1Sky (www.1sky.org) is a powerful new campaign to aggregate a movement at the scale of the climate challenge we
are confronting by communicating a positive vision and advocating a clear, simple set of goals and policy initiatives. 1
Sky was borne from the collective urgency and determination of a diverse group of leaders who believe that we must
converge quickly and enthusiastically to form a movement capable of achieving solutions on the scale of the problem.
Our diverse movement has many strengths, audiences and organizing strategies and 1Sky aggregates that power. 1
Sky is building a central staff of approximately 25 located in the D.C. area that works cooperatively with 1Sky partner
organizations around the country to carry out our mission.
 
The Communications Director will be a full-time senior strategist and manager within the organization who will
