Position: Senior Manager of Community Outreach
Department: Partnerships & Outreach
Reports to: Senior Director of Partnerships & Outreach
FLSA Status: Exempt / Full-time
Organization Description: The Voter Participation Center (VPC) is the nation's largest non-partisan, non-profit organization dedicated to registering and mobilizing voters from the New American Majority (NAM) – people of color, unmarried women, and young people – who make up the majority of the potential electorate, but have been historically underrepresented in political participation and power. Using direct mail, digital and social media outreach, guided by rigorous data science and experimentation, and working closely with a multitude of partner organizations, VPC connects with millions of voters each year, building the foundation for a more representative democracy.
Over the past 20 years, VPC has helped more than 6 million people register to vote. In 2020, as COVID-19 shut down most forms of in-person voter contact, VPC helped more than 4.6 million people apply to vote by mail and cast ballots, registered more than 1.6 million people, and assisted millions of voters in voting early and safely to reduce pressures on polling places on Election Day. We also accomplished a lot in 2022! After running the largest midterm election program of VPC and CVI's history, VPC and CVI helped 418,000 people register to vote, helped 561,000 voters sign up to vote by mail, and encouraged nearly 20 million voters to vote in the general election.
With elections decided at such close margins, the work that VPC and CVI do remains vital. With competitive races up and down the ballot and across the country in 2023, and with ongoing efforts to disenfranchise voters and change the mechanics of our democracy, it is vital that we register and turn out voters in 2023. And we will. VPC programs are flexible, nimble, and scalable. VPC is driven by a commitment to constant research, testing, experimentation and evaluation, and thus offers many of the most cost-effective, proven, high-impact programs in the civic engagement field.
The Center for Voter Information (CVI) is VPC's partner organization and is a separate, but affiliated 501(c)4 non-profit that works to engage both the NAM as well as members of the broader electorate who share their values.
VPC-CVI does not sponsor work visas for potential or hired employees under any circumstances.
Position Description: VPC and CVI are seeking a Senior Manager of Community Outreach to join their Partnerships teams. Reporting to the Senior Director of Partnerships and Outreach and working closely with the Deputy Director of Partnerships and Outreach, the Senior Manager builds awareness of VPC and CVI's programs, coordinates with other civic engagement organizations in targeted states, and communicates with state and local election officials. The Partnerships and Outreach team coordinates projects with partners, communicates proactively and responsively with state and national organizations as well as election officials, and manages information relating to VPC and CVI programs and partnerships throughout the states.
This is an exciting opportunity to join a growing organization committed to fulfilling the promise of democracy for all, and to help promote innovative voter registration and mobilization strategies. The right candidate will be self-motivated, collaborative, a people person, and committed to the mission of VPC and CVI. This is a full-time position that can be done remotely (non-DC-based staff) or hybrid (DC-based staff).
