New York City Council Member Brad Lander is hiring three full-time organizers for his run for New York City Comptroller. One of the organizers should have fluent or near-fluent Spanish-language skills; please indicate in the subject line if you fit this description. The positions will start in January and run at least through the June 22, 2021 Democratic Primary in New York City.
Brad is running a bold, progressive campaign with the goal of using the tools of the New York City Comptroller's office to achieve a just and durable recovery from the COVID-19 crisis, make city government work better, and build a more equitable and sustainable city that reflects our shared values and accounts for our future (more on Brad here).
We are looking for organizers as we build our campaign team (of 10 staff plus consultants) who reflect our commitment to organizing, to strategic action to win progressive change, and to anti-racist and feminist values.
The organizers will work with the Campaign Manager & Field Director to reach out to New Yorkers in every neighborhood, and to manage the work of our great and growing team of volunteers and supporters. We are looking for smart, creative, hard-working team players, with some experience in on-the-ground and/or digital organizing. Some time spent working in NYC's diverse communities preferred but not necessary. We want staff members who can work in a fast-paced environment, with a generous and collaborative approach.
To apply, email brad@landerfornyc.com
