Campaign Director, MoveOn (REMOTE)

[emeliem...@moveon.org]

CAMPAIGN DIRECTOR

Full-Time • Starts ASAP • Competitive Pay • Excellent Benefits

Work from Anywhere in the U.S.

MoveOn is a member-powered, grassroots, national progressive organization committed to campaigning for a society where everyone can thrive. Over the years ahead, we will confront Trump and the GOP’s attacks on our communities and our democracy; work to end the Trump presidency; elect bold, energizing leaders; and pave the way for progressive governing.

You will develop and run campaigns at MoveOn, driving high-impact, public-engaging efforts to involve our millions of members and the broader public in rapid-response moments and sharp strategic initiatives. This role coordinates and leverages MoveOn’s many functional teams to bring the full power of our social, mobile, field, communications, and other tools to bear on strategic campaign work. That might mean a multi-month campaign to defeat Trumpcare, calling for and leading a national mobilization against Trump’s fake national emergency, working with immigrant-led groups to block Trump’s wall, pushing Congress to vote to end U.S. support for the war in Yemen, or running tactics to infuse health care, gun violence, and family separation into the 2018 election.

This role is a premiere position in the broad progressive movement. MoveOn’s national Campaign Directors have driven work that’s changed the course of history—winning health care access for millions, stopping wars, curbing family separation policies—and have gone on, after MoveOn, to found and direct marquee organizations and serve as elected officials in public life. This is a remarkable position at the heart of MoveOn’s powerful team that allows you to strategize and to mobilize millions of people in defense of democracy, justice, and dignity for all.

Responsibilities

 

• Identify, develop and lead high-profile, high-impact, creative, digital-first campaigns and offline strategies that center equity and progressive values, tap into MoveOn member energy, harness credible theories of change, and have the capacity to propel national impact.

• Engage partner organizations, especially those representing impacted communities, to inform priorities and strategic direction for campaigns.

• Track breaking news and longer-term trends affecting organizational and campaign priorities.

• Write compelling emails and associated mobile, press, and social content that motivates members to take a range of actions.

• Lead internal cross-organizational working groups to execute all aspects of campaigns you direct; assess technical and creative needs for campaigns, and work with colleagues on the execution of these assets; direct contractors and consultants as needed.

• Learn and utilize the full range of MoveOn’s digital campaigning tools, including our email, mobile messaging, petition, call alert, event, and querying platforms.

• Participate as a member in a dynamic, committed, and passionate team, where you will move nimbly among campaigns, support the work of your colleagues, and lean on others for help.

 

 

Required Skills and Experience

 

• Experience leading digital campaigns that mobilize people online and offline, promote progressive values with a clear equity lens, and make change in the world.

• Experience with and deep commitment to applying anti-oppression frameworks,—especially with regard to racial, gender, and economic injustice—to work you have led. Ideal candidates would have worked with racial justice-oriented coalitions, organizations, and campaigns in the past.

• Strong writing skills.

• Ability and commitment to develop and nurture collaborative relationships with colleagues in a virtual office setting at MoveOn and with partner and allied organizations.

• Proven ability to collaboratively organize colleagues and partners around a project or campaign resulting in effective implementation, as well as experience managing staff or volunteers on multi-faceted projects.
