  • Assist the Director and team members in special projects and ongoing initiatives to improve services to volunteers and donors. 
  • May work on special projects such as special fundraising campaigns, stewardship efforts, inter- and intra-departmental initiatives, social media content development, and benefit fulfillment. 
  • Work with Federal Club team to develop volunteer training modules throughout the year, with a special focus during the annual Equality Convention and biannual Board Meetings.  
  • Other duties as assigned. 

 

Position Qualifications:

  • Bachelor’s degree (or equivalent work experience) strongly preferred as well as two to four years of successful fundraising experience. Special consideration given for experience with mid-level donor programs. 
  • Deep commitment to and knowledge of the rapidly changing LGBTQ equality movement and an inherent drive to keep current on HRC’s work as well as more broadly in the social justice movement.  
  • Excellent leadership, conflict resolution, and exceptional interpersonal skills are required. 
  • Thoughtful, curious, flexible, collaborative, and creative problem-solver with entrepreneurial spirit and a sense of humor.
  • Demonstrated experience working with highly motivated and passionate volunteers and donors.
  • Committed to high-level customer service and donor support and consistently demonstrates initiative, creativity, and diplomacy.

  • Proven track record handling multiple projects, managing and meeting deadlines, and working gracefully under pressure. 
  • Flexibility with work schedule. Must be willing to travel extensively in the United States, as at least 25% of work time, sometimes in evenings and often on weekends. 
  • Candidates with more than four years of relevant work experience may be considered for hiring at the Senior Manager level. 

 

All positions at the Human Rights Campaign may require travel on a regular basis or periodically. Where the need arises for business travel, appropriate compensation as outlined by the Fair Labor Standards Act will apply.
