Organizer

Come Work with Us at the Center for Oil and Gas Organizing!

From natural (methane) gas wells and interstate gas pipelines to compressor stations, data centers and Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) export facilities, communities across the United States (U.S.) are living with the harshest costs of energy injustice, including skyrocketing utility costs, dangerous levels of pollution, and decisions being made without their input. The Center for Oil and Gas Organizing (COGO) is a national organization working to change this by building power and influence in communities harmed by fossil fuel infrastructure.

COGO is committed to a diverse and inclusive workplace and considers qualified applicants for employment without regard to age, sex, ethnicity, religion, disability, sexual orientation or gender identity, military/veteran status, or any other basis prohibited by applicable law.

The Role: Organizer

Our small but mighty team supports grassroots partners across the U.S. as they fight back against LNG and gas pipeline expansion. We do this through strategic coordination, frontline-centered federal advocacy, narrative development, coalition building, and regranting.

We also support our partners in educating the public, reclaiming the narrative, mobilizing around key permitting decisions, and building pressure from local governments to federal agencies to demand accountability and justice.

We are looking for an experienced Organizer to join us as we sustain our ongoing work, expand upon existing successful efforts, and seed new campaigns that build frontline power.

This is a remote role that requires occasional travel within the U.S.

• Collaborate with partners, coalitions, and allies to deepen relationships, expand reach, align priorities, and build collective power through shared efforts;

• Skilled at translating strategy into impact, connecting with people online and in person, and amplifying the voices of partners and frontline organizers;
• Comfortable working across multiple projects and shifting priorities while maintaining focus, precision, and high-quality results;
