About The Role 

The Manager will provide hands-on support for coalition initiatives, with a core focus on communications and ecosystem building. This includes social media content creation, media outreach, event support, and industry trend monitoring. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys working across multiple areas of communications and is comfortable with campaign execution. This role reports to the Communications Director to support initiatives and campaigns that raise awareness and drive impact for carbon removal. We value nimbleness: we are an agile team that is responsive to the news cycle.
