You can find out more about WorkMoney at workmoney.org and Facebook.
What are we looking for?
We are looking for organizers to work in the field (primarily remotely) as part of our national field team. Organizers build relationships with our members -- everyday people across the political spectrum -- and help them take action to improve their economic lives. That means meeting people wherever they’re at, organizing with people who have never organized, and talking with a lot of people who might disagree with you on a lot of things.
WorkMoney seeks an energetic individual who enjoys connecting virtually with new people from different walks of life. The organizer will work closely with the Deputy Field Director, along with team members across the organization – Advocacy, Digital Engagement, Data Analytics, and the WorkMoney Resource Center teams – to share insights from the field. Organizers are instrumental in developing and supporting members to share their stories and be a leader for the causes they care about. Organizers connect with members on daily calls and are responsible for executing on campaign goals. Specific duties include, but are not limited to:
Responsibilities
- Daily remote organizing calls and some on-the-ground field work
- Member mobilization for events, meetings, and training
- Build new and deep relationships with other everyday working Americans
- Work with communications team to identify and prepare working people to tell their stories to media, social platforms, and other press outlets
- Work with policy and advocacy team to identify and prepare working people to share their stories with elected officials and staff
- Work collaboratively across the organization and with other teams to execute organizational goals
RequirementsYou don't need to be an organizer or have years of organizing experience to succeed in this role. Maybe it’s an election, or the pandemic, or your lived experience that stirs you to act. If you have no previous organizing experience, we can train you up.
Requirements & Skills
- Clear, concrete, and concise verbal and written skills
- High level of comfort with Google Suite and a willingness to learn digital organizing tools (P2P SMS like ThruText, ThruTalk, Strive, and others)
- Demonstrated commitment to economic security for individuals, working families, and communities
- Demonstrated commitment to the elevation of directly impacted people to share their stories and voices on issues affecting their families and communities
- Interest in virtual and digital relationship building and organizing; must be comfortable connecting with individuals over telephone, SMS, and video chat
- Ability to take initiative and to effectively manage multiple projects in a fast-paced environment at a growing organization
- All levels of educational attainment are welcome
- Ability to work well under pressure and meet tight deadlines
BenefitsThis is a union position subject to a Collective Bargaining Agreement with IBEW Local 89. The annual salary for this role is $72,809.67 and as part of our commitment to pay transparency and equity in our organization, the starting salary for this position is not negotiable.
We’re proud to offer generous benefits like competitive pay, expansive paid time off options, and employer contributions to retirement and student loan repayment. WorkMoney covers the premiums for healthcare, dental, and vision plans so you don’t have to, offers a 6% 401K employer match, four weeks paid vacation, generous paid family and medical leave, and annual allowances for remote work and professional development.
Why Join Our Team?
Our workplace is dynamic and we aren’t afraid to pivot when things don’t work. We’re mission driven, hard working, and scrappy AF.

The truth of the matter is: we’re doing cool stuff with really cool people and having a great time doing it.
While this is a fully remote workplace, domestic travel is required for full team annual retreats and intermittent team working sessions and retreats.
