About Us

EarthPercent (registered charity number 1188391) is the music industry's climate and nature foundation. We believe music is one of the most influential cultural forces in the world: artists alongside the music industry have a unique ability to shape public conversation, raise funds and inspire action for life on Earth. At a time when the climate and nature crisis are one of the greatest challenges ever faced, we work to harness that influence for meaningful impact and culture change.

We invite artists and music organisations to support a growing fund for climate and nature solutions, enabling vital work around the world while building a stronger culture of action across the industry. Guided by our independent Expert Advisory Panels, we distribute funds to high-impact organisations that protect and restore nature, build more livable futures and support music. Since launching, we have distributed more than $2.5 million to 31 organisations with the support of over 400 artists, industry and music businesses. But our work is more than funding: its beating heart is this growing community who believe music can play a meaningful role in creating change and use their influence and art to do so.

About Artists4Earth Programme

Artists4Earth Programme is EarthPercent’s pilot artist engagement and development programme, aiming to support artists who create or wish to create music with and for the Earth, connect them to activists and organisations working to solve the crises and demonstrating to the industry the relevance and importance of these artists. It also feeds into the small but growing Artists4Earth community, an artist-led space moderated and supported by EarthPercent launched last year, that brings together planet-passionate musicians to connect and collaborate, and has a strong focus on finding and creating funding and wellbeing support for artists.

A central element of the programme is supporting community events, artist retreats, song camps, and a nature-focused music challenge. Other projects may also emerge as the programme develops. This coordinator role will support the full lifecycle of the programme, from helping ideate and administration through to logistics, supporting comms, documentation, and evaluation.

About The Role

We are looking for a self-sufficient, proactive and organised Programme Coordinator to support the planning and delivery of the Artists4Earth programme. This is a varied role sitting involving project management, communications, and admin. You will work closely with the EarthPercent team to help the programme run smoothly, managing different partners and collaborators, sorting out logistics, supporting communications, and helping to build the measurement foundations for the programme’s next phase.

The ideal candidate will be highly organised, a clear communicator, and comfortable working across multiple workstreams at the same time. You need to be confident in managing relationships with external partners, including artist/musicians, and suppliers, and bring a genuine interest in the intersection of arts, nature, and climate.

  • Support partner networks, maintaining relationships, coordinating shared activities, and acting as a key point of contact for partner organisations

  • Ensure compliance with relevant competition rules and data protection requirements throughout the prize process
