Federal Campaign Coordinator

Overview

Conservation Voters of PA (CVPA) is the statewide political voice for the environment. We elect environmentally responsible candidates to state and local offices, advocate for strong environmental policies, and hold our elected officials accountable to safeguard the health of our communities, the beauty of our state, and the strength of our economy.

Conservation Voters of Pennsylvania is seeking a full-time Federal Campaign Coordinator to oversee and implement campaigns to lobby and hold accountable federal elected officials and coordinate a regional approach to federal environmental advocacy. This person will work with CVPA (approx. 40% of the time), New Jersey LCV (approx. 40% of the time), and New York League of Conservation Voters (approx. 20% of the time) to implement federal campaigns that are responsive to changes in the political lay of the land.

This individual must be able to work independently as well as with dynamic teams at the three state leagues. This position reports to the regional Federal Policy Manager.

DEIJ efforts matter to CVPA because pollution and the impacts of climate change disproportionately impact communities of color. Yet our state constitution establishes clean air, water, and land as a right of ALL Pennsylvanians – not just those with the most power, influence, money, or education. Leaders in frontline communities, which are often communities of color, have been doing climate justice work for decades, and people of color are passionate supporters of environmental policy change.

CVPA can and must learn from and follow these communities, while leveraging our strengths and connections when asked in order to help ensure that those most impacted communities are at and heard at the decision-making table.
