The Great Climate Race is looking for a outgoing and organized individual to take on working with volunteers and and working with other to implement our email and social media campaigns.

The Great Climate Race is a new running event series focused on raising money for local solar energy projects. Our inaugural event is a 10k and 2k on November 8th in Vancouver. We are looking for someone who can commit to working full time starting immediately and continue on until at least the date of the event. We have future events planned in Vancouver and elsewhere and if it’s a good fit there is the possibility of this becoming a full time permanent position.

The ideal person would be passionate about climate change and its a bonus if you are an avid runner but not a requirement. We need someone who is available to work on weekend and evenings for outreach events when needed.

We want someone who will take a sense of ownership of helping us reach our outreach and event registration targets and will work closely with other key members of the team to reach our goals.

We work out of a shared workspace which you will have access to for meetings and working together when needed.

A driver’s license and access to an automobile is an asset. Car co-op membership is an acceptable (and climate friendly) way to approach this.
