This could be a dream job.</p>
<h3>Job Description.</h3>
<p> Our organization is focused on developing high-impact campaigns
that resonate with people and help them band together to exert their
power. The Campaign Manager/ Evangelist position is one of the most
important roles in our work - it is central to the organization and its
effectiveness. If you ever wanted to build online experiences that reach
out, grab people, and help them change the world, then this is the job
for you. We’re looking for someone to continue to build that
organization with us, from the ground up.</p>
<p>We're looking for someone smart and savvy and who can be funny and
playful with ideas; we're looking for someone who can speak to people's
humor, fears and what gets them going; and we want someone who has
purposeful humor and creativity as well as poignant ideas and language
that can cut through political gridlock and debate.</p>
<p>We look for people with a rigorous and thought-provoking perspective
on a wide range of political issues, and especially on tech and policy.
We want you to be a thinker and someone who can synthesize a problem or
an idea out of ordinary interaction and frustrations / struggles.</p>
<h3>Desired Skills & Experience</h3>
<p>Ideally, you should have experience with or want to have experience with:</p>
<ol><li>running campaigns on high-impact issues</li><li>managing campaigns and responses to a fast-changing, dynamic field</li><li>working with a large variety of people, groups, and companies and spreading the message to as many stakeholders as possible</li>
<li>fighting against money in politics and heavily-funded lobbying teams</li><li>playing a key role in the planning and strategy of campaign organizing and organization growth</li><li>leading or starting coalitions</li><li>
finding and securing new sources for campaigns</li></ol>
<h3>You should also have experience:</h3>
<ol><li>Running online campaigns that grow fast</li><li>Crafting exciting and persuasive actions</li><li>Using online and traditional media to achieve broad visibility (including by talking with press)</li><li>Fighting hard for something</li>
</ol>
<p><strong>Compensation.</strong> Market Rate / Commensurate with Experience</p>
<p><strong>Location, terms.</strong> The team will be 100% remote-—no
need to commute or relocate. If you're interested in relocation, let us
know. We’d start working with you on a contract basis at an hourly rate,
but we will be able to offer full-time position with competitive salary
and benefits to the right person.</p>
<p><strong>To apply:</strong> If you’re interested, send links to work you’ve done to <a href="mailto:tycheng+campaigns@gmail.com">tycheng+campaigns@gmail.com</a>.
Show us that you excel at the things we’re looking for. If you like,
include links to or samples of your writing–ideally in situations where
you’re writing to persuade a group of people to believe something or
take an action. Include as much relevant information as possible:
significant things you’ve done, projects you’ve worked on, etc. Being
well-rounded is a plus, so don’t exclude significant skills or
achievements just because they aren’t activism related (e.g. starting a
business, or being a musician).</p>
<p><strong>Note:</strong> we expect this job announcement to reach a
lot of people who are very politically active, but who may not be sold
on the significance of this particular cause. So here’s a quick summary
of how we see the threat and the opportunity:</p>
<p>First, technology is increasingly the foundation for social
participation and the pursuit of justice. We depend on a combination of
software, devices, and the internet to get news, read books, organize
others— a slew of essential activities. Second, digital technology
contains a basic social justice: once something gets made, it costs
relatively little to give everyone access.</p>
<p>This means two things: 1) to preserve our existing freedoms and
institutions we have to fight to keep their technological underpinnings
free from interference. 2) If we’re successful we win much more than
that: a world where everyone has equal access to many of humanity’s most
valuable creations (knowledge, cultural expression, and the digital
tools to make more).</p>
<p>There are several excellent organizations working on the same set of
issues; we can be very effective working in collaboration with them by
focusing on public-facing campaigns and employing a different mix of
tactics. The organization’s founding team also has an interesting track
record in doing just this.</p>
