MoveOn is a people-powered force for progress. We wield independent political power by bringing millions together to take action to create a country with a place of honor and dignity for everyone—where all are welcome, we take care of one another, and where everyone is set up to thrive.

Whether it's democracy, health care, foreign policy, economic justice, immigration, or otherwise, MoveOn provides our members with timely ways to take action for change.

The Campaign Director is responsible for developing and running campaigns at MoveOn, driving high-impact, public-engaging efforts to involve our millions of members and the broader public in rapid-response moments and sharp strategic initiatives. This role coordinates and leverages MoveOn’s many functional teams to bring the full power of our social, mobile, field, communications, and other tools to bear on strategic campaign work. 

Duties and Responsibilities

• Identify, develop and lead high-profile, high-impact, creative, digital-first campaigns and offline strategies that center equity and progressive values, tap into MoveOn member energy, harness credible theories of change, and have the capacity to propel national impact.
• Engage partner organizations, especially those representing impacted communities, to inform priorities and strategic direction for campaigns.
• Track breaking news and longer-term trends affecting organizational and campaign priorities.
• Write compelling emails and associated mobile, press, and social content that motivates members to take a range of actions.
