About Solarpunk Studio

Solarpunk Studio is a creative communications consultancy specializing in visual storytelling, branding, and digital strategy for environmentally-oriented science and tech fields. We work with leaders in renewable energy, conservation, climate tech, and forward-thinking agriculture to craft compelling narratives and strategic media that drive impact.

Location: We are based in beautiful Redding, CA, with occasional travel for client meetings and video shoots. Preference will be given to candidates local to NorCal, but we are open to a fully remote role for the right candidate.

Commitment: We are a young, scrappy, growing business. For now, this is a part-time role for a contract duration of six months (flexible hours, approx. 10-20 hours/week). In the right circumstances, this could become a full-time role that grows with you.

This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a fast-moving, creative environment, is highly organized, and has strong problem-solving skills. You will play a key role in keeping projects moving smoothly, handling day-to-day operations, and assisting with client-facing and internal creative work.
