Every day real change occurs because of campaigns started on Change.org, from passing local recycling ordinances to preventing human trafficking online. As the world’s most powerful campaigning platform - empowering anyone to start, join and win campaigns for social change on the issues they care about most - we are growing by over 500,000 new users a month and are excited to expand our new team in the UK.
This is a full-time role in which you will help build our advocacy and campaigning efforts across the UK - crafting and executing rapid-response campaigns across dozens of issues and helping thousands of activists start and run their own local campaigns.
Specifically you will:
- Research and identify opportunities for creating effective grassroots campaigns around critical social, economic and environmental issues - and much more.
- Design and execute rapid-response social change advocacy campaigns with the potential for explosive growth and swift victories.
- Identify promising grassroots campaigns started by activists on Change.org, and help these campaigns win by providing strategic advice, conducting media outreach, and promoting them across the web and to our members via email.
- Connect with networks of activists and NGOs, to initiate and then support campaigns run in partnership.
- Lead on multiple campaigns spanning dozens of issues.
The ideal candidate should have the following:
- Innovative ideas for how to use online organising to win local and national campaigns.
- A deep commitment to our mission of empowering people everywhere to win campaigns on the critical issues of our times.
- Extremely strong written and oral communication skills.
- An agile skill set and attitude, capable of working on issues ranging from animal rights to human trafficking, environmental destruction to LGBT rights and much more.
- A strong interest in aiding local, member-driven online organising campaigns and developing member capacity for ever larger campaigns.
- A history of online public mobilisation for grassroots social change.
- A strong grasp of politics, the political process and current social justice, economic and environmental issues within the UK and globally.
The Campaigns Manager position is a full-time position, ideally starting immediately.
Change.org is an exceptionally fast-paced and agile work environment. Candidates must be self-starters excited to work collaboratively in an ambitious organisation working for social change.
