Movement Admin Support (Part Time, Remote) at Social Movement Technologies

This job is for you if...you're passionate about building progressive movements, and you love helping things run smoothly and efficiently and being of service to people requesting help...and you also are happy to do critical but sometimes mundane behind-the-scenes work.

Social Movement Technologies’ mission is to provide organizing strategy, training and campaign support to build people-power for justice and win in the digital age. We're a non-profit/NGO movement support group, driven 100% to meet movement needs. We're super lean - we do lots with little, just like most of the groups we work with.

SMT’s small but highly effective team has trained staff from over 2400 groups and unions over its first seven years, and worked with 70+ groups on campaigns more in-depth.

SMT provides the in-depth digital campaign training that staff and activists need in the digital age. Our goal is to expand access by driving down the cost of this training and providing excellent online learning experiences to dramatically deepen digital organizing proficiency. Our focus is on using digital campaigning to amplify in-person action, broaden support, activate supporters, and pressure targets. Our bias is towards meeting the needs of small to medium-size groups.

Compensation and Hours. This is a contract position, for 3-10 hours/week (will vary and can be somewhat flexible also according to your needs). Must be able to work during normal office hours most of the time. We would prefer you to be available during scheduled blocks of time, although those blocks can vary and you can adjust them some to meet your needs.

Here are some examples of what you will do:

• In general, coordinate with other admin staff for overflow work
• Clean up data in spreadsheets
• Help with a variety of outreach tasks using several tools
• At times, respond to questions and inquiries by organizing groups
• Help with training registration
• Help manage SMT's social media accounts so as to support movement groups and curate content of interest
• Other as needed

What we’re looking for in you:

• Committed and experienced with movement work.
• High attention to detail is a must!
• Able to multi-task and juggle multiple projects and communicate reliably about them
• Familiar with Action Network or quick study with experience using CRMs
• Comfortable manipulating data in spreadsheets/uploading/downloading
• Friendly and encouraging, and able to convey this via email, video conferencing and phone
• Super interested in learning more and staying abreast of new developments
• Able to schedule yourself reliably and attentive to deadlines
• Interested in this for more than just a few months. This is not a short-term in-between kind of part-time position.

How to apply: Please let us know where you heard about the job. Tell us why the position seems like a good fit, and how this position will mesh with other commitments, especially since it is part time. Upload a file that includes a resume and a list of online tools and platforms with which you are proficient. (You may be asked to demonstrate proficiency via screenshare.) This app only allows one doc upload, so please include your list of tools at the end of your cover letter. If you have other work you'd like to share, include a link to a folder or other documents at the bottom of your cover letter. References will be requested at a later point. Position will be open until filled.

We regret that we will not be able to acknowledge all applications in a personal way, nor do we have the capacity to discuss with applicants before they apply. We greatly appreciate that time and care is invested in each of them.
