The HRC Staff Tier Structure is available on the HRC Staff Intranet
We strongly encourage people of color, transgender and non-binary people to apply. HRC is an equal opportunity employer and welcomes everyone, including non-LGBTQ+ people, to join our team.
Position Summary:
HRC works to defend and advance pro-LGBTQ+ policies at all levels of government, hold elected officials accountable for their votes and actions, and elect pro-equality champions to office.
The LGBTQ+ community has made tremendous strides in a short period of time with increasing support for equality throughout partisan, ideological, and demographic groups. This increasing support for equality means our movement is no longer limited to organizing and mobilizing self-identified LGBTQ+ people. A new rising “Equality Vote,” made up of self-identified LGBTQ+ individuals and their friends, family, and allies, has the potential to put equality issues at the center of electoral decision-making and activism, and pass legislation that ultimately achieves full legal equality for all LGBTQ+ individuals, including countless individuals who carry multiple marginalized identities.
In 2017, HRC launched its largest-ever grassroots expansion with robust investments in c3, c4, traditional PAC, and super PAC work that has enabled sustained engagement in battleground states and districts. Dozens of new HRC staff were hired to join existing staff in organizing volunteers, partnering with the campaigns of pro-equality candidates, and training thousands of volunteers to become leaders in the fight for equality. This investment in grassroots organizing contributed to the most expansive electoral victories in the organization’s 40-year history in 2018, 2019, and 2020.
LGBTQ+ people are as diverse as the nation, and our fight for equality is interconnected with movements for social justice that intersect across our community. The stakes for LGBTQ+ people—and all people—couldn’t be higher as we look ahead to 2022 and beyond. Passing pro-LGBTQ+ federal legislation like the Equality Act becomes much more difficult if pro-equality majorities in the U.S. Senate or U.S. House are lost. And after anti-LGBTQ+ state lawmakers enacted a record-breaking number of anti-LGBTQ+ laws in 2021, it’s imperative that we elect as many pro-LGBTQ+ candidates as we can to governor’s mansions and state legislatures. Fortunately, HRC is uniquely positioned to mobilize millions of voters who care about LGBTQ+ equality, especially younger voters and voters of color who turned out for the first time in 2018 and 2020.
The Campaign Manager reports directly to the National Campaign Director and is responsible for providing administrative support and project management to the Campaigns & Organizing department as well as supporting other members of the team with key programmatic elements of the department’s work as needs arise.

Work closely with Campaigns & Organizing department leadership to manage the team’s annual budget and monitor spending, and work with the Finance Department and other staff to draft and forecast budgets as needed.
Help on board employees and contractors, and help supervise contract work as needed.

Assist Campaigns & Organizing staff with volunteer trainings, liaising with steering committees, drafting membership communications, and other projects as needed. Draft and prepare correspondence and reports including letters, memos, and briefing materials.

Manage the process and quality control for campaign-related membership communications, collaborating with the Campaigns & Organizing team and other HRC departments.
Track progress to goal for campaign plans and department programs and help develop strategies to meet goals.
Position Qualifications:
Bachelor’s degree (or equivalent experience) and two to four years relevant work experience required.
Electoral campaign experience and working knowledge of federal and state legislative processes required.
Must be highly organized and able to handle multiple tasks simultaneously while prioritizing important issues. Meticulous attention to detail, commitment to high quality, and professionalism a must.
Ability to take the initiative, make quick and astute decisions, work efficiently and handle pressure well, manage multiple projects simultaneously and work under tight deadlines.
Excellent listening, interpersonal, communication and problem solving skills, as well as excellent writing, editing, and presentation skills.
Must be proficient with Microsoft Office applications (Word, Excel, and PowerPoint) and Google Apps (Gmail, Google Docs and Drive).
Demonstrated experience with VAN and a familiarity with other standard organizing and advocacy tools and social media required.
Experience with creating and delivering training to diverse audiences.
Experience organizing meetings and events.
Must work well as part of a team.
Flexibility with work schedule is required; work hours will vary from standard office hours, including some evenings and weekends.
When travel is safe, the ability to travel up to 10% of the time is required.
Ability to adapt to an ever-changing political environment is essential.
Strong interest in the rapidly changing LGBTQ+ equality movement and a working knowledge of LGBTQ+ issues.
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.
