About Community Change and Community Change Action:
Community Change builds the power and capacity of low-income people, especially low-income people of color, to lead powerful and dynamic movements for social change. With our community-based partner groups, we bridge the grassroots and the national, supporting outsider strategies to disrupt the status quo while also building pathways to influence the insider conversation.
Our vision of a better world centers the leadership of impacted people of color to move our work on immigrant rights, economic justice, and racial equity, including a focus on jobs and housing, early childhood care and education, income supports, and immigration reform.
This position also supports Community Change Action, an affiliated 501(c)(4) advocacy organization. While motivated by the same core values – equity, inclusion, and justice – Community Change and Community Change Action operate independently of each another, and each organization has its own board of directors.
Position Description:
The Executive Coordinator will provide support to the Co-President and Senior Advisor to the Co-President with particular emphasis on scheduling, travel, management of administrative tasks, planning, and project coordination on special projects and/or initiatives. This position will also provide backup support to the broader Executive Office, and play a key role in promoting a sustainable, professional, organized, and collaborative atmosphere.
The Executive Coordinator is an innovative self-starter, who takes initiative and drives projects and tasks to completion. The individual thrives in a fast-paced environment, demonstrates extremely strong time management, and can work both independently with minimal supervision and collaboratively as part of a team. The individual must exercise extreme discretion as they will handle confidential information and manage highly sensitive internal and external communications, demonstrate good judgment, be adaptive, flexible, and highly trustworthy.
A portion of time will be spent working with Community Change’s sister organization, Community Change Action.
