Ready to take on some of the most powerful forces in our society? We’re looking for a Managing Director to join a fierce, smart team challenging global corporations, holding them accountable, and creating a world where all people can thrive.
In our 40 year track record, Corporate Accountability has worked in deep partnership with organizers and activists from around the world to run powerful corporate campaigns. From exposing the abuses of the private water industry in partnership with allies on the ground in Lagos, Nigeria to Flint, Michigan, to standing up to tobacco transnationals for promoting and profiting off of a product that continues to put the health of millions at risk, our long-term strategic campaigns have successfully put people power over profits.
Sound exciting? Well that’s where you come in! We are looking for a Managing Director of the organization, focusing on our campaign work, to ensure we have the biggest possible impact, are rooted in values of equity and justice, and are set up for success in the future. You will be an executive leader within the organization, working alongside our Executive Director and two other Managing Directors. Holding the whole of our campaigns work, you will manage an experienced and diverse team of corporate campaigners, providing strategic direction and management towards campaign success and impact.
Rooted in your experience working in equitable partnership with Global South, frontline, and grassroots communities — and grounded in cultural humility, you will partner with our campaign leadership and teams in the U.S., Latin America, and Africa to directly take on some of the most destructive industries on the planet, building power and leadership for the broader corporate accountability movement. Additionally, you will hold key relationships with allies, thought leaders, and key members of the media, advancing our messaging across platforms. The results of your collective work to dismantle and disrupt the corporate status quo—from the halls of the U.N. to acting in solidarity with communities on the frontlines—will move us toward a world free of corporate abuse, where all people can thrive.
Who you are
The rampant abuses of corporations and the outrageous amount of power they have make you mad as hell -- and you have experience working on campaigns that directly challenge corporate power and abuse.
You have a commitment to advancing racial equity and ending systems of oppression, and are ready to do this in your day-to-day work. You understand that campaigning for justice must include working to dismantle white supremacy, institutional racism, legacies of colonialism, and anti-Blackness.
You are a great staff manager, bringing over 5+ years of experience in staff management to the role. You bring out the best in your team and manage staff towards their goals drawing from your experience in designing effective work plans based on available capacity. You also know how to establish structure and clarity of roles and responsibilities within your team, ensuring organizational capacities align with team success. And you have demonstrated attention to cultural humility, successfully working with people from a wide range of backgrounds, geographies, and cultural contexts.
You know what it takes to manage from a place of senior leadership. Simply put, you know how to effectively bridge the gap between your team’s work and success and how that adds up to supporting the overall priorities of the organization. And you know that managing an organization also means navigating changing conditions with grace, making hard decisions, and having hard conversations—and the best way to do so is with openness, fairness, and input from others.
You know that achieving any goal requires a well-considered plan with a timeline. And you’ve got the skills to create plans that are highly efficient, strategic, and creative. You know how to take into consideration the context (political, organizational, etc.) and people involved, and work with what’s available to create the best plan possible. But you don’t keep this valuable skill to yourself: you also have significant experience in supporting others to create plans and processes toward achieving goals, and have a clear sense of how processes and tactics add up to impact.
You’re a skilled facilitator. You can guide a group of diverse participants through a conversation or process that builds on shared goals and works toward strategic outcomes. Drawing from experience in conflict resolution, you know how to navigate and interrupt power dynamics so all participants can engage meaningfully.
You have 10+ years of experience in organizing, and a significant portion of that experience is in corporate campaigning. You also have experience overseeing program budgets and in fundraising for a program. Additional experience in building grassroots people power, organizing, and training is preferred, as well as prior experience working in media.
What you’ll be responsible for in the day-to-day
In partnership with our Executive Director and two Managing Directors, you will lead and strategize at the organizational management level.
Manage and oversee seasoned campaigners on our Climate , Water , and Tobacco campaigns toward high-functioning and aligned corporate campaigning, grounded in our anti-racist values and commitments, through strategic guidance, progress assessment, feedback loops, and troubleshooting as needed.
Work to build trust, cohesion, and alignment between your staff/team and the organization’s leadership through developing and strengthening internal coordination systems as well as overseeing strong coordination between the campaigns, research, development, and communications teams.
Work in close coordination with our communications team to ensure our corporate campaigns integrate and implement communications campaign strategies and tactics.
