Description
Unite America seeks a full-time Sr. Director of Legislative Campaigns to join our Campaigns team. Reporting to one of our two Vice Presidents of Campaigns, this individual will oversee the due diligence, investment recommendations, and execution of a portfolio of legislative campaigns across Unite America’s priority issue areas.
Within a growing organization, this role requires hands-on project management and execution (“no task too small”) alongside longer-term strategic development of our campaign work. To be successful in this role, a candidate should have a strong understanding of the legislative process and feel comfortable working in a fast-paced political environment. In addition, you are a diligent, dynamic self-starter who can proactively identify and address challenges and opportunities, and you are excited about contributing to team culture and leadership.
Unite America strongly encourages candidates from diverse backgrounds and from across the political and ideological spectrum to apply.
The position will be based at Unite America’s headquarters in Denver, CO, or remote. Unite America offers a stipend for new hires willing to relocate. This position may be expected to travel 2-4 times per month for both campaign efforts and broader organizational needs (team meetings, retreats, etc).
OUR ORGANIZATION
Unite America is a non-partisan, philanthropic venture fund that invests in candidates, campaigns, and organizations in order to advance nonpartisan election reforms that will foster a more representative and functional government capable of solving America’s most pressing challenges.
Founded in 2014, Unite America and its 35+ person team has grown to be a leader in the democracy reform movement. The organization has existed in its current form, and with its current primary focus, since 2019; in that time, we have successfully mobilized tens of millions of dollars from scores of philanthropists to candidates and reform campaigns across the country.
At Unite America, we are working to build a more representative and functional government that puts voters first and reflects the diversity of our country, and an inclusive democracy in which leaders embrace problem-solving over fueling divisiveness. Likewise, we have a vision of building an organization that reflects diverse identities, experiences, and perspectives, a culture of working across differences toward common goals, and a workplace where everyone feels included, respected, and heard. To that end, Unite America is proud to have made diversifying our team, ensuring more equitable opportunity, and fostering a culture of belonging a priority. Our organizational values reinforce this commitment as we work to model the leadership we seek, solve problems together, and take care of one another, to name a few.
