Director of Organizing, Workers' Rights

Want to help create and lead the world’s largest organizing platform for workers' rights?

Change.org is hiring a Director of Organizing for our Workers' Rights cause, who will oversee our advocacy and organizing efforts across the U.S. and the globe -- crafting and executing rapid-response campaigns and helping millions of activists start and successfully run their own local campaigns.

We prefer applicants based in D.C., San Francisco, or New York City, but are flexible on location if the right person requires it. Pay and benefits are very competitive. This job is exceptionally fast-paced.

The Director of Organizing, Workers' Rights will:

* Collaborate daily with a fast-growing team of writers and organizers to identify opportunities for creating effective grassroots campaigns that win measurable social change.
* Design and execute rapid-response advocacy campaigns with the potential for explosive growth and swift victories.
* Identify promising grassroots campaigns started by activists on Change.org, and help these campaigns win by providing strategic advice, conducting media outreach, and promoting them across the web and to our members via email.
* Establish and maintain deep partnerships with other leading worker advocacy groups – both local and global in scope.

The ideal candidate should have the following:

* Innovative ideas for how to use online organizing to win local, national, and international campaigns – and a willingness to take risks, to fail and to adapt.
* A strong interest in aiding local, member-driven online organizing campaigns and developing member capacity for ever-larger campaigns. (This is the backbone of our work and what we see as the biggest opportunity for transformational change.)
* A history of executing large-scale campaigns with a concrete theory of change and specific, measurable results.
* Labor advocacy campaigning experience and an understanding of key issues including the right to organize, working conditions, living wages, fair trade, and many other related areas.
