Auto Supply Chain Campaigner

Job Description

Public Citizen is a national, non-partisan, public interest group with more than 500,000 members and supporters. We hold the government and corporations accountable with campaigns and advocacy before Congress, administrative agencies, and the courts, on issues including money in politics, open government, financial regulation, energy and the climate crisis, fair trade, consumer protection, access to justice, tax policy, workplace safety, drug and medical device safety, healthcare, and more. We are the reason why there are air bags in cars and there were no red M&Ms for a decade. And much more.

Public Citizen’s Climate Program is advocating for corporate accountability in the insurance and auto manufacturing industries, and for financial policy that advances the transition away from fossil fuels and promotes rather than impedes racial, economic, and intergenerational justice.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION: Public Citizen’s Climate Program is seeking an experienced and committed campaigner to hold automakers accountable for their role in the climate crisis by ensuring accountability, transparency, environmental safeguards, and respect for human rights throughout their supply chains.

The position combines corporate campaigning, organizing, coalition building, and developing creative tactics to hold automakers accountable, both digitally and offline. The right candidate is a sharp strategic thinker who is driven to expose the greenwashing of bad corporate actors and hold automakers accountable for their role in driving the climate crisis.
