CAMPAIGN DIRECTOR
Full Time • Starts ASAP • Competitive Pay • Excellent Benefits
Work from Anywhere in the U.S.
MoveOn.org is a community of millions of members working together to create progressive change in America. We take on campaigns to challenge entrenched power and push back against right-wing policies, while pursuing economic, racial, and social justice.
With the heightened political energy of the election year ahead, 2016 is a year of fierce fights and big opportunities.
MoveOn.org's campaign directors are high-level operatives who identify, develop, and execute high-impact and game-changing campaigns that empower MoveOn members to achieve concrete victories and further a progressive agenda. We are looking for experienced, passionate, inventive, collaborative colleagues to expand the team.
Responsibilities: Execute excellent, high-profile, high-impact campaigns.
You will proactively and aggressively find, develop, lead, and contribute to campaigns that tap member energy, boast credible theories of change, and have national impact. You'll be involved in every step of the process, from drafting plans to executing them. You'll be involved in listening to members to determine what their priorities are, running a range of online and real-world actions, and sharing a comprehensive, transparent strategy with your colleagues.
You will write, write, write. You will write compelling, well-documented emails that motivate members to take a range of actions. You will write thorough campaign plans that include strategies for engaging and empowering members, working constructively with allies, making effective use of MoveOn staff and resources, and accomplishing concrete, ambitious goals. You will write reportbacks about your work on a regular basis to communicate with members, partners, media, and your colleagues.
You will show your leadership in managing relationships with colleagues in a collaborative setting, managing the MoveOn member experience, and managing resources that help get the job done. You'll assess needs for technical and creative support, and you'll work directly with contractors and consultants. And you will build relationships with allies across the progressive movement and beyond to expand the reach of your campaigns.
You will learn and utilize the full range of MoveOn tools—including, but not limited to, our email system, petitions, call alerts, event platform, and database—and keep learning as new tools come into existence or as you devise new tactics yourself.
You will be a member of a dynamic, committed, opinionated team, where you will nimbly move among campaigns, support the work of your colleagues, and lean on others for help as well. You will offer top-line and in-line feedback on colleagues' campaign plans, emails, and other drafts, and you'll pitch in to help our small team accomplish great things.
You will bring your own experience, relationships, and areas of focus into the mix to help devise and drive campaigns, while taking on new areas outside of your expertise and bringing them into your portfolio.
Required skills and experience:
Experience leading campaigns that mobilize people, promote progressive values, and make change in the world
Strong writing skills for a popular audience
Commitment to listening to and empowering members
Nimbleness—to move among campaigns, tasks, and strategies
Self-directedness—MoveOn is a virtual office, and while you will interact with your colleagues constantly, you will be driving your own workflow and output.
Attention to detail
The ability to engage with constructive feedback from colleagues and participate in honest staff dialogue
Comfort in learning the suite of MoveOn technology tools—You will learn to code your own emails, launch your own petitions, and work deeply in queries within our database.
Team spirit—We punch above our weight. To have the impact we do with a relatively small team requires people working together, trusting each other, communicating honestly, and pitching in on all major projects, as well as on tasks large and small.
