Digital Campaigns Manager

A2 (Anthropocene Alliance) is the nation’s largest coalition of frontline communities fighting for environmental protection. We represent more than 400 member-communities in all US states and territories. The breadth and depth of our interventions make us distinct in the environmental movement: By educating, organizing and supporting grassroots leaders and their communities, we are at the forefront of the movement to stop the use of fossil fuels, restore threatened ecosystems, and establish an environmentally sustainable economic and social order.

A2 is currently establishing a national network of our State Organizing Committees (SOCs). Each SOC is hosted by an existing A2 member who will bring together other grassroots organizations in their state. A2 will help them with building their base, fundraising, technical assistance, connecting to state and federal policy makers, and if desired, establishing a dues-paying membership program to enable ongoing work. We’re starting with five and will roll out more SOCs in successive years.

We are seeking an energetic, smart, flexible, and hard-working Digital Campaigns Manager to support this work. The person should be as comfortable knocking on residents’ doors gathering information and stories, as analyzing data in front of a computer. Reporting to the Executive Director and working closely with our expanding field team, the new hire will help ensure that the stories, information and priorities of our members shape decision-making at local, state and federal levels. You will use a range of platforms and software to do this: EveryAction, AirTable, Action Network, Hootsuite, YouTube, BlueSky, Facebook, Google Groups and Workspace, and WordPress

The work will likely involve regular travel to impacted communities.
