We want you on our team!
The Solutions Project funds and amplifies grassroots climate justice solutions across the US and Puerto Rico, especially those created by Black, Indigenous, Immigrant, women, and other people of color led organizations. We operate as a national intermediary dedicated to improving the material conditions of the people directly impacted by the climate crisis, who we believe play a central role in finding and scaling solutions. As an intermediary funder, we practice deep listening and trust-earning with our grantee partners. We support grantee partners through funding, amplifying grantee messages, and driving policy, narrative and culture change that centers frontline communities.
We are committed to a regenerative economy that centers equity-rooted strategies, community benefits, diverse leadership and just transitions. The current moment appeals to philanthropy to be more attuned and holistic in its approach. To recognize interconnectedness, and to be in deeper service of communities. This is the type of philanthropy we embody.
Let’s create the future we want. Will you join us?
We're bold.
We are aspirational, creative, and always proactive. Those at the frontlines of pollution, extraction, and the shared urgency of climate change deserve nothing less.
We're inclusive.
We shine the light and invite everyone we can onto the path to a regenerative economy. We follow the leadership of those rooted in frontline communities who are showing the way.
We advance equity.
We center equity-rooted strategies, community benefits, diverse leadership, and just transitions. The transition to a regenerative economy must center and directly benefit those people most impacted by pollution, extraction, and climate change.
The Managing Director of Narrative & Communications (MD) is an experienced leadership role responsible for shaping and advancing The Solutions Project’s communications and narrative strategy. This includes hands-on leadership across media relations, public relations, campaign execution, storytelling, framing, partnerships, and cultural interventions that influence how people understand climate, justice, and solutions. The role requires a deep understanding of popular culture, media dynamics, and how narratives travel — including what makes ideas resonate, spread, and break through at scale.
Balancing strategic communications leadership with movement-rooted narrative work, the MD will help TSP move beyond episodic campaigns toward sustained popular influence. This role is accountable for driving visibility, reach, engagement, and relevance, expanding TSP’s presence in mainstream and emerging media, with new audiences, and in varied public spaces. The MD will strengthen TSP’s public identity and reputation while ensuring communications connect meaningfully to people’s everyday lives.
Reporting to the Chief Programs and Operating Officer and working closely with the CEO and the Grantmaking and Development teams, the MD serves as the organization’s senior functional leader for communications and as a trusted strategic advisor. This leader translates frontline insights into accessible, compelling messages and narratives — and ensures those narratives gain traction through effective communications execution.
The Managing Director leads a small internal team and a network of consultants and partners, bringing both strategic vision and strong executional capability. While much of the role’s influence happens behind the scenes, the MD may also represent TSP externally. Ultimately, this role exists to build narrative and communications capacity that mobilizes people, shapes popular culture, generates visibility and influence, safeguards TSP’s reputation, and accelerates climate justice movement impact.
