Global Zero seeks a talented digital architect and creative engagement strategist who is committed to ending the existential threat posed by nuclear weapons and securing justice for communities harmed by the nuclear weapons complex.
The Partner for Digital will be the linchpin in the development of an online full-court press that expands our audiences across multiple platforms, strengthens our ability to raise funds online, and amplifies our message that urgent action is needed to eliminate nuclear weapons globally.
In this position, you will leverage the smarts of a diverse team of campaigners, a global community of senior political leaders, military commanders and national security experts, a growing group of young volunteer activists, a widely recognized and respected international brand, and 501(c)(3) and (c)(4) capabilities. You’ll help us combine creative and bold campaigns with sophisticated digital infrastructure, sharp visuals, engaging content, and clear messages that equip people with the information and tools they need to speak truth to power and pressure decision-makers to act.
Background
Global Zero is spearheading an audacious campaign to eradicate all nuclear weapons everywhere and unlock a world of possibility beyond the bomb in our lifetime.
We don’t believe global security can be built on threats of mass destruction. We reject the narrative that insists we accept the enormous risks these weapons pose to our communities and our planet. We refuse to be complicit in the undemocratic, unjust and terrifyingly absolute power to kill hundreds of millions of people at the push of a button. And we will not stand idly by while nuclear-armed governments pursue dangerous plans that make nuclear conflict all but inevitable.
This year, we’ve undertaken a radical reimagining of our work. Leading with our values and bringing a campaign-strategy mindset to everything we do, we’ve pioneered a pathbreaking new organizational model that:
Carries forward an intersectional, multi-pronged, cross-functional approach to building movements and influencing policy;
Couples feminist and anti-racist leadership principles with an experimental mindset;
Replaces traditional departments and hierarchies in favor of a flatter partnership where roles are mapped to core needs; and
Prioritizes institutional agility, radical candor and transparency, systems thinking, and whole person support.
The Job
We can’t persuade governments to take bold action if we don’t expand our audience and win the story wars, and we’ll need you at the table to ensure that powerful storytelling and cutting-edge digital engagement is a major pillar of our strategy.
As Partner for Digital, you’ll be tasked with building out our digital infrastructure and leading engagement strategy, ensuring that our messages break out and break through to new audiences. This is a rare opportunity — at a unique moment of transformation and possibility — to take a leading role at a high-profile and influential organization working at every level to rid the world of nuclear weapons and change the way we think about and manifest security.
In this position, you’ll be responsible for shaping the digital vision and delivering on growth and engagement objectives, while threading the needle between Global Zero’s thought leadership and movement-building work. You will bring to the table current experience with digital leadership and innovation, and a history of engaging online audiences in important policy debates, channeling interest and outrage into action, and winning campaigns, as well as strong message development, writing, and management skills.
The Partner for Digital will lead the following key activities to raise the profile of our issue and organization, expand our reach and build strength over time:
Online Advocacy: Develop and implement online advocacy strategies, and design and execute plans to grow and leverage social media audiences, email lists, and website traffic.
Digital Marketing: Oversee all aspects of online public engagement and community management, assure consistent communication of organizational values and policy positions, and design and execute digital communication/marketing plans for Global Zero initiatives.
Content Management: Create a comprehensive institutional and programmatic digital marketing plan and calendar. Serve as project manager for all digital communications deliverables including email, social media content and ads, and digital campaigns.
Leadership: Bring strong leadership, organizational development experience, and management acumen, and an affinity for learning and mentoring.
Collaboration: Work across teams and in deep collaboration with partners to help them develop communications, digital, and engagement strategies to achieve mutual objectives and growth.
Transformation: Advocate for creative digital thinking and innovative approaches to storytelling and engagement at all levels of the organization.
We’ll be honest: It’s a big job and a lot is riding on it. Digital is an area that is chronically misunderstood, undervalued, and underutilized in the broader nuclear advocacy field, and you’re going to help us change that.