Manage relationships with key funders and partner with fundraisers to ensure they have what they need, including external messaging on campaign plans and strategy.
Support team leaders to build a shared understanding of organizational priorities and budgets, providing support across programs you oversee to manage program budgets, while maximizing their strategic impact. Additionally, play a lead role in our annual organizational planning process and ensure campaign plans and goals align behind our annual organizational plans and budgets, mission, and vision.
Build and hold relationships with organizational allies to develop and seize opportunities to build international visibility and solidarity for Corporate Accountability’s campaigns and stand in solidarity with frontline justice struggles around the world.
Facilitate strategic planning meetings, and support campaigns staff as they do so, in partnership with our allies—keeping an eye towards racial equity, and ensuring we have the long-term and short-term vision, strategy, goals, and plans to advance an integrated campaigns agenda.
Represent the organization at ally convenings, campaign events, coalition spaces, and as an organizational spokesperson in the media.
Travel 2 - 4 times each year to represent Corporate Accountability at events such as international treaty meetings or national campaigns events. We will continue to be mindful of global health concerns and continue to center the health and safety of our staff in travel decisions.
Actively participate in organization-wide planning, fundraising, racial equity work, recruitment, and campaign activities.
Salary and benefits:
Salary range: $100,535 - $128,715 in alignment with recent updates to our salary and compensation protocols.
Hours: Corporate Accountability’s full-time staff generally work 32 hours per week, with periods of more intensive work that correspond with the ebb and flow nature of campaigns or projects throughout the year. Our core hours are 10 am - 4 pm on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, with flexibility to determine your remaining hours of the week in coordination with your supervisor and team. Given the nature of campaigning, rapid response moments, and working with organizers and activists at an international organization, there will be instances where you would need to be available outside of standard business hours.
Our comprehensive benefit package includes: health insurance (with 90% of the premium for all tiers covered by the organization) and dental coverage (with 100% of the individual premium covered by the organization and the option to add dependents at an additional cost); $40/month home office stipend with $250 provided at the time of hire to go towards setting up a home office; FSA for transit, health care, and dependent care; and 401(k) with employer match.
Generous time off policies including one month of personal vacation time, one week of office closure for collective rest, holidays, and unlimited wellness days to prioritize health.
Both internal and external training and leadership development opportunities.
Energetic, collaborative, and social campaign environment.
Location :
Remote based role with the expectation of travel to our campaign headquarters in Boston at least 2-3 times a year.
We are looking for great candidates from a wide range of backgrounds. If you don’t exactly fit the job description, but you know you have skills and experiences that are transferable to this position, please apply! Tell us about yourself and why you should be our next Managing Director.
To apply: Visit www.corporateaccountability.org/employment-opportunities. Attach your résumé to the online application and include a cover letter. Please include where you heard about the position. [insert language regarding rolling applications: Given the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and our current capacity to process applications, we will be responding on a rolling basis and therefore might take between 2 – 4 weeks to respond to your application.
Corporate Accountability stops transnational corporations from devastating democracy, perpetuating systemic racism, trampling human rights, and destroying our planet. We are building a world rooted in justice where corporations answer to people, not the other way around -- a world where every person has access to clean water, healthy food, a safe place to live, and the opportunity to reach their full human potential.
Corporate Accountability is an equal opportunity employer and an inclusive organization. Black, Brown, Indigenous people and people of color, women, nonbinary people, LGBTQ+ and disabled folks are strongly encouraged to apply.

Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee
The Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee (DLCC) is the official party committee dedicated to electing Democrats to state legislatures. Since 2016, the DLCC and state partners have built eight new majorities and flipped seats from red to blue across the country – paving the way for progress. State legislatures pass the policies that most affect Americans’ day-to-day lives, and flipping chambers from red to blue has an outsized impact on governing and public policy.
Taking back power starts at the local level. The DLCC recruits, trains, and supports local Democrats running for their state legislatures. We provide our candidates with the resources, field support, and data necessary to run smart, winning campaigns. By gaining a foothold in state legislatures, Democrats can engage supporters across the country and prepare for victories in statewide and national elections.
We’re powered by more than 200,000 supporters from all 50 states. Over 98% of our contributions come from grassroots donors (giving an average of $29), who fuel thousands of local Democratic candidates across the country.
