Regeneration Projects Manager

Job Description

Position Name: Regeneration Projects Manager (long-term part-time)

In a world of uncertainty and polycrises, two organizations are joining to promote the hopeful and inspiring goals of regeneration of our natural world and human communities.

The Regeneration Projects Manager will advance efforts by We Can’t Wait (WeCW) to encourage and inspire people to commit their time and talents now, and donate and invest more. WeCW is a fiscally-sponsored project of The Buckminster Fuller Institute (BFI), a 42-year old nonprofit dedicated to the realization of Fuller’s vision “to make the world work for 100% of humanity in the shortest possible time through spontaneous cooperation without ecological offense.”

We seek a project leader with passion and energy to lead and support multiple projects. The position combines writing, relationship-building, and outreach to expand partnerships, collaborations and support across WeCW and BFI networks. The position will be funded by charitable donations from high-wealth individuals.

WeCW founder Felix Kramer, long time climate activist,entrepreneur, strategist and author, will supervise. He led the successful 2002-09 campaign by California Cars Initiative (CalCars) to motivate carmakers to mass-produce plug-in hybrids, starting with the Chevy Volt. He has large networks in cleantech and EVs. He has since co-founded and collaborated on climate-related and “missing pieces” projects.

Responsibilities:

• Manage business development and fundraising operations: researching donors, managing communications and meetings, and tracking results.
• Advance Global Mission Impossible (GMI) initiatives for regeneration developed by WeCW and BFI.
• Support audacious regenerative solutions and campaigns by BFI and its collaborators, starting with regenerative AI along with restoration and carbon removal projects in oceans and the Amazon.
• Evaluate and advance projects, technologies, and apps for beneficial use of AI.

Qualifications:

• Familiarity with climate, sustainability, and regeneration concepts and frameworks.
• Relationship-building experience across philanthropic, innovation, and startup communities.
• Experience in policy/advocacy/organizing around environmental campaigns.
• Interest in emerging technologies and human-centered design.
• Colloquial writing style with strong research, networking, and social media skills.
• Familiarity with tools to track projects and fundraising campaigns.
• We encourage applicants who are at different career stages and with different networks than WeCW founder Felix Kramer.

Work Environment and Compensation:

• Initially part-time at 20 hours/week. Compensation range $40-$50/hour depending on experience.
• This potentially long-term project will begin as a four-month contract position, renewable depending on project fundraising.
• Flexible work hours
• Location: must be able to work one day per week in person in Berkeley, California and be available for occasional in person meetings in the San Francisco Bay Area