You
Are a creative and resourceful strategist who understands the unique power and potential of digital outreach, marketing, and advocacy, and knows what it takes to break out and break through;
Take initiative in everything you do, and understand how to work in deep collaboration;
Are entrepreneurial and intellectually curious by nature, as well as analytical and technologically savvy;
Are enthusiastic about experimenting and learning from mistakes, but also respect metrics and outcomes;
Can prioritize in a rapidly evolving work environment and stay calm, steady, and upbeat;
Won’t be spiritually crushed by thinking and talking about nuclear weapons and existential threats on the regular;
Can see the big picture without losing sight of important details; and
Are eager to help shape a stronger and more intentional culture of impact, trust, empathy, and belonging.
Your Record
Up-to-date background in all aspects of a modern digital engagement leadership position, with demonstrable experience working in increasingly leadership-oriented digital strategy roles;
Strong understanding of digital analytics, including ability to collect, analyze, and interpret data to guide data-informed decision-making;
Experience using some (or all) of the online platforms currently employed, including but not limited to Action Network, WordPress, and social media channels;
Values-based message development, writing, and research/testing skills;
Digital communications, storytelling, and channel management expertise; and
A commitment to integrity, inclusion, compassion, and totally crushing it on the job.
Bonus!
Do you have other skills that we should know about? Here are a few things we think are great but not required:
Experience building and leveraging an influencer outreach program to grow the profile and connections of Global Zero staff, movement leaders, and experts;
Great eye for compelling visuals and design;
Witty GIF-master and meme-machine;
Subject matter expertise in peace and security, international affairs and/or nuclear weapons; and, finally,
Willing to split a pizza with almost any topping (except ham and pineapple, gross).
The Setup
This is a full-time exempt position being filled at the Partner (I) level, which sits in our $80,000-$100,000 pay band and requires advanced proficiency.
Other benefits include:
6 weeks paid leave, 1 week of paid sick leave and 12 weeks paid parental leave;
Platinum-level health insurance for you and your family at no cost to you;
4-day work weeks (and no, we don’t mean squeezing five days into four);
10% retirement contributions, work from home allowances, and professional development expenses; and
Talented, compassionate, and occasionally hilarious colleagues who are committed to the idea that this vital work can and must be joyful.
We do our best to strike a balance between the needs of individuals and the organization. It’s a lot of asynchronous work, virtual work sessions, and online project management/tracking that relies heavily on platforms like Slack, Asana, and Mural.
While a number of staff are located in the Washington, DC area, we’re a remote-first operation and able to hire from any geographic location.
How To Apply
We are looking for someone who is comfortable working both independently and in teams, highly responsive, and able to lead initiatives as well as take direction from others. If that’s you, please click here to submit a cover letter, resume, and samples of your work.
Nuclear weapons threaten every person on Earth and disproportionately harm women and communities of color — and our work must reflect that fact. Global Zero is committed to cultivating and supporting a workplace rooted in the values of diversity, equity, justice, and belonging. We understand continuous learning, meaningful reflection, radical candor, and leading by example in our interactions with others both within and outside our organization are vital to achieve our goals and foster a safe work environment for everyone. We provide structured and unstructured opportunities for anti-bias development and growth to staff and volunteers and build just and proactive organizational policies to ensure we are living our truth in all we do as an organization — and in partnership with the broader movements in which we operate.
We're committed to building a diverse and inclusive movement and recognize that's impossible without first building a diverse and inclusive team. We welcome applications from all, and especially encourage those who have been traditionally sidelined from nuclear policy and advocacy — including women, Black people, Indigenous people, people of color, people with disabilities, immigrants, refugees, and LGBTQ folks — to apply.
We can't wait to hear from you!

You
Have at least 2 years of field organizing or campaign experience (paid or volunteer will be considered);
Are intellectually curious by nature and have a knack for solving puzzles through strategic thinking;
Are highly organized and occasionally (OK, frequently) described by your peers as “a tiny bit obsessive” about details;

In addition, the selected candidate will support work in the following domains led by other staff:
Grassroots strategy: Plan and execute large scale mobilizations to draw media and public attention to the threat nuclear weapons pose.

Digital advocacy: Build activism tools in programs such as Action Network, national email campaigns, blog posts, and social media to advance key policy objectives. Edit and review volunteer blog submissions for tone, clarity and accuracy.
