ABOUT RAN
For more than 30 years, Rainforest Action Network (RAN) has campaigned to preserve forests, protect the climate and uphold human rights by challenging corporate power and systemic injustice through research, education, partnerships, peaceful direct action, grassroots organizing, strategic campaigns and communications. We are committed to working with Indigenous and frontline communities directly impacted by profit-driven systems of injustice. In partnership with allies from around the world, RAN challenges corporations to stop destructive operations, respect human rights, and adopt policies that reduce their contributions to climate change.
RACIAL JUSTICE
RAN strives to integrate values of equity and fairness into our work, which includes bringing an intentional racial justice analysis to our programmatic work and organizational structure. We are seeking candidates who have a commitment to engage in this ongoing process and work with us to create a just and inclusive work environment and world.
THE POSITION
RAN is committed to pushing back against corporate power, challenging bad public policy on climate & energy, and continuing to punch above our weight. Our Climate and Energy Program campaigns to keep fossil fuels in the ground and persuade corporate targets, including the world’s largest banks and insurance companies, to develop and implement comprehensive climate, environmental, and human rights policies to guide their lending and underwriting. The Research Manager is responsible for overseeing and executing research for the C&E Program, engaging with financial institutions, and coordinating special projects as needed. This position will inform and support the team’s work to call out corporate greenwashing and inadequate government response while ensuring our research is responsive to our frontline and grassroots partners. The Research Manager will report to the Climate and Energy Program Director.
