🏢 About Earthjustice Headquarters

Earthjustice is the nation's leading environmental law organization, using the power of law and partnership to protect health, wildlife, and the planet. Working here means joining a passionate, inclusive team where your digital advocacy skills directly fuel high-impact legal and legislative victories. It's a rare chance to combine mission-driven work with top-tier advocacy strategy.

About This Role

As Digital Advocacy Manager, you'll own multi-channel campaigns across email, mobile, paid media, social, and web to turn supporters into activists. You'll collaborate with lawyers, lobbyists, and communicators to drive action on climate, healthy communities, and wildlife. Your work will directly pressure decision-makers and amplify Earthjustice's legal wins.

💡 A Day in the Life

You'll start by checking email performance and adjusting a campaign to boost action rates, then meet with legal and lobbying staff to align on messaging for an upcoming court decision. Later, you'll draft HTML for a mobile alert, coordinate with paid media on ad targeting, and analyze data to report on supporter engagement. Every day is a mix of strategy, execution, and collaboration—all in service of protecting the planet.

🎯 Who Earthjustice Headquarters Is Looking For

  • 3–5 years managing digital advocacy campaigns, with hands-on experience in email, mobile, and paid media tools (e.g., EveryAction, Mobile Commons, Facebook Ads).
  • Comfortable with HTML for email and landing pages, and able to quickly learn new advocacy platforms.
  • Proven ability to collaborate with legal, lobbying, and communications staff to translate complex issues into compelling calls to action.
  • Experience with 501(c)(4) organizations or political advocacy is a strong plus, as is a passion for environmental justice.

📝 Tips for Applying to Earthjustice Headquarters

1

Highlight specific digital campaigns you've run that drove measurable actions (e.g., petition signatures, calls, donations). Include metrics like open rates, click-through rates, or conversion rates.

2

Show familiarity with Earthjustice's key issue areas—climate, healthy communities, lands/wildlife—by referencing recent cases or campaigns in your cover letter.

Emphasize collaborative work: give examples of partnering with legal or policy teams to align digital strategy with advocacy goals.
