This job is for you if...you’re super driven and ambitious about building progressive movements; you have experience with both online and offline organizing; you think strategically, are hungry to learn; work really well with people; you’re entrepreneurial at heart - nimble at finding ways to meet needs and shape solutions. This is a position with opportunity for growth and impact, with access to support, mentoring, and training to tackle new tools & tactics.
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 3500+ groups and unions over its first eight years, and worked with 100+ 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.
We regret that we will not be able to acknowledge all applications in a personal way, nor do we have the capacity to have pre-application conversations. We greatly appreciate that time and care is invested in each of them. Position will be open until filled.
Compensation. This is a full-time position. The total compensation package range is $50-70K, depending on experience and location in North America. Top of scale would be highest level of experience, in a U.S. high-cost city. SMT has a pay policy for its global team that adjusts compensation based on cost-of-living. Additional benefits include a monthly contribution towards health care, an employer match to 401K plan contributions, sick leave, 3+ weeks of vacation, and federal holidays (additional vacation time can be worked out if needed, with a reduction in salary). We offer support for remote work, training and mentoring, and a driven, highly collaborative, supportive work environment. We are looking for this to be a full-time position with competitive salary and benefits for the right person. We are open to starting at part-time, hourly for 1-3 months for candidates interested in that arrangement.
Location. Social Movement Technologies is a 100% remote organization so no need to commute or relocate. Our team members are based across the world and work over video, Slack, and through project management tools.
