Lead for BIPOC Fellowship on Advanced Campaigning in the Digital Age at Social Movement Technologies

Collaborating with SMT full-time team members, board members, and partner organizations, the Cohort Lead is responsible for:

• Funder and movement partner outreach - coordinate outreach to and join calls with funder and movement partners who will support the program through providing funding, sending staff, or hiring alumni
• Participant recruitment and selection - use email, social media, and relational outreach to recruit and select a terrific first cohort
• Session design and facilitation - design a rigorous and thoughtful program combining asynchronous readings and videos with live sessions over the course of six months, bringing the best of SMT to the cohort participants
• Overall project management - be the “center of gravity” for this project, effectively communicating timelines, managing and organizing SMT staff, partners, and board members to bring the best of the organization to cohort members

The right person for this role has a background in movement campaigning with an understanding of power. They do not need to possess all of the technical knowledge that will be a part of the cohort, but must effectively be able to collaborate with others who do.
