CAMPAIGN DIRECTOR
Full Time • Starts ASAP • Competitive Pay • Excellent Benefits
Work from Anywhere in the U.S.
MoveOn is a grassroots progressive force of millions of members with a central role to play in the Trump era. In our 20-year history, we have organized together to help build a country where everyone can thrive -- one marked by justice, sustainability, economic security, peace, and mutual care. We focus our resources on work that can have impact, and operate with a commitment to excellence, nimbleness, and equity.
As a pillar of the current Resistance movement, we are mobilizing opposition to Trump and the GOP's toxic agenda, including helping to lead efforts to defend health care, to stop any new U.S. wars, fighting for a Clean Dream Act, and opposing tax cuts for big corporations and the rich. We are determined to make the 2018 elections a turning point, helping Democrats win the House to create a roadblock to Trump & Republicans' ability to advance their toxic agenda, while electing new progressive champions who can help lead our country to a better future in races down ballot across the country.
MoveOn.org's campaign directors are high-level digital-first organizers 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 in the critical fights of this acutely dangerous political era.
Responsibilities: Execute excellent, high-profile, high-impact, digital-first campaigns.
You will proactively and aggressively find, develop, lead, and contribute to campaigns that tap MoveOn member energy, harness credible theories of change, and can propel national impact. You'll listen to members to determine what their priorities are, track breaking news and longer-term trends affecting our shared priorities, steer comprehensive strategies to achieve impact, and run a range of online and real-world actions.
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 and tactics 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, passionate 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 set up and 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.
