Environment America is hiring a Save the Bees Associate to protect bees and other pollinators, to educate the public about the plight of bees, and to ensure that Americans of all political stripes are engaged in efforts to restrict bee-killing pesticides and to plant bee-friendly habitats.

Bees are essential to the web of life. They are nature’s best pollinators, buzzing from home gardens to wild meadows to the fields that grow America’s food. But bee populations are plummeting. The rusty patched bumblebee has disappeared across nearly 90% of its range. The American bumblebee has disappeared from 8 states. Other wild bees are candidates for the Endangered Species Act.
Key Responsibilities
As the Save the Bees Associate you will work on all this with a focus on winning the hearts and minds of the American public. This position requires excellent judgment, discretion and the ability to oversee significant projects. Responsibilities include:

Work with coalitions: Reach out to a broad range of organizations and affected constituency groups across the political spectrum to build support for our campaigns.

Meet with elected officials: Meet with decision makers – from city council members to corporate CEOs to members of Congress – to make the case for saving the bees.
Recruit new people to your team: Help build your team by recruiting volunteers, interns and full-time staff.
Run a grassroots campaign office each summer: Run a campaign office for the summer, knocking on doors to raise money to support our campaigns, build our organization and membership, and help build critical and timely grassroots support to win key campaigns. Your responsibilities will include meeting your own fundraising goals and managing a team of paid staff. You may be assigned to a different office location for the summer and should be flexible to move.

Qualifications
Entry-level candidates are encouraged to apply. Though we expect you to take a campaign plan and run with it, we provide training and oversight by an experienced advocate. Ideal candidates have a commitment to protecting the environment and a love of nature, as well as leadership experience, top-notch writing and public speaking skills, humility and an eagerness to learn.

Compensation: The target annual compensation for this position is $38,250-$40,250.
