Environment Ohio seeks an experienced organization-builder to coordinate advocacy, field organizing, and media communications for our group. Environment Ohio is a statewide, citizen-based environmental advocacy organization. We stand up to polluting industries, fight for a green future, and do what it takes to win. We believe there's something special about Ohio — something worth protecting and preserving for future generations. Whether it's the majestic waterfalls at Hocking Hills State Park, the beauty of the sand dunes along Lake Erie, or our countless parks and forests, Ohio's natural wonders enrich our lives in countless ways.
The Director would be driving campaigns to bring clean energy to Ohio, to fight global warming pollution, protect Ohio's beautiful state parks, and save Ohio's waterways.

Responsibilities:
Campaign Coordination: Develop and execute plans to win on our environmental campaigns. Assess opportunities for building political support for our agenda through coalition-building, grassroots organizing and media outreach.
