Senior Pacific Regional Organizer

Resource Generation (RG) is recruiting for a Senior Pacific Regional Organizer.

The candidate must be based in the U.S. and reside in CA, OR, WA, NV, AZ, UT, ID, MT, WY, or NM.

The ideal candidate is a community organizer with some knowledge/familiarity of the organizing infrastructure in the Pacific region who excels at building relationships with member leaders, is deeply committed to economic and racial justice, is passionate about creating the leadership of others, and can excellently manage multiple projects and timelines.
