This position will develop trainings and processes for staff to build a shared understanding of the organization’s mission, vision, and core values and support staff in their efforts to build an anti-racist organization; this work includes efforts to serve an increasingly racially diverse farmer base, as well as advance conversations around racial justice with our white and Black Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC) members.

In 2020, after an extensive discussion and reflection process, CAFF affirmed justice and equity as a core value, and a commitment to better serve the needs of BIPOC farmers. In 2021, we developed and adopted a Racial Equity Action Plan, with a particular focus on growing our capacity to serve Spanish-speaking Latino/a/x/é (Latinx) farmers. Since that intensive process, many new staff have joined the organization, and CAFF needs to collectively hold a clear and shared plan moving forward. The position will facilitate CAFF’s internal staff-led Justice & Equity Committee as an organizational accountability structure and learning space, and support any other affinity or aligned internal spaces. The position will supervise the Bilingual Communications & Farmer Engagement Co-Director whom we are also currently hiring for — please see the listing for that position at caff.org/jobs-at-caff .
The position is preferred in Northern California, given frequent trips to Davis and proximity to staff. Additional travel will be required throughout California to support staff and attend two annual in-person retreats.

America Votes' work has brought together a wide range of causes and built a unified coalition that has transformed how the progressive community works. Together, they have engaged communities across the country to take action on critical issues - from fighting for working families, defending reproductive rights, protecting the environment, and more - and mobilized millions of voters.
America Votes works year-round nationally and in more than 20 states, acting as a permanent campaign to continually advance progressive causes, modernize elections, and win elections. America Votes provides a range of services to partners, including strategic planning, advocacy and electoral campaign coordination, data tools and targeting services, and on-the-ground leadership in key states.
America Votes also works to improve election systems and fight back against efforts to suppress voters, taking the lead throughout their state network to coordinate and execute advocacy campaigns with allies to reform elections and modernize the voting process.
Racial Equity Statement
As a leader of collaborative efforts to mobilize voters, protect voting rights, and win elections, America Votes is committed to advancing racial equity within our organization and across our coalition. We acknowledge the systematic racism that permeates all facets of our society, beginning with the foundational right to vote. America Votes is also engaging with an understanding of the ways gender, sexuality and other forms of oppression intersect with race and how those relationships impact inequities faced by our staff, our partners, and the communities that we engage in our work. America Votes strives to model our commitment to racial equity through our internal and external operations, programs, and partnerships. We acknowledge the inequitable structures that continue to exist and are moving forward with a sustained commitment in time, resources and people to challenge structural racism and work towards creating a reflective organization and democracy.
Position Description
America Votes is looking for a Senior Data Analyst to join our Analytics team for the 2024 cycle. The ideal candidate has prior experience as a data analyst in an electoral context, a strong foundation in analytics methods, and a vision for how we can use data to answer key questions around targeting and resource allocation such as:
How can we leverage our field data and other resources to improve candidate models?
What's the best way for partners to use race and ethnicity models for voter targeting?
How should we prioritize field operations across our competitive Congressional races?
Our analytics team already includes a Data Analyst, who focuses on data visualization and voter contact reporting, and an Analytics Engineer, who transforms our voter contact and voter file data into base tables using dbt. For the Senior Data Analyst role, we're looking for a teammate who can level up our methods, work with other staff to understand the big strategic questions AV has, and bring data to bear on answering those questions in a way that can guide our program choices.
This is a cycle position that reports to the Analytics Director and lasts through December 31, 2024.

Organization Overview
America Votes works with over 400 state and national partner organizations to advance progressive policies, win elections, and protect every American's right to vote.
Since 2003, America Votes has been the common link between many of the largest and most influential issue and membership organizations in the country, serving as the coordination hub of the progressive community. America Votes' work has brought together a wide range of causes and built a unified coalition that has transformed how the progressive community works.

America Votes provides a range of services to partners, including strategic planning, advocacy and electoral campaign coordination, data tools and targeting services, and on-the-ground leadership in key states.

