Current Opening:
Make the Road New York seeks a full-time Workplace Justice Lead Organizer (WJLO) to lead our worker and economic justice organizing initiatives.

Key Responsibilities but not limited to:
- Oversee Make the Road New York’s workplace justice and economic justice policy and organizing work;

- Create and facilitate leadership development approaches, curriculums, and activities. Work with experienced organizers and advanced leaders to chart plans for their next phase of growth in the work, and support them in taking on new leadership;
- As a member of the lead organizer team, participate in developing and implementing a shared vision for collective power building across all areas of work; supporting organization-wide and team-wide activities in issue areas other than workers’ rights.