Building up Democratic majorities in the states is more important than ever. With right-wing radicals proliferating in state legislatures across the country and key issues like reproductive choice, LGBTQ+ equality, and voting rights being decided in the states, our democracy is on the line. We’re counting on our supporters to get educated, involved, and take action in their communities.
The DLCC compensates employees competitively and provides a very generous benefits package. We believe in work-life balance and understand that every employee has unique circumstances at home. We offer employees significant amounts of time off as well as flexible work options. We’re dedicated to treating one another with respect in the workplace and prioritize racial equity and inclusion (REI) in our work with one another as well as with our stakeholders.
Development Director/Senior Development Director
The Development Director/Senior Development Director is responsible for all aspects of the Major and Mid-Level Gifts fundraising for the DLCC, which includes high- and mid-level individual donors, foundations, and organizational giving. The Development Director/Senior Development Director reports to the Vice President, Finance and works closely with the President to be innovative, creative, risk-tolerant, and results-focused. The major gifts team raises funds ($1,000 and above) through personal solicitation and occasional events.
The DLCC is located in Washington, DC, and our office has taken on a hybrid model for staff effective January 2022. This position would ideally be based in the Eastern or Central time zones, though others may be considered.
The Development Director/Senior Development Director is expected to model the values of the DLCC:
CREDIBILITY: We are respected and trusted in words and actions.
INCLUSIVE: The DLCC values the unique experience and perspective of all who work here. We strive to make all contributors feel welcomed, valued, and respected. We focus on outcomes, recognizing different people approach opportunities and challenges differently.
INITIATIVE: We exhibit high levels of creativity in our work and need all team members to proactively contribute ideas to move our work forward.
RESULTS DRIVEN: Our team undertakes projects professionally and executes them fully and to completion.
RISK: We identify opportunities to employ new ideas and tactics, and execute these ideas when we believe the potential reward outweighs the risk. We evaluate, learn, and improve our strategy, both when the risks pay off and when they do not.
TEAMWORK: We work collaboratively, additively, and in sync with our colleagues. Our individual work considers the needs, capacity, and expertise of those we work alongside.
Responsibilities
Develop and manage the national major and mid-level gifts plan and programs, including a major and mid-level gifts fundraising plan, collateral, and call time plan.
Managing external fundraising consultants.
Manage in-house major gifts staff with the authority to delegate mid-level gifts.
Build and maintain relationships with donors and external partners.

Full time
Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee
The Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee (DLCC) is the official party committee dedicated to electing Democrats to state legislatures. Since 2016, the DLCC and state partners have built eight new majorities and flipped seats from red to blue across the country – paving the way for progress. State legislatures pass the policies that most affect Americans’ day-to-day lives, and flipping chambers from red to blue has an outsized impact on governing and public policy.
Taking back power starts at the local level. The DLCC recruits, trains, and supports local Democrats running for their state legislatures. We provide our candidates with the resources, field support, and data necessary to run smart, winning campaigns. By gaining a foothold in state legislatures, Democrats can engage supporters across the country and prepare for victories in statewide and national elections.
We’re powered by more than 200,000 supporters from all 50 states. Over 98% of our contributions come from grassroots donors (giving an average of $29), who fuel thousands of local Democratic candidates across the country.
Building up Democratic majorities in the states is more important than ever. With right-wing radicals proliferating in state legislatures across the country and key issues like reproductive choice, LGBTQ+ equality, and voting rights being decided in the states, our democracy is on the line. We’re counting on our supporters to get educated, involved, and take action in their communities.
The DLCC compensates employees competitively and provides a very generous benefits package. We believe in work-life balance and understand that every employee has unique circumstances at home. We offer employees significant amounts of time off as well as flexible work options. We’re dedicated to treating one another with respect in the workplace and prioritize racial equity and inclusion (REI) in our work with one another as well as with our stakeholders.

The take-away
Ready to take on some of the most powerful forces in our society? We’re looking for a Public Health Organizer to join a fierce, smart team challenging global corporations, holding them accountable, and creating a world where all people can thrive.
