WHAT YOU’VE GOT:

  • Relationship Builder: You’re the one your friends (and their friends) call or text or message on Facebook to find out what’s going on at school or in the community. You thrive at inspiring other women to get involved because you know how to make it feel social and fun. You love building community among women to reach a common goal – and you are excited about finding ways to keep that community engaged and empowered.
  • Connected: You understand the power of personal relationships and want to encourage others to find their voice and understand their ability to influence their networks.
  • Socially Savvy: You like talking to individuals one-on-one as well as talking to groups – you are a people person. You enjoy communicating on social media and love using communication and digital tools.
  • Technologically Savvy: You are excited to learn and use new technology for data and communication. Experience using Customer Relationship Management (CRM) is preferred. You have a willingness to learn new systems and utilize technology to support working smarter, not harder.
  • Inclusive: You can work effectively with people regardless of age, race, gender, sexual orientation, ethnicity, religion, political background or job type. You understand how to connect on shared values with women who don’t consider themselves to be “political” or who may disagree with you on some issues. You believe in the power of relationships based on trust and excel at meeting people where they are, then helping them gradually move where you want them to go. 
  • Flexible: You are comfortable navigating sometimes ambiguous work with competing priorities. You are nimble and can effectively shift focus when the need arises. 
  • Organized & Productive: You have the ability to radically prioritize tasks and plan your days to meet goals. You thrive at managing projects remotely. 
  • Growth Mindset: You have the ability to fail fast and win fast because you know that we learn as much from failure as we do success. You are not afraid to take risks, think outside the box and give or receive feedback. You are willing to put yourself out there whether it is speaking in public, creating videos or talking to reporters.
  • Playfully Passionate: Your ability to get sh*t done is accompanied by your love for fun. You understand that we can do serious work without taking ourselves too seriously.


WHAT WE OFFER

The salary for this position is $50,000 and commensurate with related experience. We take pay equity seriously and work hard to ensure our team members are paid fairly regardless of their gender, race, or other demographic backgrounds.
