Key Responsibilities

Partnership Building & Community Engagement

• Craft and share your personal story and organizing journey to galvanize volunteers, partners, and prospective volunteers.

• Host listening sessions, house parties, and culturally-relevant events (in both English & Spanish) to surface community needs and co-create action plans.

Relational Organizing & Volunteer Management

• Values-Driven: Unwavering commitment to winning Democratic majorities at all levels in Washington state, and a demonstrated commitment to working inclusively and collaboratively with a diverse staff, activists, allies, and stakeholders.

• Bilingual Preferred: Fluency in Spanish and English; strong cultural understanding of diverse communities.

• Excellent Communicator: Exceptional written and verbal skills; skilled at using personal narrative to inspire action.
