About Climate Power

Climate Power is a strategic communications organization focused on winning the politics of climate. We’re educating Americans about our climate progress, highlighting how clean energy investments benefit local communities, and holding Big Oil accountable for polluting our air and water. We use data-backed messages to pave a path for bold action and shine a light on the price of ignoring the climate crisis would cost our health, economy, and future generations.


It’s our job to tell the story of how climate action and clean energy investment are rebuilding our economy, lowering energy costs, and protecting our planet for future generations. We call out disinformation from bad actors like the Big Oil lobby, and make the climate stakes real for voters.


About This Role

The Director of Finance & Controller will join Climate Power’s Operations department leadership in managing fiscal operations and accounting for three entities—Climate Power, a 501(c)(4), Climate Power Education Fund, a 501(c)(3), and Climate Power Action, a 527 PAC. They will be an essential partner to the Managing Director of Finance & Operations and the Chief Operating Officer in evolving Climate Power’s finance function following a period of rapid growth.


The Director of Finance & Controller will serve as the organization’s accounting expert, advising on and implementing accounting standards and finance processes in line with GAAP and industry best practices.

The successful candidate will approach finance and operations with consideration of how equity and inclusion can be infused throughout this work. They will be both detail-oriented and able to understand the big picture, and build relationships to facilitate working in deep partnership with multiple stakeholders across the organization.
