About us

As you will know, wildfires are raging, floods are displacing tens of millions, tropical diseases are intensifying, crops are failing, and nature is collapsing. The emergency is just beginning.

At AimHi Earth, we’re working to slow and then reverse it - to bring human systems into line with the natural limits of our only home.

We combine technology,digital experience design and behavioural change science to deliver accessible, engaging and scalable online training experiences that rapidly shift mindsets and behaviours, upskilling and empowering people to take ownership and transform complex systems.

Our work has already changed the direction of companies, the kits of football players, the funding strategy of charities, the speeches of Olympic medallists, and the output of broadcasters. We are setting a global standard for rapid

.

We’re currently reaching thousands of people. We want you to help us to take that to millions.

We know that we need everyone, from every culture, industry and walk of life, to play their part in overcoming this unfolding catastrophe. To effectively play our own part, we want to be working with people as committed and dedicated to serving future generations (human and more-than-human) as we are.

What you’ll be doing

To start off with, your role will focus on:

Conducting desk-based research on the organisations we work with; in particular on their climate, sustainability and nature work.
Working with our existing training materials and weaving in client-specific references, links and language.
Crafting new organisation-specific content and weaving it into our extant training material.
Fine-tuning and proof-reading scripts ready for delivery by our team of presenters.
Updating and tweaking our existing scripts.

If all goes well, this role’s responsibilities will broaden, and we are open to it evolving into a fixed Climate & Nature Communications position.
Requirements

There are a number of qualities that will be essential for this role, including:

Ease in collaborating and co-creating - being open to receiving and incorporating constructive feedback.
Diligence and a keen eye for detail.

Strong problem-solving skills – to approach challenges critically, ask good questions and find innovative solutions by yourself and with others.

Nice to haves

Familiarity with the world of business sustainability (eg. ESG, SBTi, TCFD and other confusing acronyms!).
Experience with and/or interest in digital education, storytelling, psychology and systems-thinking.

Benefits
How we work

We take great pride in our people and our culture. We trust and admire one another, and we all share the same mission of turning around the climate and nature emergency through enabling the world to better understand it.

We aim to help all of our team members to do their best work, be themselves, and ultimately feel energised every Monday, so whilst this role will begin as a contractor role, and you therefore won’t have access to perks like a wellbeing budget and professional development, we are still able to offer you:

Flexible hours.
Remote working with a vibrant, international team, and a friendly, respectful, values-based culture.
The opportunity to connect with a larger community, via our memberships, fellowships and associations with local and global organisations.
The chance to become part of a fast-paced, rapidly growing start-up that’s changing the world for the better.
