requires exercising discretion and independent judgment in making decisions in matters of significance. Responsibilities may include but are not limited to:
• Program: Help develop and implement our priority campaigns, participating in policy development, research and messaging.
• Coalition Building: Identify, reach out to and work with partners who can help us win our campaigns both through formal coalitions and informal alliances, including unlikely allies who might agree with us on one issue, even if we disagree on other issues.
• Communications and Media Outreach: Generate strong earned media, opinion media, and social media for our campaigns. You may serve as a public spokesperson for our campaigns through media events, press releases, editorial board meetings and other outreach, with a goal of building name recognition for the organization, educating the public about our issues and building and demonstrating support for our positions.
• Advocacy: Bring problems and solutions to the attention of decision-makers—including federal district office staff, state legislators, the Governor’s staff, state regulators and local officials. Develop appropriate messages and materials for making the case to decision makers; build relationships with key players.
• Research and write reports: If needed, you may help analyze data relevant to the issue and our policy proposals to help influence public debate and earn media attention for our cause.
• Fundraising: Write grant proposals, build relationships with foundation staff and meet with large donors, all to bring more resources to our campaigns. Work with our citizen outreach staff to build and develop our grassroots membership base.
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, citizen-based social change, as well as a track-record of leadership. We’re looking for goal-driven and results-oriented individuals who have excellent verbal, writing and analytical skills, the ability to speak persuasively in a charged atmosphere, and enthusiasm for our work.
Experience in state level political advocacy, grassroots organizing, fundraising is a bonus.
Benefits
Compensation and Benefits
The starting compensation range for this position is $33,400-$42,000 and depends on relevant experience, education, and location. 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. CALPIRG 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.
