Location: Flexible
Union Position: No
Job Classification Level: M-I
Salary Range (depending on experience): $79,000-$108,000
Description:
The League of Conservation Voters Education Fund believes our earth is worth mobilizing for, because everyone has a right to clean air, water, and a safe, healthy community. LCV Education Fund (LCVEF) works to turn environmental values into national, state and local priorities. LCVEF's work to protect and advocate for the environment is rooted in our commitment to racial, social and environmental justice.
Democracy for All (DFA) is one of the largest and most dynamic civic engagement programs in the nation and the largest program within the environmental movement. As a program of LCVEF, we operate in partnership with 30 state affiliates in the Conservation Voter Movement, which gives Democracy For All substantial capacity and geographic reach. Over the last five election cycles, we have established a track record of running highly effective, research-based nonpartisan voter registration programs that are rooted in racial justice and worked in collaboration with the communities most impacted by environmental degradation. Since our first program in 2012, we have helped over 1.5 million individuals register to vote. LCVEF and many state league partners have also prioritized increasing our efforts to protect and promote voting rights. These issues are central to the success of environmental priorities, and are, therefore, central to the success of the Conservation Voter Movement.
LCVEF is seeking a Deputy Director of Civic Engagement to join the Democracy For All program who will oversee a growing multi-state voting rights program and the execution of multi-state site-based nonpartisan voter registration and integrated voter engagement. In addition to DFA programs LCVEF conducts directly, the DFA program involves state-level partnerships with affiliates that result in strategic guidance and oversight. The ideal candidate will have extensive experience in management, base building, coalition building, and developing grassroots leaders through issue organizing campaigns and civic engagement. We are looking for a creative, motivated leader with an organizing background who is goal-driven, detail-oriented, and dynamic.

- Coordinate with LCVEF and state LCVEF staff to ensure that Civic Engagement work is integrated into LCVEF events and strategies including relationship building, media communications and online actions.
- Attend coalition meetings across the country to build relationships, identify opportunities for engagement and advance the goals of LCVEF programs.
- Assist with the planning and implementation of national site-based voter registration and integrated voter engagement efforts. This includes assisting with the hiring, training, and management of state-based staff.
- Draft and manage campaign and program plans and budgets.
- Ensure compliance and reporting of all activities working with Legal and Finance departments and state affiliates.
- Other duties as assigned.
