About the European Climate Foundation
The European Climate Foundation (ECF) was founded in 2008 as a major philanthropic initiative to help tackle climate change by fostering the development of a low-carbon society at the national, European and global level.
We support over 280 partner organisations to carry out activities that contribute to the public debate on climate action, drive urgent and ambitious policy in support of the objectives of the Paris Agreement and help deliver a socially responsible transition to a net-zero emissions economy and sustainable society in Europe and around the world.
About the role
The ECF is looking for an Assistant to facilitate the workload for the Managing Director (MD) and Operations Director (OD) – Strategic Communications. The MD and OD are senior members of the strategic communications team and are responsible for the overall management and organization of the strategic communications work at the foundation.
There has never been a more important time to be working on climate change. As towns, cities and countries around the world declare climate emergencies, seas rise, forests burn, glaciers melt, increasing numbers of people take to the streets demanding urgent action and our societies begin to wake up to what the science has been saying for many years. This is an exciting role that will help enable the MD and OD to effectively manage the work of the senior management team and the broader strategic communications team.
The position will report to the OD with dotted line to MD, Strategic Communications.