Content development: Draft clear, concise, and engaging content that translates complex nuclear weapons issues into engaging narratives to help us build our movement (don’t worry, you don’t have to be an issue expert to do this).
You
Have at least 2 years of field organizing or campaign experience (paid or volunteer will be considered);
Are intellectually curious by nature and have a knack for solving puzzles through strategic thinking;
Are highly organized and occasionally (OK, frequently) described by your peers as “a tiny bit obsessive” about details;
Take initiative in everything you do, and understand how to work in deep collaboration;
Are enthusiastic about experimenting and learning from mistakes, but also respect metrics and outcomes;
Can communicate clearly orally and in writing;
Are digitally active on social media platforms and excited to learn about digital campaigning in issue advocacy;
Aren’t afraid to ask questions and challenge assumptions;
Can multitask like a boss and keep cool under pressure;
Won’t be spiritually crushed by thinking about nuclear weapons and existential threats on the regular;
Are ready to turn out yourself and activists to all sorts of progressive rallies, marches, sit-ins, vigils, press conferences, etc., with supplies, signs, and your yelling voice;
Prepared to travel for field visits and work occasional intense hours;
Are eager to help shape a stronger and more intentional culture of impact, trust, empathy, and belonging; and
Have a commitment to integrity, inclusion, compassion, and totally crushing it on the job.
Bonus!
Do you have other skills that we should know about? Here are a few things we think are great but not required:
Familiarity with Wordpress, Action Network, and social media platforms;
Phone banking, canvassing, and storytelling ninja;
Spanish language proficiency; and, finally,
Karaoke artistry and lockpicking (just in case).
The Setup
This is a full-time exempt position being filled at the Associate Partner (II) level, which sits in our $60,000-$80,000 pay band and requires relevant skill proficiency.
Other benefits include:
6 weeks paid leave, 1 week of paid sick leave, and 12 weeks paid parental leave;
Platinum-level health insurance for you and your family at no cost to you;
Four-day work weeks (and no, we don’t mean squeezing five days into four);
10% retirement contributions, work from home allowances, professional development expenses; and
Talented, compassionate, and occasionally hilarious colleagues who are committed to the idea that this vital work can and must be joyful.
We do our best to strike a balance between the needs of individuals and the organization. It’s a lot of asynchronous work, virtual work sessions, and online project management/tracking that relies heavily on platforms like Slack, Asana, and Mural.
While a number of staff are located in the Washington, DC area, we’re a remote-first operation and able to hire from any geographic location.
How To Apply
We are looking for someone who is comfortable working both independently and in teams, highly responsive, and able to lead initiatives as well as take direction from others. If that’s you, please click here to submit a cover letter, resume, and samples of your work.
Nuclear weapons threaten every person on Earth and disproportionately harm women and communities of color — and our work must reflect that fact. Global Zero is committed to cultivating and supporting a workplace rooted in the values of diversity, equity, justice, and belonging. We understand continuous learning, meaningful reflection, radical candor, and leading by example in our interactions with others both within and outside our organization are vital to achieve our goals and foster a safe work environment for everyone. We provide structured and unstructured opportunities for anti-bias development and growth to staff and volunteers and build just and proactive organizational policies to ensure we are living our truth in all we do as an organization — and in partnership with the broader movements in which we operate.
We're committed to building a diverse and inclusive movement and recognize that's impossible without first building a diverse and inclusive team. We welcome applications from all, and especially encourage those who have been traditionally sidelined from nuclear policy and advocacy — including women, people of color, people with disabilities, immigrants, refugees, and LGBTQ folks — to apply.
We can't wait to hear from you!

Our firm is strengthened by our staff’s diversity: Regardless of age, color, national origin, citizenship status, physical or mental disability, race, religion, creed, gender, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity and/or expression, genetic information, marital status, status with regard to public assistance, veteran status, or any other underrepresented identity, we strongly encourage you to apply. In addition, Stones’ Phones will provide reasonable accommodations for qualified individuals with disabilities.
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. 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 Deputy National Campaign Director will ensure state-based organizing staff are equipped and empowered to develop proactive, strategic, and holistic campaign plans to win elections and legislative outcomes. They will assist in strategic campaign planning with state-based organizing staff, and work in concert with leaders within the department and across the organization to provide guidance and support for electoral and legislative campaigns.