Racial Equity Statement
As a leader of collaborative efforts to mobilize voters, protect voting rights, and win elections, America Votes is committed to advancing racial equity within our organization and across our coalition. We acknowledge the systematic racism that permeates all facets of our society, beginning with the foundational right to vote. America Votes is also engaging with an understanding of the ways gender, sexuality and other forms of oppression intersect with race and how those relationships impact inequities faced by our staff, our partners, and the communities that we engage in our work. America Votes strives to model our commitment to racial equity through our internal and external operations, programs, and partnerships. We acknowledge the inequitable structures that continue to exist and are moving forward with a sustained commitment in time, resources and people to challenge structural racism and work towards creating a reflective organization and democracy.
Position Description
America Votes is looking for a Senior Data Analyst to join our Analytics team for the 2024 cycle. The ideal candidate has prior experience as a data analyst in an electoral context, a strong foundation in analytics methods, and a vision for how we can use data to answer key questions around targeting and resource allocation such as:
How can we leverage our field data and other resources to improve candidate models?
What's the best way for partners to use race and ethnicity models for voter targeting?
How should we prioritize field operations across our competitive Congressional races?
Our analytics team already includes a Data Analyst, who focuses on data visualization and voter contact reporting, and an Analytics Engineer, who transforms our voter contact and voter file data into base tables using dbt. For the Senior Data Analyst role, we're looking for a teammate who can level up our methods, work with other staff to understand the big strategic questions AV has, and bring data to bear on answering those questions in a way that can guide our program choices.
This is a cycle position that reports to the Analytics Director and lasts through December 31, 2024.

The take-away Ready to take on some of the most powerful forces in our society? We’re looking for an executive director or two co-directors who apply together to lead a fierce, passionate, and global team that's holding transnational corporations accountable and helping create a world where all people and the planet can thrive.
Why you’ll love coming to work every day You’ll help change the world by bringing your vision and strategies to our winning campaigns. You’ll be joining an organization that’s not satisfied with the world as it is—and has a vision for how it should be. When your quest is ending corporate abuse, you can’t be afraid to name names and demand what the world needs. For more than 45 years, we’ve been exposing and challenging the abuses of the likes of Nestlé, Chevron, Philip Morris International, Coca Cola, and more. We don’t back down, and we run campaigns until we win. You’ll work with awesome people. Join a team of creative, kind, determined, optimistic, and solutions-oriented folks. We work hard, celebrate victories large and small, and center collaboration. You will keep advancing on your leadership journey. We are all learning and evolving. You’ll thrive here as you develop new skills, tackle new challenges, learn, and grow. And you will also develop leadership opportunities for your Corporate Accountability colleagues. We pay lots of attention to building staff leadership, and we provide support and training to help you grow in your role. You’ll be part of an organization committed to advancing racial equity and transforming systems of oppression. We are deeply committed to prioritizing the leadership of people from communities who are actively targeted by corporate abuse: Black and Indigenous people and other people of color, women, low-income people, people in the Global South, and LGBTQ+ folks around the world. By “Global South,” we mean the state of people and communities around the world, including in the U.S., who are experiencing multiple and intersecting global systems of oppression. Our unique culture has been fostered by a long history of women and queer leadership at the helm. We are actively focusing on the leadership of our staff of color, knowing we are stronger when the organization reflects the vision of the world we’re building together.
What you'll do
For more than four decades, Corporate Accountability has moved millions of people to challenge corporate power through hard-hitting and fearless campaigns that achieve victories for health, human rights, democracy, and the planet. We do this by, among other strategies, exposing corporate abuse, shifting the public climate, and mobilizing people to take action, with a focus on the Global South. Our campaigns are based on research and proven practices. That’s where you come in. We’re looking for an executive director or co-director team to lead a dynamic and fierce organization with an almost 50-year track record of success in curbing corporate power. We've got 50 staff and contractors located around the world, an operating budget of over $8.5 million in 2024, and a healthy reserve fund. The executive leadership will steer and steward Corporate Accountability in a manner that is consistent with our mission and values. The executive director(s) will manage a team of 5-7 senior directors with responsibility for research, policy, racial equity, communications, membership, fundraising, campaigns, and operations. Our executive director(s) will direct strategy, improve organizational performance, and shape culture while overseeing day-to-day activities. Reporting to an engaged 10-person Board of Directors, the executive leader(s) will ensure Corporate Accountability’s finances are healthy, and our performance and results are mission-driven and effective.
Who you are Corporate Accountability seeks a strategic, experienced, innovative, and values-aligned leader or pair of co-leaders to guide us through the next chapter of the organization as we strive to counter the power of corporate abuse. While no one person is likely to tick every box on our wish list, the successful candidate will demonstrate most of the following qualifications. If you are applying as a co-director pair, you will collectively possess most of these skills and qualifications.
You may notice that our list of qualifications does not call for specific educational degrees or years of work experience. We are looking for a visionary, strategic, confident, and practical leader or co-leaders. We seek someone who can work effectively alongside our dedicated staff, high-level donors and members, grassroots partners, and other allies. Our next leader(s) will be able to hold their own against CEOs and other representatives of transnational corporate power.
We value leadership whether it is forged in formal education or practical experience; in one’s personal life or on the job. We welcome qualified candidates from a wide range of backgrounds. If you don’t exactly fit preconceived ideas of executive leadership or our stated qualifications, but you know you have skills and experiences that are transferable to this position, please apply! Tell us about yourself and why you should be Corporate Accountability’s next executive director or co-director team.

