Team:
Communications

Location: USA (Fully Remote; Texas or Washington, DC, preferred)

Reports to: Strategic Communications Manager

Good Energy Collective is on a mission to advance clean energy while stewarding a socially responsible energy transition. We're looking for a skilled Communications Associate who can manage multiple work streams independently and ensure smooth, efficient operations.

GEC is hiring for a Communications Associate I. In this role, you will help maintain GEC’s public assets (e.g., website and social media), develop public‑facing communications materials, develop and steward communications processes, and serve in an editorial function for all GEC public content. You’ll support the Strategic Communications Manager by coordinating routine communications activities, developing processes, and drafting position pieces.

The ideal candidate will have strong attention to detail, comfort with external communications software, very strong communications and project management skills, and the ability to work cross‑functionally in a remote, mission‑driven environment. This is an excellent opportunity for someone with high aptitude for communications and PR as well as comfort working in a fast‑paced, remote workplace.

Good Energy Collective places significant emphasis on a strong and inclusive workplace culture grounded in collaboration and empathy. We are a fully remote U.S.

-based organization, and employees are not expected to relocate, though occasional travel will be required.

Although the role is remote, it is not “work from anywhere.” Employees are expected to maintain regular working hours in their local time from a home office or approved coworking space. To ensure adequate support for the team, the Communications Associate should expect to be available throughout the workday for meetings and timely communication.
