Organizing Director

About us

We are a new AI advocacy organization launching publicly in late summer 2026. Our goal is to amplify everyday voices and build a broad-based movement capable of winning federal AI policy. We want policies that create an economy that works for everyone, not just Big AI; that defend our essential freedoms; and that prevent the development of AI systems that pose existential risks to humans and the planet.

Public anxiety about AI is rising faster than almost any other political issue, and neither party has earned voters' trust on it. For years, the response to AI risk has been white papers and closed-door meetings; what's been missing is organized grassroots political power. We are building the movement to take back our future.

Our team includes veterans of the climate movement, civil rights organizations, national labor unions, and progressive electoral campaigns. You'd be building an organizing operation with real resources behind it on an issue that is about to become unavoidable.

The role

The Organizing Director owns how we bring people into this movement and what we ask of them once they're in. You'll build the organizing program from the ground up: the model, the leadership ladder, the trainings, and the distributed structure. We're looking for a driven leader who can design an organizing model and then run it at scale, develop leaders, and convert diffuse public anxiety into mobilizations that candidates and elected officials can't ignore.

Organizing model and infrastructure. Evaluate, design, and build our organizing model and the systems underneath it: recruitment pipelines, onboarding, leadership ladders, training curriculum, and the data and tools that hold it together.

Mobilization and mass actions. Build and respond to the critical moments where we can sway politicians and the public to our side: mass mobilizations, distributed events, lobby days, and rapid-response actions.

Leadership development. Identify, train, and support volunteer leaders in key states and districts. Build a program that moves people from ambivalence, to support, to active participation, to grassroots leadership.

Strategy and management. Serve on the senior leadership team, set organizing strategy through the 2026 and 2028 cycles and the legislative window that follows, and hire and manage field organizers and organizing staff as we grow. Work with our political and communications teams so that organizing energy lands on the right targets, and with counsel to keep activity properly structured across our 501(c)(3) and 501(c)(4) entities.

Who you are

We are a small team of experienced organizers, campaigners, and communicators with a big vision, and are looking for dynamic, motivated collaborators who can help build the organization's core functions. We don't expect anyone to check every box. If you meet most of this and the mission grabs you, apply:

10+ years in organizing — labor, community, issue advocacy, or electoral field — with senior-level responsibility for organizing strategy.

You've built something. You have stood up an organizing program, a chapter network, or a distributed structure where one didn't exist, and can speak to what worked and what didn't.

Ready to get your hands dirty. We are a startup organization, so it’s all hands on deck. We dig in together on high-level strategy and mundane everyday tasks.

Leadership development fluency. You know how to turn supporters into leaders and leaders into organizers, and you have opinions about which models do that well at scale.

Turnout instincts. You can name the number you'll hit and hit it, and you understand what systems need to be in place to actually move people.

Fluency with organizing data and tools, including CRMs, distributed organizing platforms, and the metrics that tell you whether a program is healthy.

Excellent project management skills, with efficient time and workload management skills and orientation to detail

Collaborative and respectful. You work well both independently and collaboratively and have a track record of working with people across lines of difference and engaging with diverse communities.

Consistently good judgment and integrity. You can make tough calls with incomplete information, know when to speed up or slow down, and will work through challenging situations to advance our mission.

Excellent written and verbal communication. You can present complex ideas clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.

Populist orientation. We punch up at concentrated corporate power, and elevate the voices of everyday people.

Interest in AI policy. Deep expertise is great, but a willingness to learn is all that is required.

Fully covered health, dental, and vision for you and your family; 3% automatic 401(k) contribution; generous PTO.