Why you’ll love coming to work every day
You’ll help change the world by being part of fearless and winning campaigns while working alongside a team of passionate, smart, and strategic corporate campaigners. You’ll be joining an organization that’s not satisfied with the world as it is—and has a vision for how it should be. When your quest is ending corporate abuse, you can’t be afraid to name names and demand what the world needs. For more than 40 years, we’ve been exposing and challenging the abuses of the likes of Nestlé, Exxon Mobil, Philip Morris International, McDonald’s, and more. We don’t back down, and we run campaigns until we win.
You can take on big responsibilities as you go. At Corporate Accountability, you’ll be trusted and relied upon to operate at a high level of responsibility. You’ll thrive here as you develop new skills, tackle new challenges, learn, and grow. We pay lots of attention to building staff leadership, and we provide support and training to help you become the best leader you can be.
You’ll be part of an organization committed to advancing racial equity and transforming systems of oppression. We are deeply committed to prioritizing the leadership of people who bear the brunt of corporate abuse: Black and Indigenous people and other people of color, women, low-income people, people in the Global South, and LGBTQ+ folks around the world. Our unique culture has been fostered by a long history of women at the helm. We are actively focusing on the leadership of our staff of color, knowing we are stronger when the organization reflects the vision of the world we’re building together.
What you’ll do
Corporate Accountability’s meticulous campaign development, strategic corporate research, and collaborative organizing with allies, especially from the Global South, are at the core of what keeps our campaigns focused and winning big over the long term. Your role will be to help drive forward two of our campaigns that actively engage with public health issues: our food and tobacco campaigns. Our food campaign focuses on the agribusiness, food, and beverage industries—challenging transnational corporations like Coca-Cola, PepsiCo, and McDonald’s, that for decades have been the key engines behind the breakdown of our food systems and the epidemic of diet-related diseases. Our tobacco campaign challenges the tobacco industry’s commercial interests in undermining the health and wellbeing of people and the planet. Additionally, you will also provide research and organizing support for campaigns such as water, climate, democracy, and our Black Collective initiatives, as needed.
You’ll navigate the ever-changing conditions of a corporate campaigning while keeping a close eye on factual accuracy and conceptual analysis represented in our communications, fundraising, and campaign activities. You’ll research and play a role in campaign development that breaks new ground in our food and other campaigns, and keeps our tactics on track. And you’ll ensure our publications are reflective of our values and fact-checked with the same fine eye for detail. Through it all, you’ll be working hand in hand with a passionate team of researchers and organizers. Your success in this role will ensure that we are implementing the smartest strategies and tactics to confront corporations’ abuse and manipulation of public health holistically.
You’ll draw on — and build — Corporate Accountability’s deep, decades-long relationships with people and institutions around the world. You will help coordinate the alliances between Global South and Global North civil society and other actors from the fields of human rights, public policy, and corporate accountability for knowledge exchange and learning vis-a-vis model policies and campaigns that are effectively challenging corporate control of and interference in public health in general.
Who you are
The rampant abuses of corporations and the outrageous amount of power they have make you mad as hell — and you want to do something about it.
You understand that changing the imbalance of power in the world, its inherent racial and gender injustice, and the oppression people of color experience is central to your work for justice. You have a commitment to advancing racial equity and transforming systems of oppression.
You’ve got the rigorous, fact-focused, detail-oriented brain of a researcher, as well as passion for collaborative organizing and social movement work.
You are fully fluent in English-language reading, writing, and speaking along with strong Spanish language skills, with a minimum of strong reading and writing proficiency and a desirability for speaking fluency as well. What does that mean? You can distill a complex policy paper in a succinct and lucid memo in both languages — and then explain the content to someone who doesn't know much about the topic clearly.
You believe in the power of relationship-based organizing to change the world—and you have some experience mobilizing and activating people on issues you care about. You approach your work from a place of respect for people’s inherent power, agency, and ability to create change.
You are willing to travel four to six times each year to represent Corporate Accountability at conferences, U.N. gatherings, and corporate shareholders’ meetings. Our current approach to travel is staff-led, meaning we will continue to center the health and safety of our staff in these decisions.
You honor the remote work system by being accountable to yourself and your team, taking initiative on projects, and remaining agile as circumstances change externally and internally. You adjust to the world and workplace changes easily.
