Campaigns Coordinator

The take-away

Ready to take on some of the most powerful forces in our society? We’re looking for a Campaigns Coordinator to join a fierce, smart team challenging global corporations, holding them accountable, and creating a world where all people can thrive.

Why you’ll love coming to work every day

You’ll help change the world by being part of fearless and winning campaigns. You’ll be joining an organization that’s not satisfied with the world as it is—and has a vision for how it should be. When your quest is ending corporate abuse, you can’t be afraid to name names and demand what the world needs. For more than 40 years, we’ve been exposing and challenging the abuses of the likes of Nestlé, Exxon Mobil, Philip Morris International, McDonald’s, and more. We don’t back down, and we run campaigns until we win.

You’ll work with awesome people. Join a team of passionate, kind, determined, optimistic, and solutions-oriented folks. We work hard, celebrate victories large and small, and always have each other’s backs.

You can take on big responsibilities as you go. You’ll thrive here as you develop new skills, tackle new challenges, learn, and grow. We pay lots of attention to building staff leadership, and we provide support and training to help you grow in your role.

You’ll be part of an organization committed to advancing racial equity and transforming systems of oppression. We are deeply committed to prioritizing the leadership of people who bear the brunt of corporate abuse: Black and Indigenous people and other people of color, women, low-income people, people in the Global South, and LGBTQ+ folks around the world. Our unique culture has been fostered by a long history of women at the helm. We are actively focusing on the leadership of our staff of color, knowing we are stronger when the organization reflects the vision of the world we’re building together.

What you’ll do

Corporate Accountability wages powerful campaigns challenging corporate abuse—and behind every campaign victory you’ll find a variety of staff members driving its success. That’s where you come in. The campaigns coordinator works across the organization, holding a unique bird’s eye view of our campaigns, coordinating with the communications, development, and operations teams to advance campaign impact.

In this role, you will act as an engine for our Campaigns team — providing support from behind the scenes, and sometimes jumping into the mix as an organizer. The opportunities within this role will be varied and dynamic: You might lead logistics with our allies for the Africa Week of Action Against Water Privatization in the fall, and then organize with our members to attend tobacco corporations’ shareholders’ meetings in the spring. Meanwhile, you’ll be project managing materials; drafting organizing tools, social media content, or campaign updates; and ensuring the Campaigns team’s logistics, technology, and admin are all running smoothly. And when the rapid-response moment strikes, you might jump on the phones to get our members into the streets or the halls of Congress to organize for justice.

Does the adaptive nature of this role sound exciting to you? Are you ready and excited to partner with our diverse and dynamic cross-organizational team to impact the bottom line of transnational corporations? Read below to learn more about our campaigns coordinator position and how your success in this role will help ensure that we are prepared with everything we need to challenge corporate abuse across the globe.

Who you are

• The rampant abuses of corporations and the outrageous amount of power they have make you mad as hell—and you want to do something about it.
• You have a commitment to advancing racial equity and ending systems of oppression, and are ready to do this in your day-to-day work. You understand that campaigning for justice must include working to dismantle white supremacy, institutional racism, legacies of colonialism, and anti-Blackness.
• You have experience managing projects from start to finish. You know how to identify the right roles for a given project, build a successful timeline, meet deadlines, and motivate a diverse team of dedicated organizers towards achievable outcomes. And when something doesn’t go as planned, you’re ready to creatively adapt and adjust to get back on track.
• You love admin and logistics, and thrive on making things run smoothly. You’re a highly organized person: organizing spreadsheets, recording detailed notes during meetings, and keeping track of every last detail brings you great satisfaction—maybe even joy.
• You’re adaptable, ready to navigate the ever-changing conditions of corporate campaigns with support from Campaigns team leadership, and maintain high standards of security, all while keeping a close eye on all the important details we need to keep our campaigns going.
• You’re a people person. You passionately believe that relationship-based organizing is how we change the world—and you’ve got the relationship-building and interpersonal communication skills to prove it. You’re an organizer at heart and maybe by training, and whether in person, virtually, or through written communications, you make connections and build and maintain relationships for the long term. You are particularly skilled at building relationships across race, language, cultural, and gender differences. You’re a stellar active listener, adept at responding to nonverbal and verbal cues, and can quickly adjust your communication style to what works best for the context and move through conflict when it arises.
• You’ve got strong English writing skills. You know how to communicate complex issues in simple, clear messages—and you can tweak those messages for different audiences in different contexts. Your strong attention to detail ensures your writing is grammatically correct and clear. And you consistently seek and implement feedback to improve your craft as you go.
• You have 2-4 years of experience in organizing, or other relevant fields.

What you’ll be responsible for in the day-to-day

• Provide logistical, scheduling, and tech support to the campaigns team for virtual and in-person events, including handling international travel logistics such as visa processes, transportation and hotel bookings, and keeping track of associated deadlines.
• Support the campaigns and grant-making teams with financial administrative support including drafting, project managing, and processing contracts, payments, and grants to our campaign allies, in coordination with our finance team.
• Work in coordination with our communications and campaign teams to draft and/or project manage materials such as social media toolkits, updates for members, campaign reports, translations, and more.
• Develop and steward systems, protocols, and tools that help the campaigns unit plan ahead and stay on track. Support our campaign leadership in identifying bottlenecks and coordination needs across campaigns, and developing creative solutions that maximize resources.
• Play a core organizing role to advance tactics across our campaign and program areas as assigned, based on evolving organizational and campaign priorities.
• Ensure accreditations and work plans with the U.N., WHO, and other international institutions are maintained and up-to-date, with support from campaigns team leadership.
• Travel up to 4 times each year to represent Corporate Accountability at conferences, campaign events, recruitment activities, and in-person planning sessions or team meetings. Our current approach to travel is staff-led, meaning we will continue to center the health and safety of our staff in these decisions.
• Actively participate in organization-wide planning, fundraising, racial equity work, recruitment, and campaign activities.
