Executive Assistant - Equality & Culture Project

Posted on: August 19, 2014
Application deadline: September 1, 2014
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

Meeting & Event Logistics:

• Coordinate schedules, arrange conference lines, and handle all logistics for in-person meetings on behalf of the Campaign Director and key staff

• Manage expense reimbursement requests for the Campaign Director; assist other staff with reimbursement requests as needed

Staff Support

• Develop reports and presentations in Microsoft Excel, PowerPoint, and Word as requested
• Handle office needs such as printing and mailing documents, purchasing office supplies, and more

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

Scheduler to the President & CEO, Center for Reproductive Rights, New York, NY

Scheduler to the President & CEO

Posted on: June 14, 2013
Posted by: Center for Reproductive Rights

DESCRIPTION

The Center for Reproductive Rights (the "Center"), a global human rights organization founded in 1992 with expertise in constitutional and international law, seeks a Scheduler to be based in its New York City headquarters. The Scheduler reports to the Director of the Office of the President and will work closely with the Director to proactively schedule the President & CEO's time to reflect the Center's strategic priorities. The Scheduler will join the team of an innovative and cutting-edge organization committed to promoting the equality, reproductive health, and self-determination of women throughout the world. National-level courts, regional human rights courts, and United Nations bodies have increasingly recognized that a woman's right to reproductive autonomy and reproductive healthcare are basic human rights that must be protected. The Center for Reproductive Rights has played a key role in securing these legal and policy victories and works with attorneys and advocates in the U.S., Latin America, Africa, Asia, and Europe. In addition to its headquarters, the Center has offices in Washington, D.C., Nairobi, Kenya, Bogotá, Colombia, Kathmandu, Nepal, and Geneva, Switzerland. The Center's current annual operating budget is approximately $15 million.

The Scheduler will have the benefit of the Center's many strengths:

• A compelling global human rights mission and cutting-edge legal and policy work that has a reputation for quality and excellence.
• A dynamic organization that has consistently grown in budget size and program impact.
• Dynamic and articulate spokespeople.
• Established relationships with and the respect of opinion leaders, journalists, editors, and legal and NGO partners.
• An organizational philosophy that values and supports strong financial management and a proven track record of strong audits and best practices oversight.
• An impressive and engaged Board, strong leadership team and a solid balance sheet.

The Scheduler will be joining the Center at an exciting time for the institution and at a critical time for the nation. In December 2011, the Center's Board adopted a new strategic plan for 2012-2017. This plan was crafted with the input of both Board and staff during a year-long process of external and internal examination and deliberation. The Center has launched a number of bold new initiatives to go on the offense and change the discourse and policy landscape, while significantly expanding its capacity with new programing and ambitious fundraising goals.

The Center works across the globe on issues including access to life-saving obstetrics care, contraception, abortion services, and comprehensive sexuality information, as well as the prevention of forced sterilization and FGM. It has brought groundbreaking cases before national courts, U.N. committees, and regional human rights bodies, and has built the legal capacity of women's rights advocates in over 50 countries. The Center's groundbreaking litigation and advocacy has transformed how reproductive rights are understood by courts, governments, and human rights bodies, and its undivided focus on reproductive rights has given it unparalleled expertise in the use of constitutional, international and comparative human rights law to hold governments accountable for failing to ensure women's access to critical reproductive healthcare services.
The Center is led by President & CEO Nancy Northup, who brings a rich mix of experience in public interest law, government service, and women's rights advocacy. Under her leadership, the Center has expanded its international work, including the launch of an international litigation campaign that has included the first abortion case decided by the U.N. Human Rights Committee and the first case to frame preventable maternal deaths as a human rights violation. She also led the integration of the human rights framework in the Center's U.S. work and the establishment of the Law School Initiative. Before joining the Center in 2003, Ms. Northup served as the founding director of the Democracy Program at the Brennan Center for Justice at NYU Law School; as a prosecutor and Deputy Chief of Appeals in the U.S. Attorney's office for the Southern District of New York; and as a law clerk to the Honorable Alvin B. Rubin of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. Ms. Northup has taught constitutional law and human rights as an adjunct professor at NYU and Columbia law schools.

The Center is a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization governed by a 23-person board of directors. The Center has a diverse staff of over 100 professionals from Chile, Colombia, Croatia, Kenya, Korea, Nepal, Nigeria, the Philippines, Sweden, Slovakia, the U.K., and the U.S.
