Dear Friend,
This is a friendly reminder that
the deadline to submit an application for first consideration for the
Staff Organizer position is tomorrow (Saturday) at
11:59 p.m.! Read
the job description and apply
here. We will still
consider applications submitted after that time, but we will
prioritize scheduling interviews with applicants who submit before the
deadline.
Here’s what the Staff Organizer
does:
-
Member communications. Do you get excited about writing a well-crafted email or SMS
that moves members to take action, or supporting members to write
their own? This is the job for you! We use NationBuilder, Spoke, and
CallHub.
-
Fundraising. You’ll
do email campaigns, phone banks, one-on-one asks, merch, and more! Any
fundraising experience you have is a strong plus.
- Office management. You’ll support members with checking in and
out organizing materials, handle regular restocking of the office, and
be responsible for keeping our office an invaluable resource for
organizing in the East Bay.
-
Website management. You’ll make sure our website reflects our current campaigns, and
there’s lots of room for experimentation if you want to build a robust
web presence for the chapter.
-
Data management.
Organizations like ours need to track who comes to events or takes
action and plug them into real-world organizing, and that means data,
data, data.
- Leadership development and
volunteer management. This is where
your organizing experience will shine. Do you know how to identify
who’s curious and committed? Can you hold one-on-one meetings where
you support members to lead more and more challenging organizing tasks
and projects? Can you coordinate a team to complete a shared goal like
an event or fundraising campaign? You’re in the right
place.
-
Finance support.
You’ll work with our elected Treasurer to make sure our taxes get
done, our budget is balanced, and a myriad other small finance tasks
that go into running an organization like ours. You don’t need
expertise in finance, but you should be willing to learn and
comfortable thinking and talking about money.
-
Event coordination.
You’ll support our General Meetings, coordinating a team of a
dozen-plus members so that the logistics function quietly and smoothly
and we can focus on what’s important: member democracy.
To apply, see
the full job description here and fill
out this application. For first
consideration, submit your application by Saturday, March 25th at
11:59 p.m. According to the current contract, the Staff Organizer is
not permitted to be a member of an ideological caucus during the
duration of their employment.
The position offers a wage of
$25-30 an hour, at 32 hours a week. It includes paid time off and a
stipend for healthcare.
We can’t wait to work with
you!
Solidarity,
East Bay DSA Steering
Committee
