Dear Friend --

We’re hiring a new Staff Organizer! 

After six months on staff, our current staffer Ella is stepping down, although she plans to remain highly engaged in the chapter. That means we’re hiring a new staffer. Is it you?

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 PM. 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
