Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign is seeking a climate engagement director.

As the likely Democratic presidential nominee looks to rally young voters and climate advocates heading into the November showdown against former President Donald Trump, the Harris campaign is looking for an “ultimate utility player” to build and manage the “Climate Voters for Harris program,” according to a job listing on the campaign website.

The ad for a climate engagement director appears to predate Harris’ presidential campaign but has been retooled since President Joe Biden announced on July 21 that he was dropping out of the race and endorsing Harris to replace him on the ticket.

With just 99 days to go until the election, Harris’ campaign is seeking an “organizer at heart” who can “break through the noise about what’s at stake for the climate community this election, build relationships with trusted messengers to reach the community where they are, and mobilize a critical coalition of leaders to enthusiastically elect Vice President Harris,” the ad says.
