Your Impact

RMI is seeking a Communications and Marketing Lead to assist senior staff in designing and executing communications and marketing strategies to accelerate methane emissions reductions in line with a safer climate future. They will create and make use of diverse digital channels and media to advance RMI's goals by engaging key audiences and stakeholders.

You'll be part of RMI's Influence Team, which makes RMI's research and technical analysis accessible to diverse audiences through multi-media storytelling and marketing campaigns.

Methane has over 80x more climate warming potency than carbon dioxide over a twenty-year period but has been left out of mainstream climate action and regulation conversations until recently.

RMI has prioritized increasing methane emissions visibility through an evolving network of satellites and sophisticated digital tools for both the oil and gas and waste sectors. RMI plays a leading role in transforming methane emissions visibility into strategic interventions that inform government and industry actions to cut methane emissions under their control. As such, this role will frequently work at the intersection of multiple RMI programs, helping to shape deliverables that advance collaborative methane mitigation goals.

Regardless of your background or level of experience, you will have the opportunity to help bring about change in the world that you might not find anywhere else in your career.

This role will report to the Senior Manager of Market Forces Communications.
