We are seeking a talented and dynamic person to join our team as a Relationships Associate for the Color of Water initiative, which has evolved into a community where members connect to share experiences and skills. Our vision is to continue building out the program in ways that are responsive to members’ interests. This role will include staying up to date with the work of Color of Water members, elevating their voices through social media and other channels, and building their voice by providing hands-on communications support, training sessions, and assisting with writing and media outreach.
The Associate will also pitch in on a variety of communications efforts, ranging from national and regional campaigns to creative projects. This includes supporting Water Hub partners and collaborating with coalitions and networks working on water equity and climate justice. The team shares responsibilities for network-building efforts like our newsletter, social media presence, and workshops. The Relationships Associate will report directly to the Water Hub’s Senior Relationships Manager, José Aranda to expand our capacity to support Color of Water members.
This is a temporary, two-year staff position with further employment depending on additional funding. This new hire will be part of a highly collaborative seven-person team. The ideal candidate will share a passion for environmental justice, relationship-building, storytelling and community management. Strong connections with the water, environmental justice, or health movements already is a plus, though we invite people from other issue areas who bring valuable perspectives. We believe in leaning into people’s strengths to co-create our work plans, and there are ample opportunities for professional development and advancement.
