Director, National Campaigns
1 week ago
We strongly encourage people of color, transgender and non-binary people to apply. HRC is an equal opportunity employer and welcomes everyone, including non-LGBTQ+ people, to join our team. Don't meet every single requirement? Studies have shown that people from marginalized communities are less likely to apply to jobs unless they meet every single qualification. At HRC, we are dedicated to building a diverse, inclusive and authentic workplace, so if you're excited about this role but your past experience doesn't align perfectly with every qualification in the job description, we encourage you to apply anyway. You may be just the right candidate for this or other roles.
Position Summary:
The Human Rights Campaign (HRC), the nation's largest LGBTQ+ civil rights organization, is seeking a Director of National Campaigns to lead our efforts to achieve full LGBTQ+ equality and inclusion in their region. They will be responsible for developing and implementing a comprehensive strategy to advance LGBTQ+ rights and advocacy in their region by building people power, through legislative, electoral, and issue campaigns, and through other levers of change.
LGBTQ+ people are as diverse as the nation, and our fight for equality is interconnected with movements for social justice that intersect across our community. The stakes for LGBTQ+ people-and all people-could not be higher.
The Director of National Campaigns will ensure state-based organizing staff in their region are equipped and empowered to develop proactive, strategic, and holistic campaign plans to win elections and legislative outcomes. They will assist in strategic campaign planning with state-based organizing staff, and work in concert with leaders within the department and across the organization to provide guidance and support for electoral, legislative, and issue campaigns.
The Director of National Campaigns will be a critical thinker and strategist who grasps HRC's long-term goals and the dynamics that shape our work in the electoral and legislative space, while understanding the day-to-day execution necessary to deliver on our mission. They will enjoy managing multiple staff and a variety of projects simultaneously and will have the organizational skills necessary to stay on top of a broad scope of work. They will thrive in a fast-paced, campaign-like environment and bring with them an inclination to solve problems creatively.
This position requires experience managing programs and staff, and will provide experienced leadership and strategic planning for HRC's national political program. This position reports to the Vice President of National Campaigns.
