UltraViolet is hiring a Campaign Director to help us drive cultural and political change to advance an intersectional feminist agenda.
About UltraViolet:
Since 2012, UltraViolet has been the premier national organization advocating for gender justice issues using creative, strategic campaigning and digital-first organizing. UltraViolet drives feminist cultural and political change by exposing the white supremacist patriarchy and creating the conditions for a more just and equitable world for all.
Together with our more than 1.2 million members, we have taken over 17 million actions driving feminist cultural and political change. UltraViolet members have taken down major misogynists from Bill O'Reilly and Harvey Weinstein to Roger Ailes and Rick Ross, led the fight nationwide to combat racist and sexist disinformation during the 2020 election, campaigned for justice for women of color murdered by law enforcement, forced TikTok to include deadnaming and misogyny to its hate speech policies, and more.
We work across a broad spectrum of interconnected issues that impact the lives of women, girls and gender-marginalized people, including gender-based violence, disinformation, health care, economic security, reproductive rights, and racial justice. In all of our work, we center frontline communities disparately impacted by sexist policies and practices, especially Black women, Indigenous women, women of color, people with disabilities, low-income women, immigrants, survivors, and LGBTQ+ people.
If fighting for a world beyond white supremacist patriarchy--a world where all people can thrive with freedom and dignity--ignites your passion, then UltraViolet is the organization for you!

Reporting to the Vice President of Campaigns, the Campaign Director will cover a portfolio of campaigns and projects, where they lead the strategic planning and decision-making and the tactical execution of our work.
While not the exclusive focus of this role, this Campaign Director will likely take over a portfolio that includes at least some significant portion of our Big Tech accountability and anti-disinformation work.
Across their campaign and project portfolio, the Campaign Director will run longer-term systemic change campaigns, leading our digital advocacy work and building deep relationships with allies, legislative staff, key decision-makers (whether at social media and tech companies or entertainment and cultural institutions), and relevant reporters and influencers.
Alongside these longer-term campaigns, the Campaign Director will also opportunistically run creative and strategic digital-first, rapid-response campaigns in response to breaking news or cultural moments as a tactic to advance campaign goals, promote feminist values, and grow our community of online activists.
The role is fully remote, in an all-remote organization, with a starting salary range of $100,000 to $115,000, plus a home office stipend based on the cost of living in your location.
The Campaign Director oversees the following areas of work:
Driving Strategic and Tactical Planning and Decision-Making for a Portfolio of Projects and Campaigns:
Identify and lead both the development and execution of high-impact digital campaigns rooted in a framework of anti-racist feminism that leverage breaking news and cultural moments to confront sexism in the media, government, cultural institutions, and Big Tech.
Monitor campaign progress and execution on an ongoing basis, ensuring the day-to-day digital work is aligned with established goals, objectives, budgets, and timelines and that key stakeholders and decision-makers are updated regularly.
Design escalation plans that deepen engagement of UltraViolet members, ensure that corporate, institutional, and political targets are aware of our campaigns (whether through the media or meetings with decision-makers), and include research-backed tactics to persuade targets to meet our demands.
Act as spokesperson with the press for your campaigns and represent the organization at relevant meetings and events, on conference calls with allies, and on relevant listservs.
Actively participate in coalitions (both formal and ad hoc) related to your campaign work, including recruiting organizations to join campaigns we're leading; engaging with other leaders, stakeholders, and allies; and supporting our key allies' efforts.
Monitor the news and political and cultural events for their potential to become new campaigns or advance active campaigns, and propose ideas for testing.
Identify rapid-response opportunities to introduce more feminists to UltraViolet and grow our membership.
Develop detailed campaign plans, including soliciting input from team members and partners.
Campaign Production and Management:
Write compelling petitions, emails, and other types of campaign content (often on tight deadlines) to mobilize our members to take action and to grow our membership base.
Manage the creation of digital content from beginning to end: drafting and editing digital copy (e.g. emails, petitions, surveys, SMS blasts, etc.); setting up, targeting, and sending the digital content through our digital tools; analyzing the results to help us make better decisions going forward; and identifying appropriate next steps in the campaign.
Project manage and liaise with vendors, outside consultants and partners (e.g. designers, technology providers, video editors, etc.) as necessary to leverage their specialized expertise on your campaigns.
Work with our technology and design teams to develop creative ways to amplify campaign demands, priorities, and impact.
Coordinate on-the-ground campaign events, such as petition deliveries, house parties, and rallies.
Manage member inquiries and issues related to campaigns as needed.
Campaign Analysis:
Continually analyze and report out on data and impact during campaigns.
Conduct internal campaign evaluations, debriefs, and lessons learned.
Stay abreast of ongoing changes in the digital, advocacy, and narrative-change fields (e.g. new innovations, changing best practices, new tools), and find ways of incorporating this learning into your campaigns.
Membership Growth and Engagement:
Support the development of membership growth strategies across email, mobile, social media, and website, and implement experiments and projects designed to increase UltraViolet's digital membership.
Contribute ideas for campaign-relevant member fundraisers and provide feedback on fundraising email drafts.
These are the required skills, traits and experience for this position:
A deep commitment to anti-racist feminism and gender justice.
Five or more years of highly relevant work experience, particularly experience working in digital campaigning, digital organizing, or digital communications for progressive organizations or campaigns, or experience working in investigative journalism or on narrative-change campaigns.
Excellent all-around communication skills, and the ability to write sharp, persuasive and well-messaged copy for action alerts, press releases, organizational sign-on letters, etc.
Sharp strategic instincts and the ability to both identify opportunities where grassroots activism can deliver gender justice victories, and the ability to explain your strategic rationale to diverse audiences.
A knack for leveraging breaking news or cultural moments for educating and mobilizing people.
A deep curiosity to understand more about the world, ideas, and subjects of interest, along with the ability to quickly get up to speed on complicated issues related to public policy or culture change.
An excellent understanding of how to use the Internet to research information.
Deep familiarity and engagement with Internet culture; a good awareness of online trends, fads, discourses, influencers, communities, and subcultures.

Experience managing complex projects from start to finish, independently and as part of a team.
Proven writing ability in a relevant setting; experience mobilizing people via email and mobile.
