MoveOn is a diverse and vibrant community of millions of people working together to create progressive change in America. We are an innovative campaigning organization that supports people throughout the country to take action through driving impactful campaigns that influence the behavior of people and institutions, shape the outcomes of elections, and expand the realities of what’s possible. We organize to challenge entrenched power, while pursuing economic, racial, and social justice and a vision of a country in which everyone can thrive.

MoveOn has a particularly important role to play in the Trump era. We are working to defeat Donald Trump and the GOP in 2020 by building a powerful, multiracial, and economic populistmovement that will give voters something to vote for, not just against—and we're also working to defend communities that are on the front lines of Trump and GOP attacks, including immigrants, people of color, the LGBTQ community, and women. In service of that mission, in 2020 and beyond, MoveOn will drive impactful, movement-connected, multichannel, nimble campaigns aimed at impact.

We are looking for a highly motivated and team-oriented Mobilization Manager to oversee large-scale grassroots-led national days of action to maximize impact on our priority campaigns through March 2021. Over the past year, these included people-powered mobilizations #CloseTheCamps protests in July 2019, Impeachment Eve protests in December 2019, rallies against war with Iran in January 2020, and, during the pandemic, the #RealReliefNow Twitter Rally in May 2020. In between national days of action, this role provides rapid-response support across issues, using digital and in-person tactics to seize moments in advocacy and elections work.

Responsibilities

The Mobilization Manager is the principal project manager of MoveOn’s signature national days of action on priority issue campaigns. This means using internal guidelines for how MoveOn mobilizes to manage national days of action where hundreds or thousands of volunteers lead local actions where they live at the same time. It includes coordinating daily or frequent stand-up calls, providing written updates on Slack and email, shepherding multiple teams across the organization, supporting fellow project team members to accomplish their roles, and debriefing mobilizations and working with teams across the organization to apply the lessons learned.
Ensure that mobilizations lead with principles and practices of anti-racism, accessibility, and equity.
Contribute to the development of sound strategy and creative tactics for mobilizations and the campaigns they serve, including further developing mass-distributed online actions such as Twitter rallies in partnership with MoveOn’s Social and Campaigns teams
Draft content and shepherd through feedback and approval processes, including website copy, emails, text messages, and social media copy to promote events.
Between mobilizations, play a role in MoveOn’s rapid-response campaigning, driving and supporting actions and interventions that take place at opportunistic moments, where work over a 24- to 96-hour period could generate a variety of tactics, including MoveOn member actions to make progressive impact.

Required Skills and Experience

Familiarity with the tools and tactics used for rapid-response campaigning opportunities and experience driving short-term tactics that have moved campaign targets, earned media, or impacted narrative.
Strong equity analysis and demonstrated understanding of, commitment to, and prioritization of racial and social justice, and experience working effectively with people with different identities and with different constituencies.
Strong project management skills.
Strong written communications skills in a fast-paced environment.
Strong interpersonal and communications skills. Must be able to engage effectively with MoveOn colleagues, volunteers, members, and external audiences, including via traditional and social media.
Experience playing a significant role in executing coordinated days of action, which include multiple events in multiple places, using a variety of communication and technology tools.
Self-directedness. MoveOn is a virtual office, and while you will interact with your colleagues constantly, you will be driving your own workflow and output. Excellent personal organization and time management skills are key.
Ability to learn MoveOn's suite of organizing technology (Facebook groups, Spoke, ActionKit, and Slack).
