Executive Assistant - Equality & Culture Project

Posted by: UltraViolet

UltraViolet is an 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 an Executive Assistant to support our Equality & Culture Project in schedule management, presentation preparation, human resources administration, logistics coordination, and other duties as needed.

With over 500,000 members across 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, pushed Reebok to withdraw its sponsorship of rapper Rick Ross due to his sexually violent lyrics, 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.

THE POSITION

The UltraViolet Executive Assistant would work closely with the Campaign Director and staff of UltraViolet's Equality & Culture Project to ensure that the daily operations of the project run smoothly. The person in this position would be charged with ensuring timely and efficient management of the Campaign Director and key staff's schedules, including interactions with donors and foundations, political leaders, and nonprofit allies. The Executive Assistant will manage travel and financial reimbursements, prep background materials for important meetings, assist in logistics arrangements for events, and be a resource to key project staff.

We are a fast-growing, fast-moving organization looking for someone to help keep us on track. If you're comfortable managing up, tracking dozens of minute details simultaneously, and have a passion for women's rights, this is the job for you.

The Executive Assistant will report to the Campaign Director, Equality & Culture Project.

RESPONSIBILITIES

Schedule Management:

• Schedule and arrange meetings and activities for the Campaign Director and key staff
• Prepare background materials on upcoming meetings for the Campaign Director as needed

QUALIFICATIONS

The ideal candidate is detail-oriented, comfortable juggling multiple tasks, excited to work in a fast-paced environment, and able to work both independently and take direction. A professional demeanor and comfort interacting with people in positions of power, including partner organizations and donors, is crucial, as is the ability to manage up. Strong writing skills and experience gathering and synthesizing important background information are a must. A sense of humor and ability to work with our small and growing team is a must. Specific qualifications include:

• At least two years experience in a role providing administrative support
• An extremely detail-oriented nature

Digital Director - Equality & Culture Project

Posted by: UltraViolet

UltraViolet combines innovative, cutting-edge organizing with grassroots, people-powered actions to fight for equality and progress. UltraViolet is building an 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. With over 550,000 members across 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.

THE EQUALITY & CULTURE PROJECT

UltraViolet's Equality and Culture Project is a major new effort tapping into the limitless power of women and men who believe women deserve opportunity, freedom and equality. The project aims to expand the cultural conversation about how women lead their lives. There is an increasingly public dialogue about what a woman should and shouldn't do, how she should or shouldn't be at work, at home, with children, with partners and more. At the same time, our political discourse is often limited to fighting back on limitations to reproductive rights, rather than a proactive discussion of our productive rights, of how women can be productive in any facet of our lives and the reality of the lives we live. Through the Equality and Culture Project, we believe that we can unite and create a new moral standard for the lives women are leading today.

THE POSITION

The Equality & Culture Project Digital Director will create and guide the project's national digital strategy, from conception to implementation. As Digital Director, you will identify engagement opportunities, lead the project's digital strategy, and oversee all tech-based outreach efforts. The Digital Director should be an expert in email outreach, social media management, and the analysis of digital metrics with a strong background in project and staff management, ready to spearhead the digital component of this fast-expanding project.

The Equality and Culture Project Digital Director is a senior project position--we're looking for someone who has a proven ability to run high profile, media-genic outreach efforts that engage hundreds of thousands of people and make a mark culturally and socially. If you have a passion for engaging people, an eye for media-worthiness, and a finger on the pulse of America's diverse and ever-changing culture, you should apply for this position.

The ideal candidate for this position has successfully run a state or national-level digital program, including email outreach and social media platforms, with proven experience in project management, staff management, and digital program strategy. This person should be both detail-oriented and flexible, and able to comfortably juggle multiple tasks. A sense of humor and ability to work with our small (and mighty) team is a must.

The Digital Director will report to the Project's Campaign Director. UltraViolet operates a virtual office and has staff throughout the country.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Create and manage the Equality and Culture Project's overall digital strategy, including email, social media, and website channels.
• Manage the online launch of the Equality & Culture Project as well its integration and coordination with other UltraViolet campaigns.
• Identify, hire, and manage a team of digital staff.
• Monitor cultural and social events for potential collaboration and new campaign approaches.
• Manage the testing and launch of the Equality & Culture Project's online identity and establish systems for open-source curation of content and creative assets.
• Develop detailed campaign plans working with team members and partners.
• Work with the Equality and Culture Project Director, the UltraViolet team, and consultants to develop campaign materials and ensure that digital assets are maximized in key markets.
• Coordinate with on-the-ground organizers to integrate online and offline activities.
• Continually analyze and report out on data and the impact of the campaign's digital program.

QUALIFICATIONS

• 5 years relevant campaigning experience; specifically, experience managing a national or state-level digital program, including email outreach and social media platforms.
• Experience with communications and media strategies; proven track record of generating earned media.
• At least two years staff oversight experience.
• A demonstrated project management background.
• Proven writing ability in relevant setting (a.k.a., action emails, not thesis papers)
• Ability and willingness to turn on a dime when opportunity knocks.
• A team player who also can work and manage projects independently.
• High comfort level with technology.
• Comfortable with a virtual office.
• Knowledge about cultural issues related to women's issues is a plus.

DESCRIPTION

UltraViolet is an 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 over 400,000 members across 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, pushed Reebok to withdraw its sponsorship of rapper Rick Ross due to his sexually violent lyrics, 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.

THE 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, everything from drafting the email, to analyzing metrics, to running an on-the-ground protest or event.

You also have the chance to help build our organization. Just over one year old, UltraViolet members have already had a serious impact — but there is so much more to do. This position is a real chance to help build for the future.

The Campaign Director will report to the President of Campaigns and Communications.

RESPONSIBILITIES

Campaign Identification and Planning

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.
• Coordinate on-the-ground events, such as petition deliveries, house parties, and rallies.
• Manage member inquiries and issues related to the campaign, as needed.

Campaign Analysis

• Continually analyze and report out on data and impact during campaigns.
• Conduct internal campaign evaluations including lessons learned.

QUALIFICATIONS

The ideal candidate is an exceptional writer who is creative, entrepreneurial, detail-oriented, and flexible. They should be comfortable juggling multiple tasks and thrive in a fast-paced environment. Most of all, they should have the knack for campaigning: the ability to spot a moment, the willingness to go after any target, and the determination to keep pushing, even in the face of long odds. We're looking for someone who can spot an opportunity at 9 am, test the campaign by mid-morning, and launch that same day. A sense of humor and ability to work with our small (and mighty) team is a must. Specific qualifications include:

• 3 to 5 years relevant campaigning experience
• Experience with communications and media strategies; proven track record of generating earned media
• Proven writing ability in relevant setting (think action alerts, not thesis papers)
• Familiarity with online campaigning, including HTML
• Ability and willingness to turn on a dime when opportunity knocks
• A team player who also can work and manage projects independently
• High comfort level with technology
• Comfortable with a virtual office.
• Knowledge about political and cultural issues related to women's issues is a plus
