Hours: 20 per week
Pay: 20,000 per year
Location: Remote
Rural Turnout Organization is currently seeking a part-time Finance Director with experience fundraising for democratic/progressive campaigns or organizations.
Who We Are
Our mission as an organization is to increase the turnout rate among Democrats outside metropolitan areas. Currently, there is an unmet need when it comes to voter turnout canvassing in towns too small or too remote for traditional office-based voter turnout operations. We aim to fix that by introducing a mobile canvassing operation and thereby help Democrats succeed in rural areas in local, state, and national elections. You can find out more info at ruralturnout.org.
The Position
We are currently a startup with a small budget, so we do not have the financial capacity to pay any employees at the moment. Until such a time as when staff can be fairly compensated for their work, all hours are flexible under the understanding that everyone's day jobs need to take priority, as long as the necessary work gets done. As soon as we have the funding to begin paying staff the Finance Director will become the first paid position at 20,000 dollars a year with the expectation of 20 hours a week. This salary can be negotiated. In addition, there is the opportunity to expand this into a full-time position when finances allow.
As Finance Director your job would be to create and execute a fundraising strategy sufficient to run a modest proof of concept field experiment in Virginia in 2021 and a larger program for the 2022 midterms.
Needed Characteristics
Fundraising experience
Experience working with or for democratic/progressive groups and causes
The ability to work effectively remotely.
Acceptance of the risks and challenges involved in working in a startup that may never get off the ground if sufficient funding is not brought in.
Readiness to take initiative in creating and running the fundraising program.
Ability to manage a small group of fundraising interns
The Rural Turnout Organization has a zero-tolerance policy toward bigotry in any form and is committed to building an inclusive and diverse workplace. Everyone hired needs to believe in these goals.
