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 vital role to play in securing progress during the Biden-Harris administration, and in organizing the grassroots to set up election wins in 2021, 2022, and beyond. We are building a powerful, multiracial, and economic populist movement, and fighting for progress on health care, climate, racial justice and more. In service of that mission, in 2021 and beyond, MoveOn will drive impactful, movement-connected, multichannel, nimble campaigns aimed at impact.
MoveOn’s Campaign team has driven work that’s changed the course of history—partnering with our allies to win health care access for millions, stopping wars, curbing family separation policies and impeaching a president. The team conducts a range of campaigns — from rapid-response work to longer term interventions, aimed at political leaders and other targets. Campaigns are at the heart of MoveOn’s public facing work and are supported by contributions from across the organization — meaning the Campaigns Team works regularly with the Communications, Fundraising, Organizing, Mobile, Electoral teams and more.
The Director of Campaigns serves as a strategic internal partner among the numerous campaigns the team is running at any given time — helping determine how to prioritize our campaigns, resource them with staff capacity and budget, and supporting individual Campaign Directors on their campaign strategy, tactics and plans. The Director of Campaigns leads a team composed of several Campaign Directors, and helps communicate campaign priorities across MoveOn’s many teams.
Responsibilities
* Ensuring MoveOn’s campaigns are strategic, impactful, and properly resourced.
* Manage, support and lead a team of Campaign Directors, campaigners, and Platform team — working closely with them on their campaign strategies and plans, generating new campaigns, and supporting them in their professional development.
* Drive clarity around campaign priorities for the campaigns team and the organization overall — working with other staff members and senior strategists across the organization to identify and act upon key opportunities.
* Partner laterally across teams to ensure strong campaigning — working closely with Mobile, Social, Creative Lab, Earned Media, Elections, DC and other teams to make sure the full scope of MoveOn’s capacities are strategically oriented around our top priority campaigns.
* In partnership with other teams, coordinate the outgoing messaging stream to ensure email, SMS, and social content reflect priority campaigns and align well with each other.
* Oversee resource allocation and budget management.
* Sign off on campaign materials and member-facing communications and serve as a critical part of the team that regulates signing off across the organization’s many diverse products.
* Backstop campaigners’ work — helping generate content directly, shepherd it through MoveOn’s tools and signoff processes and periodically own specific tactics or interventions not assigned to other campaigners.
* Own larger, multi-faceted campaigns that may involve multiple components, each of which is run by a separate campaigner.
