Mayor Pete is a different type of politician, and we are a different kind of team. Our goals require collaboration across all departments and our structure facilitates that. A team player with a collaborative spirit and positive attitude will be well suited to our work culture.

The ideal candidate cares deeply about the progress of queer people and people of marginalized genders in every corner of the country, seeks to engage as many people as possible.

• Engage in active listening, even when you’re hearing criticism and critiques you can’t address in one sentence
• Feel joy when you see a well organized spreadsheet.
Know that in order to scale our movement effectively and efficiently, we must use social media and digital tools to organize people and events.
• Obsess over performance and find joy in motivating others
Respect the power of what a person with a clipboard can do, and also what the power of an optimized user-experience online can do.
• Think house parties are the best parties, and loving every bit of the process: from identifying hosts online and offline: training hosts through web-conferences; providing them PDF resource packets; helping them recruit for attendees through our online audiences; and collecting photos, videos, and stories from the events themselves.
• Enjoy thinking about holistic programs and how to keep groups motivated and engaged over long periods of time
• Question how things have been done that exclude queer folks and people of marginalized genders from the civic and political space, while being ready to identify new solutions to those answers
