About UltraViolet
UltraViolet is a new online community of women and men fighting to expand women's rights and combat sexism everywhere—from politics and government to media and pop culture. We’re looking for a Campaign Director to help lead our work, grow our community, and take UltraViolet to the next level.
With hundreds of thousands of members in every state and congressional district, we make our voices heard to further the cause of full equality, empower women, and fight attacks on women's rights. Since our launch in early 2012, millions have spoken out in favor of fair pay, equal representation, and health care, and protested against far-right attempts to control women's health and lives. We’ve successfully campaigned to have Facebook add the first woman to its corporate board, got over a hundred advertisers to drop the Rush Limbaugh show, and forced the architect of the Komen Foundation’s decision to defund Planned Parenthood to resign.
Equality at a higher frequency is what we're all about.
About the Campaign Director position
The UltraViolet Campaign Director is at the center of our fights for equality and against sexism. As Campaign Director, you would identify and run campaigns from start to finish, whether it's drafting emails, organizing grassroots support through petitions, phone calls, and rallies for fair pay for women, or fighting back attempts to curb women's health care with an online campaign showcasing women's personal stories. You’ll have an incredible opportunity to build this movement and beat back very real attempts to hurt women.
You also have the chance to help build a brand-new organization. Less than one year old, UltraViolet members have already had a serious impact — but they're so much more to do. We've had an incredible first year, and this position is a real chance to help build for the future.
The Campaign Director will report to the President of Campaigns and Communications.

- Monitor political and social events for their potential to become campaigns and propose ideas for new campaigns.
- Develop detailed campaign plans; solicit input from team members and partners.
- Monitor and drive our social media: Twitter and Facebook accounts.

Campaign Production and Management
- Create campaign materials: emails, blog posts, op-eds, campaign pages, etc.
- Interface with partners and consultants (e.g., designers, technology providers, etc.).
- Stage email outreaches, landing pages, and other necessary technology set up. Work with our technology and design team to develop new projects and technology.
