Platform Innovation Manager
 
Since 2011, when MoveOn launched our public petition platform (originally
called SignOn.org, now simply MoveOn Petitions<http://petitions.moveon.org/>),
more than 40,000 people have launched campaigns using our toolset,
collecting nearly 30 million signatures, generating thousands of press
hits, and winning countless policy victories.
 
Now, we're working to expand MoveOn's petition platform into a full suite
of online campaign tools to empower event organizing, fundraising, and
other campaign tactics to help MoveOn members run and win even more
victories.
 
We're hiring a top-notch online organizer to help lead this effort. In this
job, you'll have both the independence and resources to achieve
breakthrough innovations, working hand in hand with an all-star team of
programmers, media professionals, analytics experts, and campaigners.
 
If you're a powerhouse organizer thrilled by the challenge of using
technology to help MoveOn's 8 million members change the world, and/or a
techie with deep project development and management experience who's
hungering to do something to make the world better, then this job is for
you.
 
*Key responsibilities:*
 
- Create new ways for MoveOn members to use our online events platform
for local, volunteer-led campaigns.
- Develop new crowd-sourced fundraising strategies to allow MoveOn
members to access funding for their own campaigns.
- Use a combination of organizing judgment and quantitative analysis to
prioritize campaigns for MoveOn support in the form of email blasts,
funding, and other resources.
- Work closely with our team of programmers to write specs for and QA
test new tools and features.
 
*Job Requirements:*
 
- Strong experience running large grassroots campaigns, including
Internet organizing, social media, managing volunteers, and generating
earned media.
- Superlative writing for popular audiences and political campaigns.
- Interest in analytic, data-driven approaches to problem solving.
- Expert knowledge of the latest online tools and emerging technologies.
- Experience with constituent relationship management systems a plus.
(i.e. Salsa, Convio, Blue State Digital).
- Willingness to work as part of a team while also managing large
projects independently.
- Desire to work in an environment demanding constant innovation,
experimentation, and, inevitably, a high rate of failure for new ideas.
- Strong aptitude for technology. Useful skills include HTML, CSS, SQL,
and command-line interfaces. A plus to candidates who have experience with
Perl, Mason, JavaScript, jQuery, or version control (especially SVN).
 
*Location*: Anywhere in the continental U.S.—MoveOn operates on a virtual
office model, collaborating online.
 
*Salary*: Salary is highly competitive and benefits include health and
dental insurance and four weeks of vacation.
 
To Apply: Go to
http://front.moveon.org/about/jobs/moveon-job-application-form to submit
your application, resume, and a cover letter that explains why you are a
good fit for the position.
 
*MoveOn.org Civic Action and MoveOn.org Political Action are equal
opportunity employers.*
