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 petition platform is one of the most powerful tools at our disposal in empowering progressive leaders, partners, and action takers who form the foundation of our vibrant national MoveOn community. This online campaigning platform supports tens of thousands of petitions started by individual MoveOn members and partner organizations—with millions of signatures collected—each year. It provides members and partners with a set of tools and access to an engaged community that can help them win campaigns at the local, state, and national levels. This enables MoveOn members and partner organizations to campaign on progressive issues that span the entire country and creates a powerful, nuanced listening tool that helps us identify and elevate powerful campaigns that deeply engage progressives.

The Platform Campaigns Director will play a key role in managing, soliciting, and running the campaigns that flow through MoveOn’s petitions platform. Working closely with a skilled and collaborative campaigns team, you’ll guide our work to focus on the issues that matter most to our members by identifying, optimizing, and amplifying game-changing member,influencer, and partner-led campaigns. You’ll use your sharp campaigner intuition combined with our state-of-the-art tools to identify potential campaign angles and turn them into impactful, winning campaigns.

Our team is looking for a driven leader who is detail-oriented, creative, collaborative, equity-focused, interested in supporting campaigns across the progressive movement, and is energized by the power of grassroots organizing. If you’re passionate about helping people run strategic, impactful digital campaigns, and leading many of those campaigns yourself, this job is for you!
