MoveOn is a people-powered force for progress. We wield independent political power by bringing millions together to take action to create a country with a place of honor and dignity for everyone—where all are welcome, we take care of one another, and where everyone is set up to thrive.
For more than a generation, MoveOn has been a bulwark against the radical right and has channeled millions of voices to end wars, protect democracy, and advance justice for all. We’ve built political power for progressive change through mobilizing the left to Democrats so that we can advance our vision of an America for all.
MoveOn is the largest multi-issue digital first political campaigning organization in the country. We drive rapid-response campaigns at scale on a multitude of key issues at high-impact moments while building sustainable campaigns that resonate and grow over time. Whether its democracy, health care, foreign policy, economic justice, immigration or otherwise, MoveOn provides our members with timely ways to take action for change.
You will develop and run campaigns at MoveOn, driving high-impact, public-engaging efforts to involve our millions of members and the broader public in rapid-response moments and sharp strategic initiatives. This role coordinates and leverages MoveOn’s many functional teams to bring the full power of our social, mobile, field, communications, and other tools to bear on strategic campaign work. That might mean a multi-month campaign to defeat Trumpcare, calling for and leading a national mobilization against Trump’s fake national emergency, working with immigrant-led groups to block Trump’s wall, pushing Congress to vote to end U.S. support for the war in Yemen, or running tactics to infuse health care, gun violence, and family separation into the 2018 election.
This role is a premiere position in the broad progressive movement. MoveOn’s national Campaign Directors have driven work that’s changed the course of history—winning health care access for millions, stopping wars, curbing family separation policies—and have gone on, after MoveOn, to found and direct marquee organizations and serve as elected officials in public life. This is a remarkable position at the heart of MoveOn’s powerful team that allows you to strategize and to mobilize millions of people in defense of democracy, justice, and dignity for all.
