POSITION DESCRIPTION
The New Organizing Institute seeks a leader to join our team as
Communications Director. The Communications Director will plan and
implement our strategic communications and branding, and will manage our
digital, creative, and community staff. As such, experience as a manager of
both people and projects is a must.
Since our founding in 2005, NOI has built a strong reputation through
excellent and strategic programs as a powerhouse of progressive talent.
Recently, the Time political blog Swampland described NOI as "an
infrastructure to train and nurture the next generation of campaign
operatives and develop cutting-edge techniques." Our Communications
Director will help shape our public narrative and take the NOI brand to the
next level.
Our ideal candidate is someone who can ensure that we're delivering sharp,
strategic content, so NOI can become a true go-to for stories about
organizing, campaigns, data, and technology. The most important qualities
we're seeking are a keen eye for messaging, experience with press, and
track record as a strong manager. Preferred are a basic understanding of
digital advocacy, event planning, and community engagement. Experience in
both electoral and issue campaigns is preferred, and experience in field
organizing is also a big plus.
You don't have to be an expert at all that stuff, but you've gotta be able
to understand, explain, and contribute to all the work we do. The
Communications Director is a senior position at NOI and will report
directly to the Executive Director.
JOB RESPONSIBILITIES
-
Work with NOI leadership team to plan and articulate our mission and
vision in a variety of media, especially press and including digital,
promotional, and in-person (trainings, conferences, and events).
-
Manage our digital, creative, and community staff to ensure delivery of
high-quality work product and build a great team.
-
Oversee branding with all NOI staff projects.
-
Act as a collaborative member of NOI's senior staff.
-
Contribute to NOI trainings as appropriate based on your skills.
-
Work with partners and allies to tell the story of engagement organizing
and build credibility for the work of campaigning.
QUALIFICATIONS AND EXPERIENCE
While no candidate will possess every quality, the successful candidate
will bring many of the following qualifications and personal attributes:
-
Existing press relationships and proven track record of generating
positive press
-
Bigtime hustle
-
Superb writing and editing skills (this one's required)
-
Experience managing staff
-
A big, broad network in progressive advocacy and campaigns work
-
Understanding of the role of digital advocacy
-
Comfort with technology (even if you can't make it, understanding it is
important)
-
Field experience preferred
-
"Big Picture" vision and an ability to understand how complex pieces fit
together, but also...
-
...Attention to the most minute detail (like a missing Oxford comma)
-
Ability to quickly switch gears and jump in where needed
We're looking for a truly outstanding candidate for this challenging post.
You'll have significant opportunity to help shape NOI's future and build a
name for our work, but you'll also need to be comfortable focusing in on
the smallest details and executing clean programs.
This position is based in our office in Washington, DC, and may require
occasional travel.
There are no education requirements for this position.
