How to Apply for Think 100% Campaigns Manager

at Hip Hop Caucus

🏢 About Hip Hop Caucus

Hip Hop Caucus uniquely blends Hip Hop culture with activism to mobilize young people and communities of color around climate justice. Working here means joining a creative, culturally resonant movement that fights for racial and environmental equity, rather than a traditional advocacy organization.

About This Role

As the Think 100% Campaigns Manager, you'll lead strategic campaigns targeting climate and environmental justice, from stopping fossil fuel expansion to ensuring clean air and water for marginalized communities. This role is impactful because you'll translate complex policy into compelling, culturally relevant messaging that drives real-world change.

💡 A Day in the Life

Your day might start with a virtual check-in with coalition partners to align on a fossil fuel campaign, followed by drafting social media content that ties climate justice to Hip Hop culture. Afternoon could involve a strategy meeting with the communications team to refine messaging, and you'll end the day by reviewing research on clean air policies to inform next steps.
