About the role

  • Your work will involve:
  • - Creating new climate and nature communications material for business, government and institutional audiences.
  • - Editing and finessing existing material, ready for delivery by our presenters.
  • - Watching demos of new material, and helping to guide it into a better shape.
  • - Researching the organisations we work with; in particular on their climate, sustainability and nature work and weaving client-specific references, links and language (always with care and integrity - considering the science and our stringent greenwashing policy) into our existing materials.
  • - Helping to update our existing materials to ensure that they remain relevant and current.

Requirements

  • What you’ll need
  • - **Extensive experience engaging with diverse perspectives:** In particular, we’re looking for someone who knows how to (and enjoys) speak(ing) to a conservative-leaning audience, though we’re keen on a writer who can demonstrate experience speaking to a wide range of backgrounds beyond this.
  • - **An ability to craft inspiring content that leaves a lasting emotional impact**: We are seeking a writer who understands that people remember how they feel most, and details second, and that, consequently, “information” can only have a meaningful impact in a short, packed training session when it’s wrapped in a powerfully emotional envelope.
  • - **A collaborative mindset:** You will need to be able to co-create and incorporate constructive feedback effectively. We have a culture of direct feedback, to help one another to learn as quickly as possible.
  • - **Diligence and a keen eye for detail**.
  • - **Previous experience** working in communications in the climate, sustainability and nature space.
  • **Furthermore, qualities that are essential for working with us at AimHi Earth include:**
  • - Initiative and ownership - taking responsibility for agreed work and holding a high bar for its quality and impact.
  • - The ability to collaborate thoughtfully - rapidly understanding context, engaging with direct feedback, and helping material evolve into its strongest form.
  • - Discipline and self-motivation as a remote contributor, with strong time management and clarity around availability.
  • - Critical thinking and intellectual rigour - approaching complex challenges with care, nuance and a willingness to ask difficult, insightful questions.
  • Nice to haves
  • The following are not *necessary*, but we are particularly interested in applicants who can demonstrate one (or more!) of the following:
  • - A science degree: Ideally in a biological science (biology, ecology, zoology etc.), though we’re also interested in other sciences (chemistry, earth sciences, physics etc.), particularly if you have a professional background related to complex natural systems.
  • - 2+ years communicating to businesses/institutions about sustainability at an organisational level
  • - Proven experience in any of digital live learning, behavioural psychology or system-transformation.
  • - Proven experience writing promotional and marketing material that understands the audience well enough to add clear value and cut through the noise (please include examples of promo material you’ve written that “understands the audience” in addition to your 1-2 other writing examples, as part of your application).
Benefits
  • How we work
  • We comprise 10+ people working remotely around the world, and we talk openly and honestly, regularly. We aim to enable all of our team members to do their best work, be themselves, and ultimately feel energised every Monday.
  • We are regularly onboarding new clients and starting new training projects, whether that involves creating entirely new bespoke trainings or tailoring existing trainings to a specific audience’s needs.
  • As these projects come up, we will share them with our group of writers, and you can pick up projects based on your availability and interest.
