Easily able to read the political climate, you will feel comfortable taking the reins of our existing projects from the core 10% work through to Solar Schools and political campaigns such as Lighter Later, as well as overseeing our international campaigns.

You will understand 10:10’s appeal and have a good sense of which partners we should be working with from regional beer brewers to national media organisations.

For the right candidate this is an exceptional opportunity to build on the work of a young, vibrant and effective organisation ready to change the narrative around climate change.
