Online Communications Manager (virtual/remote)

UltraViolet is hiring an Online Communications Manager to help us create a real cost for sexism in the U.S.

About UltraViolet:

In 2012, UltraViolet was launched to harness the collective power of millions of people to advance women's equity through rapid-response digital organizing.

Since then, UltraViolet has been the premier national organization elevating all of the issues that impact women's lives across identity--from intimate partner and state violence to health care to economic policy--to a national audience. Our goal has been to prove that sexism and rape culture exist by using rapid-response campaigns to expose the impact of the problems on women's lives, create public accountability, and advocate for solutions.

To do that, over the last seven years, we've built and are sustaining a community of 1.2 million committed and engaged activists in every state and congressional district across the country and ignited a new wave of feminist activism.

Moving ahead, UltraViolet will focus on building an intersectional feminist community online by creating compelling stories and offering ways to take action that center the voices and perspectives of women of color, Indigenous women, and LGBTQ people. It is these stories--from our members and our staff--that will drive demand for the kind of changes women need.

If fighting for a world beyond patriarchy, where people of all backgrounds and identities thrive with freedom and dignity, is your passion--UltraViolet is the organization for you! 

UltraViolet is an organization run by women, immigrants, people of color, Indigenous women, and LGBTQ people. Sexism disparately impacts us, and we strongly encourage people from these and other impacted communities to apply.
