About us

Action Speaks Louder (ASL) is a not-for-profit galvanizing people around the world to hold

major corporations to account for their climate promises. We focus on pressuring corporations to walk the talk on climate, in order to help deliver international climate goals. If we can pressure large consumer-facing, brand-sensitive corporations to live up to their climate commitments it will transform the landscape – dramatically reducing greenhouse gas emissions and boosting renewable energy procurement, whilst creating the political space for governments to increase ambition.

has a strong track record delivering outcomes from multinational companies. We are

committed to offering equal opportunities in a diverse, flexible, family-friendly, supportive

Critically, you are a digital native. You understand how campaigns live and die on social platforms, how to build and activate online audiences, and how to use data to test, iterate and sharpen messaging in real time. You are confident navigating the rapidly changing media landscape and as comfortable crafting a social campaign as you are pitching a broadsheet journalist.

You know how to tell complex stories simply without losing rigour. You understand that both message and messenger matter, and you know how to target both to diverse audiences across different markets and cultures.

• Identify emerging opportunities and risks in the communications landscape

• Build and manage media contact databases

• Develop pitch content, press materials and key messaging

• Identify and capitalise on media moments

Management

• Manage external contractors and agency relationships

• Lead a diverse, distributed team

• Support spokespeople with messaging, briefings and media preparation

Selection criteria

Essential

• Demonstrated experience developing and executing communications strategies for international campaigns with measurable outcomes

• Strong digital campaign experience: social strategy, content, community building, analytics and paid amplification

• Demonstrated experience securing top-tier targeted media coverage across varied markets

• Experience crafting, testing and iterating topline messages

• Ability to communicate complex material clearly without sacrificing accuracy or credibility

• Comfortable leading a remote, globally distributed team

• Fluency in English. 

Desirable

• Experience working across diverse regions and stakeholder communities

• Experience with AV production and multimedia content

• Media training skills

• Familiarity with corporate climate accountability, energy transition or adjacent issue areas

What we offer

• A genuinely significant opportunity to shape a dynamic, fast-growing international organisation with strong connections to global philanthropy

• Work that matters — with a team that combines passion with rigour and a results-oriented approach

• Real autonomy to shape and develop your role over time

• A fully flexible, remote working environment

Please note that only shortlisted candidates will be contacted. All applications will be treated confidentially.
