Qualifications:

• 8+ years experience in growth/marketing, with consumer-focused Internet/app marketing preferred

We care much more about what you’ve done, and the ideas you have, than the academic degrees you may hold.

You are concerned about climate change and are committed to inspiring millions of people from all walks of life to take the fight against climate change into their own hands and make a measurable difference. You appreciate that most families can’t afford a Tesla, switch to solar power or buy Oatly non-dairy milk and are intrigued about making climate-smart life choices more accessible for all.
