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 500 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.
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, there has never been a more important time to be working on climate change.
The ECF is currently accepting applications for an enthusiastic and highly driven individual to join the France strategic communications team as Digital Associate within an international network of communications professionals in the field of climate and energy, working alongside ECF.
Team members deliver strategic advice, communications and outreach support to partners and work as part of a global network of communications experts to enhance the public debate on climate change and its solutions on a broader level. The successful candidate will use social and digital media to build and sustain engagement with key audiences in France.
This is an exciting opportunity for a digital communications specialist with the ambition to make a difference and play an active role in helping speed up the transition to climate neutrality and helping to avoid the worst impacts of global climate change.
The unique opportunity to work as part of a highly dynamic, international group of individuals who combine their passion to make a difference with a rigorous and results-oriented approach to work;
A flexible work environment in a network committed to empower and encourage professional growth for its members, and that provides a space to develop and challenge yourself;
The opportunity to improve your digital skills through working with a team of experts in the field;

A full-time position with a permanent employment contract.
Paris is the preferred option. We could also consider candidates located elsewhere in France, provided they are able to regularly travel to Paris for team meetings.