You have at least three to five years of organizing locally, regional or globally and have research experience (strategic corporate research, policy analysis, and/or academic-style research), ideally at a campaign-oriented organization related to food justice, food and nutrition policies, public health, or food economies.
What you’ll be responsible for in the day-to-day
Conduct monitoring, research, and analysis on transnational corporate activities, industry trends, and changing political climates to drive forward campaign plans. Synthesize all of this information into clear, compelling written content that could take the form of memos, reports, publications, or internal updates.
Mobilize people across the world to action, specifically in target regions, as a critical step to advancing the goals of our campaign . Play a lead role in outreach and relationship-building with strategic partners, particularly from the Global South, among others, as a key to challenging the food, beverage, and agriculture industry.
Foster and build strong, reciprocal relationships with frontline activists, government officials, experts in the public health space, and organizational allies across the world while supporting campaign development, leading organizing, and collaborating on media and communications work.
Speaking of relationships, you will work closely with our foundations team to build relationships with donors and foundations, discussing some of the most pressing issues facing our society and how our campaigns are addressing them.
Participate in the development of innovative strategies and tactics to challenge the abuses of transnational corporations as it pertains to public health, in close collaboration with the research unit and with other teams in the organization, including organizing virtual events, partnering with allies, helping develop campaign related publications and other resources.
Create campaign action materials and toolkits as necessary under the guidance of the Director of Research and Policy or its delegates. Plan, develop, and design materials and toolkits to assist activists and strategic partners in the implementation of campaign goals across regions and scale.
Coordinate shareholder advocacy work focused on food, beverage, and tobacco corporations among others.
Participate in organization-wide planning, fundraising, recruitment, office administration, and campaign activities.
Salary and benefits:
Salary range : $52,500 to $55,100, commensurate with experience.
Hours: Corporate Accountability’s full-time staff generally work 32 hours per week, with periods of more intensive work that correspond with the ebb and flow nature of campaigns or projects throughout the year. Our core hours are 10 am - 4 pm Eastern Standard Time on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, with flexibility to determine your remaining hours of the week in coordination with your supervisor and team. Given the nature of campaign and organizing work at an international organization, there will be instances where you would need to be available outside of standard business hours.
Our comprehensive benefit package includes health insurance (with 90% of the premium for all tiers covered by the organization) and dental coverage (with 100% of the individual premium covered by the organization and the option to add dependents at an additional cost); FSA for transit, health care, and dependent care; and 401(k) with employer match.
Generous time off policies including one month of personal vacation time, one week of an office closure for collective rest, holidays, and unlimited wellness days to prioritize health.
Both internal and external training and leadership development opportunities.
Energetic, collaborative, and social campaign environment.
Location : This will be a remote position with the option to work hybrid, or eventually transition into our campaign headquarters in downtown Boston. As an organization, we are moving in the direction of enabling our staff to live and work from wherever their personal circumstances take them. Once on-boarded, there will be a more formalized process regarding permanent remote work.
We are looking for great candidates from a wide range of backgrounds. If you don’t exactly fit the job description, but you know you have skills and experiences that are transferable to this position, please apply! Tell us about yourself and why you should be our next Public Health Organizer!
To apply: Visit www.corporateaccountability.org/employment-opportunities. Attach your résumé to the online application and include a short cover letter answering why you are interested in working at Corporate Accountability in this role. Please include where you first heard about the position.

We are building a world rooted in justice where corporations answer to people, not the other way around -- a world where every person has access to clean water, healthy food, a safe place to live, and the opportunity to reach their full human potential.
Corporate Accountability is an equal opportunity employer and an inclusive organization. People of color, women, and LGBTQ people are strongly encouraged to apply. Join more than 60 smart and driven staff and interns working in this dynamic organization with a powerful network of members and allies around the world.

Global Zero seeks a talented and creative digital communications, campaigning, and mobilizing strategist who is committed to ending the existential threat posed by nuclear weapons and building a safer and more prosperous future for all.
The Director of Digital Engagement will be the linchpin in the development of a digital full-court press that expands our audiences across multiple platforms, strengthens our ability to raise funds online, and amplifies our message that urgent action is needed to reduce and ultimately eliminate nuclear weapons globally. In this position, you will leverage the smarts of small but powerful policy and advocacy teams, a global community of senior political leaders, military commanders and national security experts, a growing group of young volunteer activists, a widely recognized and respected international brand, and 501(c)(3) and (c)(4) capabilities. You’ll help us combine creative and bold campaigns with sharp visuals, engaging content, and clear messages that break through, and equip our supporters with the information and digital tools they need to speak truth to power and keep the pressure on decision-makers to act.
