The Public Interest Network
The Public Interest Network is a nationwide network of nonprofit groups, including Environment America, U.S. PIRG, and Fair Share, that is dedicated to bringing people together in the fight for a stronger society, a healthier planet, and a government that works for all Americans, not just corporations. The organizations that make up the Public Interest Network each strive for solutions on their own, while the force of our combined strategies builds pressure for change across the political and economic spectrum. Several of those organizations are headquartered in the Boston office, home to approximately 70 full time staff and two of the Network's citizen outreach offices. These organizations are responsible for numerous successes in Massachusetts and across the country ranging from expanding our use of clean energy such as solar and wind, to saving bee populations to protecting consumers from the overuse of antibiotics, as just a few examples. We are looking for an office manager who can help our office hum, to ensure our effectiveness and enable our success.
