Communications & Campaigns Manager Position

Who we are: 

Environmental Health Sciences (EHS) is a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization that advances endocrine disruption science and public understanding of the effects of endocrine disrupting chemicals on human and environmental health. EHS maintains Environmental Health News (EHN.org), where we curate and share outstanding environmental journalism from trusted sources around the world.

Endocrine-disrupting chemicals are widespread in food systems, consumer products, and workplaces, contributing to preventable chronic disease, reproductive harm, and escalating healthcare costs. EHS responds by providing trusted, independent science; translating evidence into practical protections for people at home and at work; and coordinating long-term strategies to update policy and reduce exposure. We prioritize actionable science, real-world protections, and long-term change, making safer products and environments the default rather than the exception.

Campaign Strategy & Management

• Partner with the executive director and other staff to envision, develop, and execute EHS advocacy campaigns aimed at reducing harmful chemical exposures, shifting public behavior, and contributing to long-term regulatory change.
• Take campaigns from concept through implementation: build timelines, coordinate partners and stakeholders, manage deliverables, and keep the work moving.
• Understand how to sequence communications, coalition engagement, and public-facing actions to build sustained momentum over time.
• Work with our science staff to translate complex scientific and policy content into accessible, compelling narratives for diverse audiences.

Qualifications:

• 5+ years of professional experience in communications, advocacy, or campaigns, ideally with experience across multiple areas.
