OnePointFive (“OPF”) is seeking a Content Specialist to:

• Create simple, engaging, accessible, beautiful short-form content (for distribution across social media, email, and web) that helps grow large audiences
• Increase awareness of OPF amongst target customers via digital channels
• Showcase OPF’s value and increase industry credibility

The ideal candidate is a talented storyteller and a climate-focused creative, thinker and/or content creator. Someone who understands the complex social media ecosystems, the ever-changing visual languages of channels like Reels and TikTok, and has some understanding of how to tame, trick and/or feed the beast (aka their algorithms). This role is fully remote and part-time (15-20 hours per week), and requires at least two years of demonstrated professional experience.

Introduction to OnePointFive:

Since early 2020, OnePointFive  has been working to disrupt the traditional advisory model for accessing on-demand, cost-effective, and vetted sustainability experts. Leveraging the “future of work” shift  and adoption of remote work technology, OPF built an Expert Network of over 100 credentialed professionals, supporting bespoke climate projects and solution needs of businesses all over the world. 

Many sustainability and climate-focused teams are capacity constrained, with more work priorities than they can handle. Most of the additional initiatives or projects on their plate are also bespoke needs, requiring specific expertise and not warranting full-time hires. To top it off, the climate solutions landscape has evolved and grown rapidly in the past two years, making it difficult for organizations to source the right talent (and solutions) to solve their climate needs. 

At OnePointFive you'll find a community of interdisciplinary climate Experts working together to innovate and design solutions to sustainability challenges, helping organizations achieve sustainable long-term growth. 

With regards to our organizational culture, we are people-centric, and operate with the cultural values of commitment, collaboration, respect, diversity, trust, transparency and accountability, in everything we do. We embody friendliness, yet professionalism in caring for our team members, customers and partners as we would our loved ones. We hope to find someone aligned with our vision and values to join our small but growing team.

We're updating our brand footprint to better reflect our growth trajectory, as we expand our Marketing & Communications team! We're focused on achieving our ambitious goals for 2022 and beyond, and would love to chat with equally motivated candidates.
