FULL-TIME
The Associate Director of Email will serve as Indivisible’s lead email strategist, working to engage and move 900,000 supporters to action via email. This is a senior role on our communications team. This person will supervise our email team and build and execute our small-dollar fundraising strategy.
The ideal candidate for this role is a digital storyteller with experience working on large email programs and an eagerness to build a successful political movement in response to the Trump Administration. You should have a strong interest in progressive advocacy (especially immigrant rights, health care, and economic justice) and electoral politics.
In 2017, the Indivisible email program delivered the policy resources and organizing toolkits to hundreds of thousands of people who defeated the repeal of the Affordable Care Act. We also raised nearly $3 million in small-dollar donations to fuel our grassroots movement. In 2018, we estimate our small-dollar fundraising program will be one-third of our budget. Our email list will also help build the blue wave by growing a base of virtual volunteers, connecting people to on-the-ground electoral activities, and preparing them to fight for bold, progressive policies in 2019.
We are hiring for this position immediately. This is a full time position with a salary range of $80,000 to $90,000 annually, commensurate with experience, plus benefits. This position reports to the Strategic Communications Director.

About the Indivisible Project
We’re building something new. We’re a progressive grassroots organization that began in the aftermath of Trump’s election and rapidly scaled nationwide, with thousands of volunteer-led local groups covering every state in the country. To support this movement, we’ve built an incredible team at the national level. We dream big, we support each other, and we have fun doing it.
We’re changing what’s politically possible. Indivisible is part of the powerful progressive movement reaction to Trump, fighting the racist, misogynistic, plutocratic, and authoritarian agenda trumpeted by Trump and the GOP congress. Don’t take our word for it; Indivisible has been featured on the Rachel Maddow show multiple times, as well as in the New York Times and in pretty much every other major news outlet in the country.
We’re building together. We’re building a new organization every day - a rare opportunity to model what we want to see in the world. We’re deeply committed to equity and building a diverse and inclusive organization.
We’re looking for you. If you want to fight for the soul of American democracy, there’s no better place to be than Indivisible. We’re looking for more team members who are passionate about resisting the Trump agenda and committed to getting results. It’s an exciting, fulfilling place if you’re someone who wants to fight fiercely for the progressive world we want to have.
Every one of us on the national team is here because we believe this movement is the best way to retake and build progressive power in this country. Does that ring true for you? If so, great - throw your hat in the ring to join our team. Let’s start #winning together.
