Chief Program Officer (GP) (Oakland)

The Chief Program Officer will oversee the long-term strategy for Greenpeace's strategic campaign areas, including Climate, Democracy, Oceans, and Forests. Our program is aligned on domestic priority goals and critical global projects. For the next three years, our domestic priority goal is to stop the expansion of the oil and gas industry in the United States and usher in its responsible and equitable phaseout with a federal plan of action in the next five years.

Globally, we are committed to projects where we can make a critical difference, such as winning a global oceans treaty, ending single-use plastics, stopping deep-sea mining, protecting Indonesia's forests and ecosystems, and safeguarding labor rights, as well as ending illegal, unreported, and unregulated commercial tuna fishing.

The Climate Team is campaigning to end fossil fuels and win a just transition and Green New Deal that prioritizes frontline communities and workers. This year, the Climate Team is focused on ending public fossil fuel subsidies at the federal level and accelerating the fossil fuel phase-out in California.

The Democracy Team conducts campaigns with allies to build a more inclusive democracy, defend and expand the right to peaceful protest, and stop the use of SLAPP suits to stifle dissent.

The Chief Program Officer must be a strategic and innovative thinker, impact-oriented, and understand the roles of science, politics, society, economics, media, and culture in creating lasting change. They should have a deep commitment to social and environmental justice, intersectional analysis, people power, and a critical understanding of corporate power and structural oppression.

This individual will guide the Program Team to deliver high-quality campaigns, peaceful actions, and thorough research that exposes environmental issues and promotes solutions for a sustainable and peaceful future. They will also collaborate across departments (Program, Development, and Administration) to ensure operational excellence organization-wide.
