Collectrify Co-Director
Location: Fully Remote
Salary: $187,500
The Co-Director role is an extraordinary opportunity to co-lead Collectrify through a pivotal period of growth and impact. This position offers the opportunity to lead, innovate, and drive change while also contributing to the day-to-day work of advancing Collectrify's mission.
The Co-Director responsibilities will be executed in alignment with the values and principles that drive the Collectrify, including the Jemez Principles for Democratic Organizing and Principles for a Just Transition. The strategy to meet our mission and Vision for 2030 will be first and foremost informed by the self-determined priorities of our partners. Collectrify partners believe that it is the approach to this work and who is leading that will lead to transformational climate and housing solutions and economic opportunity.
About Collectrify
Collectrify was started by environmental, housing, and climate justice leaders who came together with other community-based housing, energy, and consumer protection advocates and members of philanthropy, because low-income communities and communities of color were being left out of conversations about building decarbonization. The conversations among our founders led to the creation of a pooled, participatory grantmaking fund and a learning space for frontline, grassroots, and base-building organizations and leaders in communities of color and limited-wealth communities. Collectrify provides grant dollars to local partners to create pathways to move beyond our current fossil-fuel based economy and get fossil-fuels out of homes to develop healthy, livable housing; family-sustaining, clean-energy jobs; and community-driven, equitable economic opportunities.
