Leading an organization to scale proven voter engagement tactics, shaping influence, and building high-performing teams.
Proven leadership, experience in fundraising, understanding of civic engagement or political ecosystems, strategic thinking, partnership building, and commitment to diversity and inclusion.
The Company is seeking an Executive Director to lead its mission of transforming proven voter engagement tactics into standard practice. The successful candidate will be tasked with driving the adoption and real-world use of these tactics, with a focus on changing institutional behavior and scaling their impact. This role is not about inventing new ideas but rather about ensuring that effective, research-backed methods are widely and reliably used, particularly in the context of the upcoming election cycle. The Executive Director will be responsible for shaping the organization's influence, leading fundraising efforts, and building high-functioning teams. They must have a strong background in leadership, a track record of advancing initiatives, and the ability to navigate the political and civic engagement ecosystems. Applicants for the Executive Director position at the company should have a proven leadership background, experience in fundraising, and a deep understanding of the progressive political or civic engagement landscape. The role requires a strategic thinker who can balance experimentation with a clear focus, and who is adept at building partnerships and translating research into practical guidance. The ideal candidate will be comfortable with ambiguity, have a strong sense of judgment, and be committed to the organization's mission of increasing voter participation and engagement. The company is particularly interested in candidates who can demonstrate a history of turning smart ideas into action and who are dedicated to creating a diverse and inclusive organizational environment.