The Deputy Director will be a critical thinker and strategist who grasps HRC’s long-term goals and the dynamics that shape our work in the electoral and legislative space, while understanding the day-to-day execution necessary to deliver on our mission. They will enjoy managing multiple staff and a variety of projects simultaneously and will have the organizational skills necessary to stay on top of a broad scope of work. They will thrive in a fast-paced, campaign-like environment and bring with them an inclination to solve problems creatively.
This position requires experience managing programs and staff, and plays a major role in management of electoral and legislative campaigns. The position will provide experienced leadership and strategic planning for HRC’s national political program. This position reports to the National Campaign Director.
Position Responsibilities:
Provide strategic guidance to state-based organizing staff in the development, implementation, and evaluation of proactive electoral and legislative campaign plans, objectives, tactics, and strategies.
Develop and maintain coalitions through the lens of equity, intersectionality, and allyship. HRC’s leadership in campaign, legislative, and advocacy spaces must include engagement and partnerships with LGBTQ+ communities, BIPOC communities, social and reproductive justice organizations, and organizations serving marginalized communities.
Provide supervision and leadership to state-based staff, ensuring their integration into HRC operations, supporting their work to create lasting collaborative relationships with national, state and local partners, fostering peer-to-peer collaboration across states and regions, and providing mentorship to help them grow to their full potential.
Identify resource needs for individual states and work within HRC or with other organizations to fill those needs.
Provide day-to-day management and oversight of budget and expenses.
Manage external relationships and partnerships as needed.
Help lead an integrated process to strategically engage other HRC departments , communicate regarding campaign and organizing efforts and related progress, and ensure goals are met.
Develop and implement strategies to streamline resources to support in-state activity and to avoid duplicative work.
Analyze and leverage existing assets of HRC to develop and track campaign metrics relating to field goals, communications, online organizing, membership growth, and civic engagement in order to ensure rigorous program evaluation and provide quality control; and formulate and implement corrective action as needed.
Manage employees including, when applicable, interviewing, hiring, training, conducting performance reviews, coaching, motivating, and disciplining employees.
Work with leadership to establish accountability systems to ensure campaign and organizing goals are met, including the implementation of post-campaign debriefs and assessments.
When requested, represent HRC and HRC's efforts through media interviews, presentations at major conferences, and participating in relevant coalitions, committees, and boards.
Work closely with the office of the general counsel to ensure compliance with election and legislative lobbying laws.
Travel as needed to HRC-sponsored events.
Prepare and submit regular and ad hoc reports as requested.
Other duties and responsibilities as assigned.
Position Qualifications:
Bachelor’s degree (or equivalent work experience) preferred with a minimum of 7-10 years of electoral campaign, legislative campaign, and/or advocacy experience.
Direct management experience building and leading highly effective teams required.
Experience with strategic planning, coalition building, project management, and implementation.
Strong understanding of LGBTQ+ issues and experience with federal, state and local political and legislative processes.
Unwavering commitment to centering diversity, equity, and inclusion in all aspects of work, and a demonstrated ability to develop strategies and tactics to create equitable and inclusive outcomes.
Excellent written and verbal communications skills, including an ability to communicate with diverse groups of people with sensitivity and appreciation to cultural differences.
Distinct attention to detail, superior multitasking and prioritization skills, and ability to identify and communicate items needing further attention.
Ability to keep organizational strategy front and center and also understand what is needed for day-to-day execution of the work.
Spanish-speakers and other bilingual applicants are encouraged

Title: Climate Strategy Director
Department : Executive Office
Status : Exempt
Reports To: Chief of Staff
Positions Reporting to this Position: None
Location : Flexible
General Description :
LCV believes our earth is worth fighting for because everyone has a right to clean air, water, and a safe, healthy community. To ensure those rights are protected, we help people use their power to shape policy, hold politicians and polluters accountable, and influence elections.
Our over 2 million members, our volunteers and staff, and our more than 30 state affiliates (together, the Conservation Voter Movement) work for a more just and equitable democracy, where people—not polluters—determine our future. This movement is an influential network in Washington, DC, in state capitals, and in communities around the country.
