About Stand.earth

Stand.earth is a nonprofit environmental organization working to create a world where respect for people and the environment comes first. Our campaigns challenge destructive corporate and governmental practices, demand accountability, and create solutions that support all of us — and the environment and climate upon which we depend. Stand’s strategic approach and fierce determination have yielded extraordinary results: Since 2000, we’ve secured agreements to protect 65 million acres of wilderness, shifted billions of dollars of corporate purchasing toward responsible options, and transformed the environmental practices of more than 100 major U.S. corporations. Stand.earth operates in the United States and Canada.

Stand recognizes and respects the sovereignty of First Nations and tribes, as well as the rights of Indigenous Peoples and frontline communities. These communities are often first and most directly impacted by environmental pollution and climate change, and they provide critical leadership in developing solutions.

Pollution, climate change, and corporations’ bad behavior disproportionately hurts the most marginalized people in society — including people of color, people from working class backgrounds, people with disabilities, women and LGBTQ+ people. To develop transformative solutions, these communities must be centered in the work we do. Hence, we strongly encourage applications from people with these identities or who are members of other historically marginalized communities. If you require assistance applying to this opportunity, please contact equalopportunity@stand.earth.

The Position

The Digital Campaigner will join Stand’s growing digital team and contribute to developing engaging and effective digital tactics. The position’s focus will primarily be on supporting Stand’s Climate Finance campaign, but will intersect with other digital initiatives across the organization. Reporting to the Digital Innovation Director, this is a full-time, exempt position. The starting salary range for this position is $50,000 to $60,000 USD or $65,000 to $75,000 CAD. Stand offers an excellent package of employee and health benefits. The location for this position is for the time being fully remote in Canada or the United States. The role may shift to one of our hub offices later on.
