Help build the next phase of Clean Cities in Italy

We’re looking for a creative, politically astute and digitally confident campaigner-organizer to help drive our next phase of growth in Italy. This is a role for someone who wants to build, test, mobilize, connect and win.

You might already have a few years of experience in campaigning, organizing, advocacy, communications or movement-building. You might be a digital organizer, a creative campaigner with strong political instincts, or a policy-minded communicator who knows how to turn complex issues into compelling public messages.

What matters most is that you can spot an opportunity, bring people together around an idea, and help turn momentum into action. We want to expand our presence beyond Milan, run sharper and more visible campaigns, build stronger local alliances, and activate more supporters online and offline. You’ll help shape and deliver Clean Cities’ strategy in Italy, working closely with the Head of Italy Campaign, colleagues across Europe, and partners on the ground.

You’ll lead or support campaigns, help grow our network in new cities, strengthen our supporter engagement and digital organizing, and contribute to public-facing communications and political advocacy.

Some days this might mean planning a campaign intervention, writing sharp messaging or coordinating allies. Other days it might mean speaking with policymakers, helping organize supporters, spotting a media opportunity, or figuring out how to turn a complex policy debate into something people care about. This role is for someone who enjoys both strategy and action, and who is excited by the challenge of helping build something.

This is a one-year consultancy from September 2026 to September 2027. Lead one or more campaigns as part of Clean Cities’ 2026 strategy in Italy, helping refine the strategies, coordinating partners and allies, and connecting our campaigns to the wider movement for safer and more sustainable mobility.
Depending on agreements with external partners, oversee the continuation of our  Mind the Gap!  and Road Code campaigns in Italy.
Support the expansion of our Milan-based  Cargo Revolution  and  Dirty Delivering  campaigns into other cities in Italy.
Help grow Clean Cities’ presence beyond Milan, especially in cities such as Rome, Turin, Bologna, Florence, Genoa, Naples and Bari.
Help strengthen our digital campaigning and organizing infrastructure in Italy, so we can better grow, activate and engage supporters.
Lead on online and offline mobilization, communications and supporter engagement efforts.
Work with colleagues, consultants, partners and allies across Italy and Europe to deliver ambitious, coordinated campaigns.
Use a mix of tools and tactics — creative, political, digital and grassroots — to build public support and pressure for change.
Regular travel within Italy, and occasional travel to Brussels or elsewhere in Europe.
Produce blogs, speeches, campaign copy, articles and social media content in collaboration with communications colleagues.

Stronger partnerships and a more active network in Italy;
Better supporter activation and stronger digital organizing capacity;
Experience in campaigning, organizing, advocacy, communications, coalition-building or movement-building.
A strong interest in climate, transport, cities, energy, air quality, public space or related issues.
Strong communication skills, including the ability to make complex issues clear, engaging and politically relevant.
Confidence working across different audiences — from activists and allies to journalists and decision-makers.
Strong digital instincts and familiarity with the tools, platforms and methods used in campaigning, mobilization and communications.
Fluent in italian, strong English skills.
A base in Rome and willingness to travel regularly in Italy and occasionally to other European cities.

Experience working with local groups, grassroots networks or coalitions.
