• Experience growing membership in email, SMS, and/or social media channels
• Clear and concise writing, with appropriate tone and ability to articulate a strategic theory of change across digital platforms
• You do not need to be a parent, but must be comfortable talking with families; and have a passion for a range of issues impacting parents, caregivers, and families including the Child Tax Credit, climate, healthcare, racial justice, education, and accountability for Big Tech companies
• Track record of applying an equity lens to campaigning
• Ability to thrive independently and in a remote work environment
• Availability and flexibility to work full time to accommodate the needs of rapid response organizing. There may be some days where your hours may be longer than others, but we’re committed to balancing out your time overall.

Who We Are: 

ParentsTogether is a community of over 3 million parents, caregivers, and advocates working together to make the world a better place for children and families. We are a small-but-growing, nimble team innovating across channels–from Messenger to SMS to email–to provide timely, relevant advocacy opportunities and compelling content that matters to families.

We organize parents and advocates to speak out in favor of economic justice, pandemic relief, public education, affordable childcare, kids’ health, racial justice, protection for immigrant families, and other important priorities where parent voices are central to the success of campaigns.

The ParentsTogether Foundation (c3) and ParentsTogether Action (c4) are collaborative and work to solve challenges together. We have a positive, low-ego, low-drama work culture. All of us love our work and are driven to help ParentsTogether succeed. Our strategy framework is based on lean startup principles. We try out ideas quickly, see what works, and iterate. 

At ParentsTogether, we have an intersectional analysis and believe that building a multiracial, cross-class parent movement is non-negotiable. We are actively working to build a diverse team; people of color, people from poor and working class backgrounds, LGBTQ folks, and people with disabilities are strongly encouraged to apply. We are an equal opportunity employer and do not discriminate based upon gender, race, national origin, disability, age, religion, sexual orientation, or gender expression.

Geography is flexible within the United States. Optimal candidates will be available for the majority of the 12-5 PM ET window on most weekdays. The position will be open until filled.
