ABOUT GREENPEACEGreenpeace is a global network of independent organizations that use solid research; peaceful protest and creative communication to expose global environmental problems and promote solutions that are essential to a green and peaceful future. For fifty years, Greenpeace has fought to save the planet from the threat of the climate crisis, destruction of ancient forests, deterioration of our oceans, and the threat of nuclear disasters. Greenpeace does not accept funds from any corporations or government entities, safeguarding our independence and ability to speak the truth and act boldly. We recognize the importance of the moment: Ours is the first generation to understand the impacts of climate change and ecosystem destruction, and also the last generation with a window of time to do something about it. Greenpeace US works with Greenpeace offices around the world and diverse allies across the US to build a movement strong enough to drive change commensurate with what the science and the moment demand.
ROLE PURPOSE/POSITION SUMMARYClimate change is the most urgent problem facing our planet right now, and the window for meaningful action is closing fast. Our reliance on coal, oil, and natural gas has heated and acidified the ocean to the point where coral reefs are dying off and the ice caps are melting. Fossil fuel companies are trying to lock in use of oil and gas and doubling down on plastic as a lifeline. Plastic pollutes throughout its entire lifecycle, with devastating consequences on our communities and our oceans. 

Greenpeace USA (GPUS) is hiring a Senior Oceans Campaigner to join the Plastic Free Future team. The Senior Oceans Campaigner - Plastic Free Future will play a vital role in driving our efforts to secure a strong Global Plastics Treaty and in defending our oceans and communities from plastic pollution at every step of the supply chain. At times, the Senior Oceans Campaigner - Plastic Free Future may also be asked to support broader oceans conservation work on marine sanctuaries and sustainable fisheries.

The Senior Oceans Campaigner, PFF will develop plans with an eye toward public engagement at all levels (online, offline, fundraising, etc…) looking to empower people and reach diverse audiences. This role will respond to real world events and opportunities that affect objectives, while maintaining focus on long-term strategy.
The Senior Oceans Campaigner, PFF is a full-time, hybrid, exempt, benefits-eligible role that can be based in any location GPUS is authorized to work in (CA, CT, DC, MD, Ny, NJ, VA), and is represented by the Progressive Workers Union. This role reports to the Senior Campaigner - Team Lead.
