AZ/CA Campaign Manager

One Fair Wage is an organization seeking to raise wages, enhance working conditions in the service sector and end all subminimum wages in the United States.

With the Great Resignation, millions of workers are refusing to work for subminimum wages, employers are raising wages to recruit staff, and the political landscape to advance policy to raise wages has changed dramatically. Given the historic moment, One Fair Wage has launched an ambitious campaign to advance bills and ballot measures in 25 states nationwide to raise wages and end subminimum wages in the US - and through the process, engage millions of unlikely, low-wage worker voters politically. One Fair Wage is thus advancing policy, voter engagement, employer engagement, and culture shift activities to ultimately lift millions of tipped workers out of poverty nationwide and engage them in the political process that governs their lives.

The Opportunity

One Fair Wage is hiring a Campaign Manager to supervise worker organizing and worker voter mobilization in both CA and AZ in support of 2022 ballot measures to raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour and end subminimum wages for tipped workers, workers with disabilities, and youth.

The ideal candidate for this position is strategic, energetic, and innovative, and has experience in both worker organizing and organizer supervision. The candidate will bring strong organizational, worker relationship management, and planning skills to this role and will serve as a driving force behind the ballot measure campaigns in these states.
