Major Functions:

World Wildlife Fund (WWF), one of the world’s leading conservation organizations, seeks a Program Officer, Private Sector Action, to join the America Is All In team.

America Is All In (All In), a program of World Wildlife Fund (WWF), is seeking an experienced and dynamic coalition builder to serve as the initiative’s Private Sector Program Officer.

The Program Officer will support the design and execution of strategies to engage large corporations, investors and financial institutions, small- and medium-sized businesses, and other private-sector entities in the broad efforts of America Is All In. The Program Officer will develop, in partnership with colleagues, a strategy focused on corporations that operate, serve, or otherwise impact energy and climate at-risk communities with an environmental justice lens. The role will involve the curation of resources and opportunities relevant to accelerating private-sector climate action. Moreover, this position will include building and maintaining relationships with private sector institutions that are existing and future members of the America Is All In coalition and with partner organizations that drive and support private sector action on climate.

All In members include thousands of U.S. cities, states, tribal nations, businesses, schools, and institutions of faith, health, and culture that work together to champion a whole-of-society approach to addressing the climate crisis. All In seeks to build stronger engagement by subnational and non-state actors – particularly the private sector – to influence regional, federal, and international climate policy so that they can implement equitable climate action in their jurisdictions and institutions.

Identifies storytelling opportunities from leading private sector entities to inform All In communications, tailors resources to business-specific audiences, and ensures robust private-sector representation in convenings and events. Oversees the exploration and possible development of consumer-centered campaigns and engagement strategies, thinking creatively about the private sector’s role in maximizing the impact of new federal climate policies.
