Primary responsibilities will include:

• Strategic planning and execution: You will develop a strategic vision for Color Of Change’s membership that aligns with our impact strategy and theory of change. You will work to bridge our online and offline organizing strategies and mobilize a diverse group of internal stakeholders toward a shared vision and implementation of this vision.
• Member lifecycle research and experience design. You will own the lifecycle of a Color Of Change member, from acquisition to activation to attrition. You will lead a discovery process that helps define our theory on how to acquire members, activate members, and create deep member connections. You will design studies and input/analysis mechanisms for supporting greater member activation and deep connection in ways that support Black power-building, and design the means of making sure leaders across the organization can understand and integrate these insights. You will keep a consistent pulse on membership data and various feedback loops of member activity, including what drives people to affiliate and unaffiliate.
• Member development: You will promote and build internal and external support for our local squad initiatives, member events, people-powered programs and electoral activities.
• Leadership: You will be responsible for the performance of your direct reports. You will ensure cohesion and effective communication amongst senior leaders within the organization, and facilitate small and large group meetings internally and externally.
• Public speaking: You will act as a thought leader and spokesperson to the media and large audiences on behalf of Color Of Change as needed.
• Campaigns Department: You will lead the Campaigns Department alongside the two other Vice Presidents. This will include developing and implementing a vision related to departmental goals, culture, and infrastructure. In addition you will represent the Campaigns Department on the President’s Leadership Team.
