Manager, Campaign and Digital Strategies

The Position

The National Women’s Law Center seeks a skilled communicator and organizer to support issue campaigns and other initiatives that advance progress for historically marginalized women and girls at school, at work, at home, and in their communities.

The Campaign and Digital Strategies Manager, centered on the Marketing & Communications team and reporting to the Senior Manager of Campaigns & Digital Strategies for Workplace and Education, will use both digital and field organizing tools to develop and implement compelling, creative and effective issue advocacy campaigns for the Law Center’s Education & Workplace Justice team, with specific focus on the education portfolio.

About the Organization

The National Women’s Law Center fights for gender justice — in the courts, in public policy, and in our society — working across the issues that are central to the lives of women and girls.

We use the law in all its forms to change culture and drive solutions to the gender inequity that shapes our society and to break down the barriers that harm all of us — especially those who face multiple forms of discrimination, including women of color, LGBTQ people, and low-income women and families.

For more than 45 years, we have been on the leading edge of every major legal and policy victory for women.
