About The Position

Change.org is seeking Elections Organizers for Change.vote, a platform focused on increasing clarity, trust, and participation in democracy for voters and elected officials. This role involves managing the recruitment, negotiation, and onboarding of distribution and endorsing partners, including working with campus interns. The organizer will report to the Partnerships Lead and will be responsible for driving traffic to Change.vote through partnerships and campus interns, as well as recruiting endorsers. Change.org is the world's largest platform for democracy, investing in AI to build tools that empower people and bring diverse groups together to find common solutions. The core petitions platform is growing rapidly, and a new platform is being developed to identify common ground issues and mobilize people for solutions. Change.org is also building Change.vote, a trusted, accessible, and transparent election information platform in the US, with a goal to scale to millions of voters nationwide by 2026. The team is expanding to include talented individuals at the intersection of technology and social impact, focused on building healthier democracies globally.

Requirements

• An existing network of civic or advocacy contacts; ideally local/field-level, not just statewide leadership.
• Comfortable initiating cold outreach and closing relationships independently; Outreach volume will determine success in this role.
• Experience managing volunteers or interns.
• Can work independently and adapt tactics without needing a rigid script.
• AI experience needed: fluent and increasingly strategic.
• At least two cycles of campaign or advocacy work, specifically in organizing, field, political, comms, or marketing (digital or otherwise).

Nice To Haves

• Bilingual (English and Spanish)

Responsibilities

• Identify and build relationships with civic, advocacy, and community organizations across target markets, mostly cities.
• Build and manage distribution partnerships with civic organizations, nonprofits, and other non-partisan entities (e.g., corporations) across the state.
• Map the local nonprofit landscape in each target market and prioritize organizations with existing voter engagement infrastructure.
• Provide orgs with simple, ready-to-use distribution assets — flyers, social copy, email blurbs, QR codes — so adoption requires minimal lift on their end.
• Coordinate distribution moments tied to their existing calendar: community events, service days, open enrollment periods, back-to-school nights, etc.
• Help recruit and fully manage campus representatives within your assigned markets with specific outreach goals.
• Recruit organizations to contribute their endorsements and commentary to Change.vote.
• Navigate each organization's approval process — often multiple stakeholders, sometimes state or national sign-off.