Background
Global Zero is undertaking a radical reimagining of its work to build an international movement to delegitimize, defund, and dismantle all nuclear weapons everywhere. We’re building a brand new operating system for our advocacy operations, and we want you at the table to help ensure that cutting-edge digital engagement is a major pillar of our strategy.
We don’t believe security can be built on constant threats of mass destruction. We reject the Cold War narrative that tells us to accept the enormous risks these weapons pose to our communities and our planet. We refuse to be complicit in the undemocratic, unjust, and terrifyingly absolute power to kill hundreds of millions of people at the push of a button. And we will not stand idly by while a small group of governments pour trillions of dollars into a new generation of nuclear weapons and pursue dangerous plans that make global catastrophe all but inevitable.
The Job
We can’t persuade governments to take bold action if we don’t expand our audience and win the story wars — and you're going to help us do it.
This is a rare opportunity to take a leading role at a high-profile and influential organization working at every level to rid the world of nuclear weapons and change the global security paradigm for the better — and at a moment of institutional reimagining and transformation. In this position, you’ll report to Global Zero’s CEO as part of the core leadership team, and will be responsible for shaping the digital vision and delivering on growth and engagement objectives. You will bring to the table current experience with digital innovation and a history of engaging online audiences in important policy debates, channeling interest and outrage into action (online and offline), and winning campaigns, as well as strong message development, writing, and management skills.
The Director of Digital Engagement will lead the following key activities to raise the profile of our issue and organization, expand our reach and build strength over time:
Online Advocacy : Develop and implement online advocacy strategies, and design and execute plans to grow and leverage social media audiences, email lists, and website traffic.
Digital Marketing : Oversee all aspects of online public engagement and community management, assure consistent communication of organizational values and policy positions, and design and execute digital communication/marketing plans for Global Zero initiatives.
Content Management : Create a comprehensive institutional and programmatic digital marketing plan and calendar. Serve as project manager for all digital communications deliverables including email, social media content and ads, and digital campaigns.
Messaging : Help develop and drive messaging direction for online campaigns, including drafting long-range narratives and rapid response.
Leadership : Bring strong leadership, organizational development experience, and management acumen to our senior management team, and an affinity for mentoring junior and mid-level staff.
Collaboration : Work across teams and in deep collaboration with partners to help them develop communications, digital, and engagement strategies to achieve mutual objectives and growth.
Transformation : Advocate for creative digital communications thinking and innovative approaches to storytelling and engagement at all levels of the organization.
It’s a big job and you’ll be holding a lot on your own at the beginning. If all goes as planned this year, you’ll be tasked with hiring and managing 1-2 digital staff as we steadily scale up our operations. Digital is an area that is chronically misunderstood, undervalued, and underfunded in the broader nuclear field, and your success is going to help us change that.
You
Are a creative and resourceful strategist who understands the unique power and potential of digital outreach, marketing and advocacy, and knows what it takes to break out and break through;
Have a deep understanding of strategic communications, campaigning, mobilization, and direct action, and ability to express and share that knowledge with others;
Take ownership of and initiative in everything you do, and understand how to work in a team;
Are entrepreneurial and intellectually curious by nature, as well as analytical and technologically savvy;
Enjoy writing, editing, and developing long-range narratives that inform, inspire, and activate;
Are enthusiastic about experimenting and learning from mistakes, but also respect metrics and outcomes;
Can prioritize in a fast-paced work environment and stay calm, steady, and upbeat;
Can see the big picture without losing sight of important details;
Are a natural people-person who fosters trust and knows how to mentor junior and mid-level staff; and
Are eager to help shape a stronger and more intentional culture of impact, trust, empathy, and belonging.
Your Record
Up-to-date background in all aspects of a modern digital engagement position, with minimum 5 years experience working in increasingly leadership-oriented digital strategy roles;
Strong understanding of digital analytics, including ability to collect, analyze, and interpret data to guide data-informed decision-making;
Experience using some (or all) of the online platforms currently employed, including but not limited to Action Network, WordPress, and social media channels.