LCV’s dynamic, multi-faceted climate program—which spans our entire organization as a top priority—needs a focused leader in the Climate Strategy Director who can effectively marshal all of our efforts toward LCV’s collective climate goals. And, our goals are big and meaningful—with our 30+ Conservation Voter Movement (CVM) state affiliates—we aim to defeat the fossil fuel industry and win policies that deliver clean energy for all and fundamentally transform our economy to be more just and equitable. This means addressing historic and present environmental injustice and lifting up working people by creating high-quality careers, spreading economic benefits widely, and building strong and resilient communities. We strive for our campaigns to be grounded in authentic partnerships with organizations led by those most impacted by climate change—including communities of color and youth, to build grassroots and political power, and to advance climate justice. At its core, this highly collaborative leadership position, working in coordination with the Chief of Staff and other senior leaders, would be responsible for guiding an inclusive strategy that elevates the following initiatives into a comprehensive, effective climate program:
Clean Energy for All Campaign. Through our Clean Energy for All campaign, LCV and our CVM state affiliates have won some of the most far reaching state climate policy victories, and in part thanks to our work, 1 in 4 people now live in a place that is committed to 100% clean energy.
Grassroots Community Organizing. LCV’s community organizing is anchored in achieving climate justice, and continues to build grassroots and political power and authentic partnerships with organizations and movements led by young people, people of color and communities that are affected first and worst by climate impacts.
Electoral Programs. Our state and federal electoral programs have elevated climate change and helped get pro-climate candidates into public office.
Creative Communications. We have expanded the climate movement through creative communications, including storytelling and multi-platform online and offline communications channels.
Federal Advocacy. LCV’s federal advocacy team leads the translation of our organization’s political power to advance federal policies that address the climate crisis in racially and socially just ways.
To bring these strong forces together into a cohesive strategy, we are looking for an experienced campaign strategist, specifically, someone who has run issue campaigns that are deeply rooted in advancing racial justice and equity and that spans both state and federal policy. Given the urgency of the climate crisis, we need someone who can leverage the moment we’re in and build power for the long haul.
Responsibilities :
Develop the strategy and oversee the execution of LCV and our 30+ CVM state affiliates climate campaign.
Engage and work with LCV staff, funders, coalition partners, and 30+ CVM state affiliates throughout the country to create a campaign strategy that aligns federal, state and local campaign programs to advance our shared climate change priorities.
Work collaboratively and inclusively across all LCV departments to ensure we effectively leverage all of our expertise and resources in order to meet our organization’s bold climate goals, including by:
Marshalling LCV climate resources—including staff, grassroots leadership, messaging, coalition engagement, opinion research, and paid and earned media.
Ensuring that the stories, voices, and vision of our grassroots base—particularly communities of color and young people—are central to the campaign’s process and outcomes and are seen as agents of change at the local and federal levels.
Preparing reports and materials for donor and board meetings and helping raise resources for the climate campaign.
Foster transformational partnerships with national progressive organizations as well as climate justice, economic and racial justice organizations and coalitions in coordination with other key LCV staff.
Ensure that the campaign theory of change, goals, strategies, and tactics are advancing racial justice and equity and furthering an inclusive organizational culture.

Experience working with state/local level campaigns or organizations, multiple coalition partners, and national organizations that have state affiliates or chapters. Familiarity with budget management.
Strongly Preferred - Familiarity with climate policy and experience in the climate movement.
Preferred - Successful direct supervisory experience.
Skills: Proven ability to manage strategic and effective issue campaigns. Superior political judgment, including understanding the disparate political makeup of a wide range of states. Proven track record of successfully working across lines of race, ethnicity, language, class, gender and other identities and experiences. Excellent written and oral communication skills. Highly collaborative and excellent listener. Passionate about addressing the climate crisis and elevating the leadership of communities impacted by climate change and environmental injustice. Works well in a fast-paced environment and able to manage competing priorities. Experience building and managing strong teams. Effective fiscal management.

Understanding of the ways in which principles of racial justice and equity are vital to addressing climate change effectively.
