Transportation Choices Coalition seeks an Education and Engagement Manager to support public

education and engagement around our mission. The Education and Engagement Manager is a key team

member who works across the organization to develop and implement engagement strategies.

Take ownership of your work. You care deeply about getting results in your realm, and you do

what it takes to get them, including paying attention to even small details, anticipating problems,

offering creative solutions, driving work forward, and course-correcting when needed.

• Be relationship-oriented and embrace collaboration. You recognize the deep importance that

relationships play in our work, and you build rapport and trust with others.

• Center racial equity. You are committed to understanding historical and current inequities and

commit to shift power, resources, and decision-making to communities of color and those most

impacted by issues related to transportation.

• Demonstrate a commitment to our mission. You are excited to be part of an organization

committed to advocating for safe, sustainable, and equitable transportation across Washington.

• Be thoughtful and follow through on commitments. Communicate clearly, honestly, and openly.

If you cannot keep a commitment, explain why and renegotiate well in advance. Ask for what

you need and be willing to give and receive feedback at all levels.

• Approach work with a spirit of “yes.” You firmly believe that we can all do things we’ve never

done before, and can challenge ourselves to achieve incredible results. Look for ways to make

ideas work before assuming they won’t. Take calculated risks and view failures as learning

opportunities. Be flexible and adapt as things change (which they inevitably will!).
