  • Develop relationships and partnerships with local community, existing NDWA affiliates and chapters, and other allies focused on base-building with domestic workers
  • Execute campaign plans and effective organizing tactics including traditional grassroots voter contact
  • Provide support to the State Director with research, analysis, and other materials for coalition and caucus meetings
  • Manage team, including a part-time Organizer, to meet goals and to meet all data and reporting deadlines

Qualifications:

  • Willingness to work long and unusual hours, including nights and weekends
  • Willingness to travel, reliable access to a vehicle is required (NOTE: while our program is currently entirely virtual due to safety concerns for our staff and our phonebankers, it is possible that we could transition to in-person canvassing at some point this year, so access to reliable transportation is necessary)
  • Work with the national NDWA staff and attorneys to meet all legal and ethical requirements of a civic engagement organization
  • Relentless drive, tenacity and a willingness to do whatever it takes to advance our mission and values
  • Attention to detail and the ability to manage the technical aspects of a project such as paperwork, on-boarding, off-boarding, timesheets, scheduling, internal and external deadlines, etc.
