The mission of the Colorado Energy Office (CEO) is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and consumer energy costs by advancing clean energy, energy efficiency, and zero emission vehicles (ZEV) to benefit all Coloradans. We do this by developing and implementing highly impactful policies and programs, establishing Colorado as a leading state for climate action.
As the CEO grows and scales, the need for meaningful and coordinated communications, marketing, outreach, and engagement is crucial to meeting our mission and goals. This includes communications through traditional media, social media, email campaigns, newsletters, and our website, as well as community engagement with a broad array of stakeholders and community members. Targeted engagement and fostering transformational relationships with disproportionately impacted communities and community members is critical to our work.
CEO currently has an opening for a Communications & Engagement Specialist to join the Communications and Engagement (C&E) team to focus on Colorado Solar for All (COS4A). This role will include developing subject matter expertise on COS4A to identify, plan, and implement strategic communications, marketing, outreach, and engagement. In collaboration with C&E, this position will use a variety of traditional media and digital media tools, including owned, paid, and earned media. In addition, outreach and engagement efforts may include in-person and virtual meetings, presentations, events, collateral development, and more.
The ideal candidate will be solution-oriented, collaborative, have deep expertise and passion for communications and engagement, and be excited to engage in COS4A.
