Unite America seeks a full-time Partnerships Director. This team member will be responsible for overseeing a significant share of the Unite America investment portfolio; this will include liaising closely with local, state, and national grantees to identify and vet grantmaking opportunities, provide strategic support and accountability, and develop programming and resources to serve our partners’ needs. This position offers the chance to engage in a diversified strategy to win reforms at all levels of government with legislation, ballot measures, litigation, and partners who believe in putting voters first.
OUR ORGANIZATION
Unite America is a coalition of Democrats, Republicans, and independents that aims to foster a representative and functional government committed to solving the nation’s major challenges. We invest in candidates, campaigns, and organizations to advance nonpartisan electoral reforms that improve governing incentives and put voters first.
Founded in 2014, Unite America and its 25-person team has grown to be a leader in the democracy reform movement — supporting, coordinating and executing to advance policy and elect pro-reform candidates. The Unite America Fund launched in 2019 and has since mobilized tens of millions of dollars from dozens of philanthropists to reform campaigns and candidates across the country.
Over the last three years, the Unite America Fund has been the driving force behind passing and implementing Ranked Choice Voting (RCV) in New York City, the largest expansion of RCV in history; defeating the most extremist member of Congress in their primary election in 2020; adopting a first of it's kind final-four voting system in Alaska to address the “primary problem;” winning an anti-gerrymandering campaign in Virginia; and electing state lawmakers across the country who have formed cross-partisan legislative caucuses already advancing groundbreaking electoral reforms. We are focused on dramatically scaling our impact in the years to come.
At Unite America, we are working to build a more representative and functional government that puts voters first and reflects the diversity of our country. We believe in an inclusive democracy where leaders embrace problem solving over fueling divisiveness. Likewise, organizationally, we have a vision of building a team that reflects diverse identities, experiences and perspectives; a culture of working across differences toward common goals; and a workplace where everyone feels included, respected and heard. To that end, Unite America is proud to have made diversifying our team, ensuring more equitable opportunity, and fostering a culture of belonging a priority. Our organizational values reinforce this commitment as we work to model the leadership we seek, solve problems together, and take care of one another, to name a few.
THE ROLE
The Partnerships Director will primarily be accountable for working with Unite America Fund grantees. The Unite America Fund is actively invested in more than 85 organizations working to reform and protect democracy at all levels of government. Our investments include seed grants to start new initiatives, growth grants to win reforms, implementation grants to defend reforms from tampering, and research grants to evaluate impact. We invest in legislative advocacy campaigns, litigation strategies, ballot initiative campaigns, shared infrastructure projects, and national partner organizations. In addition to providing support to our grantees, the role will include building strategic partnerships across our field, stakeholder engagement, and liaising with other Unite America departments to share information and solicit input, including our Advocacy and Movement, Marketing and Communications, Development, and Operations teams.
The Partnerships Director will report to the Sr. Director of Policy and Partnerships. Ideally, the team-member would be based in the Denver, Colorado metropolitan area, but candidates from other geographies will be considered and remote work is a possibility. This is a full-time role with benefits.
The application deadline for this position is December 12th. Applications will not be reviewed until this date. Please contact gillian@uniteamerica.org with any questions.
RESPONSIBILITIES
Direct a subset of the Unite America Fund investment portfolio, including to:

Full time
Unite America seeks a full-time Partnerships Director. This team member will be responsible for overseeing a significant share of the Unite America investment portfolio; this will include liaising closely with local, state, and national grantees to identify and vet grantmaking opportunities, provide strategic support and accountability, and develop programming and resources to serve our partners’ needs. This position offers the chance to engage in a diversified strategy to win reforms at all levels of government with legislation, ballot measures, litigation, and partners who believe in putting voters first.
OUR ORGANIZATION
Unite America is a coalition of Democrats, Republicans, and independents that aims to foster a representative and functional government committed to solving the nation’s major challenges. We invest in candidates, campaigns, and organizations to advance nonpartisan electoral reforms that improve governing incentives and put voters first.
Founded in 2014, Unite America and its 25-person team has grown to be a leader in the democracy reform movement — supporting, coordinating and executing to advance policy and elect pro-reform candidates. The Unite America Fund launched in 2019 and has since mobilized tens of millions of dollars from dozens of philanthropists to reform campaigns and candidates across the country.
Over the last three years, the Unite America Fund has been the driving force behind passing and implementing Ranked Choice Voting (RCV) in New York City, the largest expansion of RCV in history; defeating the most extremist member of Congress in their primary election in 2020; adopting a first of it's kind final-four voting system in Alaska to address the “primary problem;” winning an anti-gerrymandering campaign in Virginia; and electing state lawmakers across the country who have formed cross-partisan legislative caucuses already advancing groundbreaking electoral reforms. We are focused on dramatically scaling our impact in the years to come.
At Unite America, we are working to build a more representative and functional government that puts voters first and reflects the diversity of our country. We believe in an inclusive democracy where leaders embrace problem solving over fueling divisiveness. Likewise, organizationally, we have a vision of building a team that reflects diverse identities, experiences and perspectives; a culture of working across differences toward common goals; and a workplace where everyone feels included, respected and heard. To that end, Unite America is proud to have made diversifying our team, ensuring more equitable opportunity, and fostering a culture of belonging a priority. Our organizational values reinforce this commitment as we work to model the leadership we seek, solve problems together, and take care of one another, to name a few.
THE ROLE
The Partnerships Director will primarily be accountable for working with Unite America Fund grantees. The Unite America Fund is actively invested in more than 85 organizations working to reform and protect democracy at all levels of government. Our investments include seed grants to start new initiatives, growth grants to win reforms, implementation grants to defend reforms from tampering, and research grants to evaluate impact. We invest in legislative advocacy campaigns, litigation strategies, ballot initiative campaigns, shared infrastructure projects, and national partner organizations. In addition to providing support to our grantees, the role will include building strategic partnerships across our field, stakeholder engagement, and liaising with other Unite America departments to share information and solicit input, including our Advocacy and Movement, Marketing and Communications, Development, and Operations teams.
The Partnerships Director will report to the Sr. Director of Policy and Partnerships. Ideally, the team-member would be based in the Denver, Colorado metropolitan area, but candidates from other geographies will be considered and remote work is a possibility. This is a full-time role with benefits.
The application deadline for this position is December 12th. Applications will not be reviewed until this date. Please contact gillian@uniteamerica.org with any questions.
