We are seeking a Campaign Project Manager (Corporate & Government Accountability of COVID Response Funding) to help us take the next steps in this important work. Note: This will be a 12-month, full-time, project manager position.
In its legislative responses to the Coronavirus pandemic, Congress allocated trillions of dollars for economic relief with limited conditions attached to the subsidies. These subsidies should protect public health, sustain enterprises, save jobs, help workers, and provide support for struggling individuals, families, and communities.
The Campaign Project Manager will act in a leadership role in multifaceted work, with staff and our partners, related to oversight of COVID-19 funding and programs, including the Treasury/Federal Reserve facilities. This will include working with and helping to build an effective coalition, coordination of research and policy products, and thinking creatively about narratives, policy handles, strategies and tactics for engaging diverse organizations, driving a public narrative, and taking on corporate abuses.
The Campaign Project Manager will also:
· Collaborate with AFR policy and communications staff, and with the policy and communications staff of coalition members, to develop and articulate compelling explanations of our goals, and to connect them to broader narratives about economic and racial justice.
· Work with other AFREF staff to produce high-quality research and campaign products, including reports and white papers, fact sheets, communications materials, and letters to Congress and regulators
· Monitor, track, review, and summarize regulatory and legislative developments and actions by AFR and our coalition partners
· Represent the organization in meetings with allies and policy makers
The successful candidates will possess:
· A strong commitment to economic and racial justice
· At least 5 years of organizing, issue campaign and/or policy advocacy experience
· Strong issue spotting, policy analysis and research skills
· Write effectively for a broad range of audiences, including translating complicated policy issues into laypersons language
