How to Apply for Regional Campaign Manager, CA/NV

at Greenlight America

🏢 About Greenlight America

Greenlight America stands out for its grassroots approach to clean energy advocacy, focusing on mobilizing diverse community support rather than just policy lobbying. The company works through partnerships with varied organizations, creating a collaborative ecosystem that drives tangible project outcomes. This makes it an ideal workplace for campaigners who want to see direct community impact from their environmental work.

About This Role

As Regional Campaign Manager for CA/NV, you'll lead grassroots campaigns for specific clean energy projects, developing strategies with partner organizations and managing all tactical execution. This role directly advances clean energy adoption in California or Nevada by building coalitions and training volunteer leaders. You'll have significant autonomy in campaign design while being accountable for budgets, milestones, and partner relationships.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might start with checking in with 2-3 partner organizations about campaign progress, then developing advocacy materials for an upcoming community meeting. Afternoon could involve analyzing campaign metrics, adjusting timelines based on new developments, and preparing budget updates for a grant agreement. You'll likely end the day planning next steps for volunteer training or coordinating with consultants on specialized campaign components.
