Required
Commitment to social change. Accelerate Change is a progressive workplace focused on civic engagement with BIPOC and low-income communities. You have a demonstrated commitment to this work and you’d like to be part of a team of people who do, too.
Very online. You can explain why #GRWM content engages audiences, you understand the value of authentic relationships with followers, you can spot a viral trend two days before it hits the FYP, and you have 101 ideas for creative content we haven’t seen yet.
Player/coach. You’re willing to roll up your sleeves and pitch in to deliver on area outcomes—whether it’s because someone is out or because a pressing deadline requires all hands on deck—and you have a deep enough understanding of your team’s work to do it.
Expert communicator. You have a gift for translating complicated strategies and processes into easily digestible, executable pieces, to whomever needs to understand it. You’re clear in your delivery of goals, expectations, critical feedback, and praise, and you provide ample opportunity for reiteration, to ensure everyone is on the same page.
Stakeholder management skills. You know the importance of prioritizing clear communication and doing everything you can to ensure that stakeholders have all the information they need. You’re a savvy relationship manager and can see situations from each vantage point to gracefully navigate complex situations.
Adaptability. You are someone who prefers (not just tolerates) working in a fast-paced environment. In this role, that means you’re invigorated and motivated by new opportunities and challenges that result from a shifting progressive landscape, and you can support your team when unexpected pivots affect your work.
Remote first. You have experience managing geographically distributed teams and know how to keep a team connected and engaged through screens. You recognize the importance of prioritizing your team’s humanity and always make space for ‘real talk’ connections alongside getting to work.
Benefits
Flexibility for work and life: Unlike a lot of places, we actually believe that people should only work 40 hours each week, except for occasional sprints that require more time in a week. We also trust everyone to make a schedule that works for them, as long as you’re able to join all necessary meetings. Want to work more one day and less the next? Fine by us. Work better in the middle of the night than during the afternoon? Go for it. Need to shift your hours to be able to pick up your kid from school? All good.
Health care at the beginning of your employment with individual premiums fully covered and cost-share for dependents. Vision and dental plans are available at-cost to the individual.
15 paid vacation days, 6 paid holidays, 3 paid floating holidays each year and 7.5 paid sick days each year
Professional development funds, with renewal of funds each fiscal year
Cell phone and internet reimbursement (or co-working reimbursement): We acknowledge that working from home requires using your own internet and phone for work purposes so we offer a set reimbursement amount for cell phone and internet usage. If working from home isn’t for you, we also have the option for folks to rent a co-working space and get reimbursed for their monthly costs.
Need-based educational loan assistance after 3 months
401K contributions and matching program available at the beginning of your employment