Values-based message development, writing, and research/testing skills;
Digital communications, storytelling, and channel management expertise;
Strong executive-level communications and marketing skills, interpersonal communications, and persuasion skills; and
A commitment to integrity, inclusion, compassion, and totally crushing it on the job.
Bonus!
Do you have other skills that we should know about? Here are a few things we think are great but not required:
Experience building and leveraging an influencer outreach program to grow the profile and connections of Global Zero staff, movement leaders, and experts;
Great eye for compelling visuals and design;
Witty GIF-master and meme-machine;
Subject matter expertise in peace and security, international affairs and/or nuclear weapons; and, finally,
Willing to split a pizza with almost any topping (except ham and pineapple, gross).
The Setup
Full-time exempt position with occasionally intense but generally humane hours;
$90,000 salary and generous benefits package including 6 weeks paid leave, 12 weeks parental leave, fully-covered health insurance, 10% retirement contributions (on top of salary), green commuting expenses and/or remote work support (e.g., phone/internet reimbursements), professional development expenses, and other benefits;
Remote-first operation headquartered in Washington, DC, hiring from any geographic location; and
Talented, compassionate, and occasionally hilarious colleagues to dig in with.
How To Apply
We are looking for someone who is comfortable working both independently and in teams, highly responsive, and able to lead initiatives as well as take direction from others. If that’s you, please click here to submit a cover letter, resume, and samples of your work.
Nuclear weapons threaten every person on Earth and disproportionately harm women and communities of color — and our work must reflect that fact. Global Zero is committed to cultivating and supporting a workplace rooted in the values of diversity, equity, justice, and belonging. We understand continuous learning, meaningful reflection, radical candor, and leading by example in our interactions with others both within and outside our organization are vital to achieve our goals and foster a safe work environment for everyone. We provide structured and unstructured opportunities for anti-bias development and growth to staff and volunteers and build just and proactive organizational policies to ensure we are living our truth in all we do as an organization — and in partnership with the broader movements in which we operate.
We're committed to building a diverse and inclusive movement and recognize that's impossible without first building a diverse and inclusive leadership team. We welcome applications from all, and especially encourage those who have been traditionally sidelined from nuclear policy and advocacy — including women, people of color, people with disabilities, immigrants, refugees, and LGBTQ people — to apply. We can't wait to hear from you!
May 11, 2021
Full time
Global Zero seeks a talented and creative digital communications, campaigning, and mobilizing strategist who is committed to ending the existential threat posed by nuclear weapons and building a safer and more prosperous future for all.
The Director of Digital Engagement will be the linchpin in the development of a digital full-court press that expands our audiences across multiple platforms, strengthens our ability to raise funds online, and amplifies our message that urgent action is needed to reduce and ultimately eliminate nuclear weapons globally. In this position, you will leverage the smarts of small but powerful policy and advocacy teams, a global community of senior political leaders, military commanders and national security experts, a growing group of young volunteer activists, a widely recognized and respected international brand, and 501(c)(3) and (c)(4) capabilities. You’ll help us combine creative and bold campaigns with sharp visuals, engaging content, and clear messages that break through, and equip our supporters with the information and digital tools they need to speak truth to power and keep the pressure on decision-makers to act.
Background
Global Zero is undertaking a radical reimagining of its work to build an international movement to delegitimize, defund, and dismantle all nuclear weapons everywhere. We’re building a brand new operating system for our advocacy operations, and we want you at the table to help ensure that cutting-edge digital engagement is a major pillar of our strategy.
We don’t believe security can be built on constant threats of mass destruction. We reject the Cold War narrative that tells us to accept the enormous risks these weapons pose to our communities and our planet. We refuse to be complicit in the undemocratic, unjust, and terrifyingly absolute power to kill hundreds of millions of people at the push of a button. And we will not stand idly by while a small group of governments pour trillions of dollars into a new generation of nuclear weapons and pursue dangerous plans that make global catastrophe all but inevitable.
The Job
We can’t persuade governments to take bold action if we don’t expand our audience and win the story wars — and you're going to help us do it.
