At Bank.Green, our mission is to harness the power of technology and collective action to decarbonize the banking sector. We empower bank customers with the tools and insights they need to influence their banks towards sustainable lending, advocating for a greener future. Through transparency, engagement, and innovation, we aim to redefine the role of banks in the fight against climate change.
As a consumer advocacy organization, we are geared towards addressing the climate crisis by targeting the banking sector's vast fossil fuel financing. At the heart of our project is an advanced AI tool that meticulously analyses bank sustainability policies, deciphering the often-ambiguous terms to generate a "greenwashing" score. This score assists bank customers in assessing their banks' genuine commitment to sustainability and advocating for them to do better.
Commitment & Compensation
This role is currently volunteer-based and we are seeking a commitment of 3-5 hours per week. However, we're in the active phase of fundraising, and as our resources grow, there's significant potential for this position to transition into a paid role in the future.
We are looking for somebody to come on long-term, but are open to shorter-term applicants.
Your Impact: A Voice for Change
In this pivotal role, you'll be instrumental in spreading awareness about banks' environmental impacts, green personal finance, and encouraging bank customers to demand more sustainable policies from their financial institutions. Your efforts will not only drive our message home but will also facilitate a broader understanding and tangible change within the banking sector.
Key Responsibilities:
- Craft 1-2 compelling articles monthly for our blog to engage and educate our audience.
- Curate and compose our monthly newsletter, aligning with our mission and current initiatives.
- Utilize SEO best practices to increase the reach and impact of our content.
- Analyze content performance, using insights to drive strategy and improve engagement.
- Occasionally contribute to various content projects such as insightful whitepapers, persuasive crowdfunding materials, or other advocacy-related content.
Desired Skills:
- Exceptional verbal and written communication skills.
- Proven experience in content creation or a similar role.
- A basic understanding of finance or banking is preferred but not required.
- Autonomous work ethic, with the ability to work collaboratively in a remote team environment.
- A passionate advocate for environmental issues, especially within the financial sector (though again, not required).
