JOB DESCRIPTIONABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY
Beyond Petrochemicals:
People Over Pollution is seeking a Regional Director for the Ohio River Valley and beyond to support a growing movement to address the expansion of petrochemical projects and protect the health of communities. Working closely with the Beyond Petrochemicals team and local stakeholders, the Regional Director will help guide an impactful program that amplifies the stories of communities impacted by toxic pollution from petrochemicals, reduces demand for plastics, and drives narratives that lead to wins for local activists and advocates.
The Regional Director will develop a comprehensive field program to stop the build-out of the petrochemical industry, reduce demand for plastics, and support the movement of grassroots advocates fighting petrochemicals.
