About the Position

Accelerate Change is seeking a strategic and highly organized Impact Campaigns Manager to support our active issue campaigns across our network of mission-driven media partners. As an Impact Campaigns Manager, you would be the expert on content strategy, messaging, performance on your campaign issue areas, providing strategic guidance and resources to our network partners for developing and tracking engaging social media content for social impact.

Here's what you could expect to do as an Impact Campaigns Manager (key responsibilities):

• Assist the Vice President of Impact in strategic development and execution of campaigns in the following core issue areas: economic opportunity, reproductive freedom, immigration, criminal justice reform, public health and healthcare, threats to democracy, climate change.

• Multitask across a wide range of content and values-driven messaging topics, sometimes with competing timelines and content demands, with a high degree of organization and attention to detail.

• Maintain and refine issue-area guidance on an ongoing basis to provide network partners with up-to-date tactics for reaching audiences effectively and maximizing impact.

• Stay proactively informed about news and trends, related to issue areas and beyond, to identify and share opportunities for partners to capitalize on them with impactful campaign content.

• Assist with social content data analysis, monitoring partner content and performance to understand what works and what doesn’t.

• Partner with the VP of Impact to define what stories and strategies will effectively reach our audiences in our different areas of focus (reproductive freedom, immigration, threats to democracy, etc.).

• Conduct in-depth analysis of content to identify and report on campaign performance, including successes and challenges (what stories have stuck and why, what formats and approaches have overperformed and what has failed), drawing on analysis to give actionable insights.

• Identify opportunities to share partner campaign content among other partners for network-wide cross-promotion and amplification.

• Act as a coach and cheerleader for network partners, lifting up their successes and proposing adjustments, with sensitivity to partner capacity, limitations and audiences.

• Monitor network-wide Slack channels, providing expert responses to and directing partner queries, and posting timely and strategic campaign information.

• Attend weekly team and 1:1 meetings with colleagues across your department, in other departments in the organization, and with partners in our network.

We’ll also look for our Impact Campaign Manager to:

• TBD. As part of a rapidly growing organization, you’ll need to embrace change and that your responsibilities will shift over time. Pitching in to help with the needs of your department and the overall Central Team is an important part of your role.

• Help advance our goal of becoming an anti-racist organization. Within your role, apply equitable work practices, challenge white supremacy, and help make our programs more inclusive. Center our understanding that multiple systems of oppression intersect with racism and be an active part of our values work.

• Serve as a resource to our networks of partners. Help amplify partner successes, make connections between partners and facilitate learning sharing, and offer your expertise to partners in our networks wherever it makes sense.

• Take an entrepreneurial approach to their work and learning new skills. In our fast-paced, unstructured environment, we love it when staff first try to figure things out on their own and then ask for help if they’re stuck.

• Seek out opportunities to deepen their skills on current/emerging platforms and with lean startup methodology. We take an individualized approach to growth where staff have the chance to explore and propose development opportunities that align with their interests and the team’s priorities.

What We’re Looking For

• Commitment to social change. Accelerate Change is a mission-driven workplace focused on civic engagement with BIPOC and low-income communities. You have a demonstrated commitment to this work and you’d like to be part of a team of people who do, too.

• 4+ years experience with key responsibilities: We're looking for someone who has at least 4 years of experience: 

  • Strategically developing and leading social media campaigns; experience building and growing a significant social media following for a brand or organization is a strong bonus

  • Expertly using social media analytics tools (either platform native or external) to track, analyze, and report on social content performance, providing actionable insights

  • Consistently identifying and leveraging social media trends for strategic campaign impact

• Very online. You have extensive experience using digital platforms to drive engagement on content, and you possess a deep, nuanced understanding of digital and social media more broadly, because you are always scrolling and analyzing. You know exactly why #GRWM content engages audiences, you understand the strategic value of developing relationships with online communities, and you can spot a viral trend before it hits the FYP.

Benefits

• $69,000 - $79,000 salary range, with exact salary depending on experience and new staff rarely starting at the top of the range.

• Flexibility for work and life: Unlike a lot of places, we actually believe that people should only work 40 hours each week, except for occasional sprints that require more time in a week. We also trust everyone to make a schedule that works for them, as long as you're able to join all necessary meetings. Want to work more one day and less the next? Fine by us. Work better in the middle of the night than during the afternoon? Go for it. Need to shift your hours to be able to pick up your kid from school? All good.

• Health care at the beginning of your employment with individual premiums fully covered and cost-share for dependents. Vision and dental plans are available at-cost to the individual.

• 15 paid vacation days, 6 paid holidays, 3 paid floating holidays each year and 7.5 paid sick days each year

• Professional development funds, with renewal of funds each fiscal year

• Cell phone and internet reimbursement (or co-working reimbursement): We acknowledge that working from home requires using your own internet and phone for work purposes so we offer a set reimbursement amount for cell phone and internet usage. If working from home isn't for you, we also have the option for folks to rent a co-working space and get reimbursed for their monthly costs.

• Need-based educational loan assistance after 3 months

• 401K contributions and matching program available at the beginning of your employment

• Annual office closure during the last week in December
