JOB OPPORTUNITY 

Digital Engagement & Impact Coordinator 
Full time | Annual salary $54K – $66K 

ABOUT SIERRA CLUB BC  
Sierra Club of British Columbia Foundation (Sierra Club BC) is an environmental charity whose core mission is to advance climate justice and ecosystem protection by uplifting grassroots-led change. We are committed to engaging with and learning from diverse communities and knowledge systems. This is an opportunity to join a dynamic team implementing its new vision and strategic plan to create a brighter future for the lands, waters and all who call them home. 
 
We offer a living wage and are committed to justice, diversity, equity, and inclusion in both our hiring practices and work environment. We encourage women, people of Indigenous ancestry, people of color, LGBTQIA2SP individuals and members of other diverse communities to apply for careers with our organization.    
 
 
ABOUT THE ROLE   
Using your creativity and passion for the many beings who call the west coast home, you’ll engage our existing members and help invite new audiences in, particularly those who may not have seen themselves reflected in the environmental movement before. This position will focus on boosting engagement through three main avenues: (1) communicating SCBC’s impact through compelling written and shortform video materials shared across social media, our website and email platforms, (2) interactive webinar/online event development and (3) creating annual giving fundraising content (including e-appeals). 
 
The Digital Engagement and Impact Coordinator will work collaboratively across the Development and Communication departments. Sierra Club BC maintains a largely remote work environment with some  
in-person outreach events. Due to this hybrid nature, applicants based in the Metro Vancouver area will be prioritized.
