We work to illuminate possible paths toward a liberated, habitable and joyful future for people and the environment alike. Currently publishes daily weather newsletters in 20+ cities around the world, along with original journalism focusing on climate justice. Our in-depth weather forecasting services also provide timely meteorological information to individuals, businesses, and nonprofits.
We additionally have an emerging community platform Project Mushroom, which aims to support and amplify voices in the climate and justice space. Project Mushroom has on-boarded over 10k users, and is growing exponentially each week. The platform provides a social network for community members to organize and share ideas, and provides tools to help publish newsletters and podcasts for hundreds of creators.&nbsp;
But we're just getting started. Our new Director of Advertising will help us reach a much larger audience around the world.&nbsp;
We&rsquo;re seeking a motivated, climate conscious individual to help us grow and expand our mission and business. This individual will help us generate business opportunities both on the direct advertising and sponsorship side. We're a mission-driven organization that has strict guidelines for who we accept as advertisers and customers: groups that we feel contribute in a meaningful way to a world without climate change. The successful candidate will help us apply this mission to attract advertisers in dozens of local markets around the world, in dozens of industries.
We&rsquo;ve seen massive surges of interest in our services in advance of major weather events, so the successful candidate must be able to work cross-functionally with our editorial, partnerships, development, and weather teams to anticipate opportunities and help audiences discover our services when they are most valuable.&nbsp;
