Climable is searching for a powerful and dynamic change-maker to lead our team. This role will be instrumental in leading the organization to function as efficiently and effectively as possible, while maintaining a high quality of work and staying true to our end goals of environmental justice and energy democracy.
About Us
Climable is a small woman-run nonprofit with a mission to make climate science and clean energy understandable, actionable, and accessible for everyone. We are proud to be a woman non-profit organization (W/NPO) though the Massachusetts Supplier Diversity Office. Our end goals are energy democracy (public participation in the energy transition) and climate resilience (improved avenues for anticipating, preparing for, and responding to climate disasters). We focus on 1) clean community microgrid development projects (solar and battery storage) in Environmental Justice (EJ) communities, 2) educational programs for students, children, and adults, and 3) stakeholder engagement and community outreach. Since we work with many environmental justice communities, we strive to be active listeners who champion what the community wants and needs, which at times requires challenging the business-as-usual approach.
Position Description
We are a small organization that has experienced incredible growth and change over the past few years. We are looking for a seasoned professional who can help us get the policies and structures in place to create a sustainable and equitable workplace while growing our programs. We are also looking for someone who can navigate the opportunities presented to us so that we can focus on work that is well-suited to our skill set and mission. The new Executive Director will help make key decisions on fundraising strategy, staffing, and major organizational changes; they will also need to be available to advise staff on strategy, project management, and more. This new Executive Director follows the Interim Executive Director, who was hired during a time of major staff transitions.
Climable is a small team with four permanent staff members. Due to the small size of the organization, teammates wear many hats, and you will too. This position is an excellent opportunity to focus on mission-driven work while shaping our fundraising strategy, leading operations and finance work, engaging with the board, and leading the overall strategy and direction of the organization.
Roles and Responsibilities
This is a dynamic role that leads our important work. The Executive Director is expected to lead a variety of tasks including fundraising and development, operations, finance and accounting, board management and engagement, staff management, and overall organizational strategy.