This is a rare opportunity to take a leading role at a high-profile and influential organization working at every level to rid the world of nuclear weapons and change the global security paradigm for the better — and at a moment of institutional reimagining and transformation. In this position, you’ll report to Global Zero’s CEO as part of the core leadership team, and will be responsible for shaping the digital vision and delivering on growth and engagement objectives. You will bring to the table current experience with digital innovation and a history of engaging online audiences in important policy debates, channeling interest and outrage into action (online and offline), and winning campaigns, as well as strong message development, writing, and management skills.
The Director of Digital Engagement will lead the following key activities to raise the profile of our issue and organization, expand our reach and build strength over time:
Online Advocacy : Develop and implement online advocacy strategies, and design and execute plans to grow and leverage social media audiences, email lists, and website traffic.
Digital Marketing : Oversee all aspects of online public engagement and community management, assure consistent communication of organizational values and policy positions, and design and execute digital communication/marketing plans for Global Zero initiatives.
Content Management : Create a comprehensive institutional and programmatic digital marketing plan and calendar. Serve as project manager for all digital communications deliverables including email, social media content and ads, and digital campaigns.
Messaging : Help develop and drive messaging direction for online campaigns, including drafting long-range narratives and rapid response.
Leadership : Bring strong leadership, organizational development experience, and management acumen to our senior management team, and an affinity for mentoring junior and mid-level staff.
Collaboration : Work across teams and in deep collaboration with partners to help them develop communications, digital, and engagement strategies to achieve mutual objectives and growth.
Transformation : Advocate for creative digital communications thinking and innovative approaches to storytelling and engagement at all levels of the organization.
It’s a big job and you’ll be holding a lot on your own at the beginning. If all goes as planned this year, you’ll be tasked with hiring and managing 1-2 digital staff as we steadily scale up our operations. Digital is an area that is chronically misunderstood, undervalued, and underfunded in the broader nuclear field, and your success is going to help us change that.
You
Are a creative and resourceful strategist who understands the unique power and potential of digital outreach, marketing and advocacy, and knows what it takes to break out and break through;
Have a deep understanding of strategic communications, campaigning, mobilization, and direct action, and ability to express and share that knowledge with others;
Take ownership of and initiative in everything you do, and understand how to work in a team;
Are entrepreneurial and intellectually curious by nature, as well as analytical and technologically savvy;
Enjoy writing, editing, and developing long-range narratives that inform, inspire, and activate;
Are enthusiastic about experimenting and learning from mistakes, but also respect metrics and outcomes;
Can prioritize in a fast-paced work environment and stay calm, steady, and upbeat;
Can see the big picture without losing sight of important details;
Are a natural people-person who fosters trust and knows how to mentor junior and mid-level staff; and
Are eager to help shape a stronger and more intentional culture of impact, trust, empathy, and belonging.
Your Record
Up-to-date background in all aspects of a modern digital engagement position, with minimum 5 years experience working in increasingly leadership-oriented digital strategy roles;
Strong understanding of digital analytics, including ability to collect, analyze, and interpret data to guide data-informed decision-making;
Experience using some (or all) of the online platforms currently employed, including but not limited to Action Network, WordPress, and social media channels.
Values-based message development, writing, and research/testing skills;
Digital communications, storytelling, and channel management expertise;
Strong executive-level communications and marketing skills, interpersonal communications, and persuasion skills; and
A commitment to integrity, inclusion, compassion, and totally crushing it on the job.
Bonus!
Do you have other skills that we should know about? Here are a few things we think are great but not required:
Experience building and leveraging an influencer outreach program to grow the profile and connections of Global Zero staff, movement leaders, and experts;
Great eye for compelling visuals and design;
Witty GIF-master and meme-machine;
Subject matter expertise in peace and security, international affairs and/or nuclear weapons; and, finally,
Willing to split a pizza with almost any topping (except ham and pineapple, gross).
The Setup
Full-time exempt position with occasionally intense but generally humane hours;
$90,000 salary and generous benefits package including 6 weeks paid leave, 12 weeks parental leave, fully-covered health insurance, 10% retirement contributions (on top of salary), green commuting expenses and/or remote work support (e.g., phone/internet reimbursements), professional development expenses, and other benefits;
Remote-first operation headquartered in Washington, DC, hiring from any geographic location; and
Talented, compassionate, and occasionally hilarious colleagues to dig in with.
