Communications Director, REBUILD

About Us

REBUILD.US is a national organization of disaster survivors and community leaders from the most climate-impacted regions of the country who have come together to build a new response to climate shocks to both care for people and win lasting solutions to our country’s biggest challenges. , we treat each disaster as a moment of both trauma and devastation while also a window of immense possibility to change the future.

We meet each climate shock with a deep commitment to care for people, deploy resources quickly, and organize communities for the long term to expand the public good rather than simply restore what existed before.

We carry out our work through three interventions:

• We organize money: through our fundraising and grantmaking platform, we are advancing a new model for disaster response. We raise and move funds in 48 hours of a disaster to experienced, local leaders who are in the community before the disaster strikes and long after the headlines fade. We have raised and distributed over $16 million to 125 groups.
• We organize people: we are the first national disaster survivors association, bringing survivors and our communities together to win a full recovery and a dignified life for all. Our growing membership, who have lived through hurricanes, floods, wildfires, and tornadoes, find community, share hard-won knowledge, and organize together so no survivor faces recovery alone.
• We organize attention: through our creative command center, we are advancing a dynamic new model for strategic communications. We are building an always-on studio, deeply connected to influential creators who can amplify a new point of view about how the world understands disasters—what causes them, who is responsible, and what must change—while challenging the narratives and power structures that stand in the way.

In addition to these interventions, we are developing a private sector strategy and continue to work with state and local groups to prepare them to engage in climate shock moments to care for their communities and organize for power.

REBUILD.US is fiscally sponsored by Assets Under Movement.

The Communications Director is a member of REBUILD.US's senior leadership team responsible for executing REBUILD.US's communications, narrative, and brand-building strategy to advance our core theory of change: in order to advance a multi-racial, pro-democracy society and expand the public sector, we must seize climate shock windows to drive major political, economic, and social change.

We are seeking a communication expert and builder - someone exceptional at producing high-quality materials quickly, as well as working with a talented, diverse team spanning digital communications, social media, brand, design, media relations, narrative strategy, and influencer strategy to shape how those disciplines work together to execute a powerful communications program.

This role will lead a comprehensive communications program during climate disaster rapid response and "blue sky" periods to power our organizing, fundraising, and advocacy campaigns, and advance our overall narrative change and brand-building strategy. The Communications Director will bring a strong understanding of audience targeting, how to compete for attention in the new media landscape, along with a rigorous approach to goal setting, testing strategies, measuring impact, and integrating lessons learnt into the program.

This is a rare opportunity to play a meaningful role in shaping the political, cultural, and economic terrain of the country by redefining how we understand our new climate disaster-driven future, and to build the editorial and narrative infrastructure of a fast-growing national organization at a crucial inflection…
