Elections Organizer

Change.org is searching for an Elections Organizer for Change.vote, shaping experiences for voters and elected officials that increase clarity, trust, and participation in democracy. This role will involve managing recruitment, negotiation, and onboarding of both distribution and endorsing partners for Change.vote within their target market, including working with campus interns for distribution.

You will report to our Partnerships Lead, Emily Jakobsen. As a key member of our Elections team, you’ll drive traffic to Change.vote through partnerships and campus interns, and recruit endorsers to submit their candidates of choice within the Change.vote ecosystem.

Key Outcomes:

• Identify and build relationships with civic, advocacy, and community organizations across target markets, mostly cities

• Build and manage distribution partnerships with civic organizations, nonprofits, and other non-partisan entities (e.g., corporations) across the state

  • Map the local nonprofit landscape in each target market and prioritize organizations with existing voter engagement infrastructure

  • Provide orgs with simple, ready-to-use distribution assets — flyers, social copy, email blurbs, QR codes — so adoption requires minimal lift on their end

  • Coordinate distribution moments tied to their existing calendar: community events, service days, open enrollment periods, back-to-school nights, etc.

• Help recruit and fully manage campus representatives within your assigned markets with specific outreach goals

• Recruit organizations to contribute their endorsements and commentary to Change.vote

  • Navigate each organization's approval process — often multiple stakeholders, sometimes state or national sign-off

  • Get endorsement data into change.vote in whatever format the organization already uses (spreadsheet, PDF, or otherwise)

• Track outreach results and pipeline status in a specific CRM

• Provide feedback to the Change.vote Marketing Team about learnings throughout the cycle

The most important core competencies for the role are:

• An existing network of civic or advocacy contacts; ideally local/field-level, not just statewide leadership

• Comfortable initiating cold outreach and closing relationships independently; Outreach volume will determine success in this role

• Experience managing volunteers or interns

• Can work independently and adapt tactics without needing a rigid script

• AI experience needed: fluent and increasingly strategic

• Nice to have: bilingual (English and Spanish)

Target experience:

• At least two cycles of campaign or advocacy work, specifically in organizing, field, political, comms, or marketing (digital or otherwise)
