THE JOB:
We need a Campaign Manager to start IMMEDIATELY on a county-wide race in the Capital District of New York State. The ideal candidate will have several cycles of experience and a demonstrated ability to lead energetic, highly-functional teams in campaigns against incumbents. You will be helping fulfill the long-sought, finally-attainable electoral goal of sweeping out an incumbent in order to elect a young, smart and driven leader. You will be making a tangible contribution to the causes of racial, social and economic justice.
REQUIREMENTS:
- Excellent organizational and communications abilities
- An ability to delegate responsibility, "trust but verify" and foster true empowerment of volunteers and staff
- A good sense of humor
- The ability to focus and not be distracted by a sometimes-hardball political culture
- An ability to involve and excite multiple, not-exclusively-overlapping stakeholders, and bring each to the table to help in a way that helps them feel empowered and invested
- A strong desire for progressive change
- The ability to hit the ground running and gracefully fold into the Petitioning process as it ramps up, then shepherd the campaign through a very hard-fought Primary
- The ability to effectively oversee staff, volunteer leaders and the candidate over a large number of departments, including Field, Finance, Mail, Messaging, Operations, and more
NOT REQUIRED:
- A college degree
SALARY:
- Competitive and negotiable, based on experience and overall fit
ABOUT YOU:
- People of color, women, people with disabilities and LGBTQ+ individuals are strongly encouraged to apply
- You want progressive change, and are excited to learn from a vibrant and roiling political reform community while leading it to a critical victory
