**Benefits**:Healthcare, Dental, Life Insurance; generous PTO and sick time policy including office closures for holidays
TEN is seeking a disciplined, hard-working, communicative and detail oriented Organizing Director who shares our vision for a national, democratic tenant union representing thousands of members. They must be open to the uncertainty and unpredictability of a startup organization and able to take initiative to move our mission forward. They must bring a willingness to learn and execute our organizing model. They must be a teamplayer and bring creativity to be able to adjust our model to new circumstances as needed.

- Experience with excel spreadsheets, google drive, and other spreadsheet and data management tools. This is how we document issues and organize our documentation
- Comfortable using a smartphone to collect photos and videos and transferring them to an online database
