    Descrição

    Our energy system is on the brink of a major transformation, and we’re looking for someone to help us ensure this new system puts rooftop solar energy at the cornerstone!

    About Us

    Solar United Neighbors (SUN) is a national 501(c)3 nonprofit that started more than 15 years ago with a simple question: "Mom, can we go solar?" Since then, we've helped tens of thousands of people benefit from solar energy. We are dedicated to creating a clean, equitable, resilient energy system that benefits everyone — by helping people go solar, join together, and fight for their energy rights.

    About the Position

    We intend to hire four people to fill four state-specific Rural Associate positions, with one person filling the role in each of the following states: Arizona, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Virginia.

    This position is funded for a 1-year term, with the potential for extension based on the availability of grant funding.

    The Rural Associate will work closely with their respective state program director and the regional support team to carry out SUN’s goals in their respective state. The role will focus on creating informed and engaged rural solar advocates who can participate effectively in debates about the use of solar energy in their community. This position reports to the respective state program director.

    Job responsibilities include:

    • Planning and implementing programs to help individuals and organizations go solar, cultivating partner relationships, engaging with the media, conducting public solar 101 sessions, communicating with and supporting people interested in going solar.
    • Providing technical assistance to individuals and entities interested in going solar.
    • Organizing and engaging with a diverse range of solar supporters in urban, suburban, and rural communities, with an emphasis on engaging solar supporters in rural areas.
    • Conducting policy, regulatory, and market research to support the state’s program goals, particularly related to solar messaging for rural outreach regarding utility scale solar siting and development.
    • Engaging with legislators, local governments, and partner organizations to advance the state program’s policy and programmatic goals, especially related to rural-based solar issues.
    • Creating resources and authoring timely content to provide in-depth information on relevant solar topics and helping our members become more effective and informed advocates for solar.
    • Representing the state program in coalitions and at in-person and digital events.
    • Providing technical assistance to individuals and entities interested in going solar.
    • Growing and facilitating ongoing public education and volunteer engagement through regular communications, public-speaking at events, and leadership development that support the state program’s policy and programmatic goals.

    • Resident of Arizona, Nevada, Pennsylvania, or Virginia
    • Ability to work remotely in an action-oriented environment, with frequent in-state travel (20%) and overnight stays within their state and biannual travel to staff retreats elsewhere in the United States

    • Strong verbal and written skills
