• Identify and cultivate worker leaders as effective organizers, mentors, and conveners within their agencies.
• Maintain and grow partnerships with allies; represent FUN in coalitions to strengthen organizing efforts.
• Coordinate organizing support programs, including database management and logistics.
• Identify strategic growth opportunities and pressure points that advance FUN’s power-building goals.
• Lead regional implementation of Leadership, Organizer Training, and Political Education programs involving worker leaders, volunteers, and other FUN staff and SC members.

Qualifications, Experience and Skills include:

• Proven passion and persistence in driving complex campaigns to success.
• Track record of organizing grounded in rank-and-file unionism, emphasizing transparency, democracy, and high worker participation in escalating campaigns.
• Experience leading and supporting organizing teams, including volunteer coordination and mentorship.
• Demonstrated ability to achieve broad worker participation in all phases of union campaigns.
• Experience leading union efforts across multiple worksites or large-scale employers at regional or national levels.
• Success in campaign leadership, including oversight of staff or volunteers.
• Strong mentorship skills and experience developing volunteer organizers.
• Ability to build relationships across diverse communities and backgrounds.
• Experience forming and sustaining coalitions to support organizing goals.
• Effective communicator—skilled in listening, writing, and public speaking.
• Minimum 5 years of leadership in successful organizing campaigns.
• Deep commitment to democratic values, economic justice, equity, and inclusion.
• Experience across multiple sectors; federal sector experience strongly preferred.
• Familiarity with direct-join or pre-majority unionism and organizing in adverse legal and political environments.

Additional Requirements:

• Extended day and occasional overnight travel.
• Willingness to work long and irregular hours, including nights and weekends.
• Willingness to work in a dynamic, start up environment.
• A commitment to learning the agency- and sectoral-specific conditions of the federal workplaces being organized.