You may notice that our list of qualifications does not call for specific educational degrees or years of work experience. We are looking for a visionary, strategic, confident, and practical leader or co-leaders. We seek someone who can work effectively alongside our dedicated staff, high-level donors and members, grassroots partners, and other allies. Our next leader(s) will be able to hold their own against CEOs and other representatives of transnational corporate power.
We value leadership whether it is forged in formal education or practical experience; in one’s personal life or on the job. We welcome qualified candidates from a wide range of backgrounds. If you don’t exactly fit preconceived ideas of executive leadership or our stated qualifications, but you know you have skills and experiences that are transferable to this position, please apply! Tell us about yourself and why you should be Corporate Accountability’s next executive director or co-director team.
Experienced Social Justice Campaigner
● You’re mad as hell about the rampant abuses of corporations and the outrageous amount of power they have—and you want to do something about it. ● You hold an informed analysis of corporate and state power, and you have an understanding of human rights and geopolitical issues in a variety of global contexts. ● You know how to wage collective campaigns for change. You have direct experience with grassroots organizing, corporate campaigning, or waging other campaigns for justice in the Global South. You understand how social justice movements work in Global South communities. Experience with corporate-focused campaigns is a strong plus. Skilled Manager ● You most likely hold at least 10 years of experience as a manager with a bulk of those years in an organizational leadership role. We recognize that leadership opportunities are not always offered equitably, and so we are open to applications from otherwise qualified candidates with fewer years of experience. ● You are effective at hiring and leading teams, and you are a compassionate, coaching-focused supervisor who brings out the best in those you work with. You have the skills to manage a remote, global organization operating in multiple time zones. ● You are adept at managing through change and conflict. You are an active listener who values building trust as the foundation of good relationships.
Knowledgeable of Non-profit Operations ● You have the practical experience to oversee nonprofit operations alongside a staff team that bring expertise in their areas, including financial management, human resources, and legal compliance and risk management. You also have experience working with a board of directors that is responsible for the governance of the organization. Talented Communicator & Fundraiser ● You are a proven fundraiser with expertise in building relationships with individual major donors. At Corporate Accountability, $5k-plus is considered a major gift and our executive leader(s) manage a portfolio of 6-figure donors. Experience fundraising from foundations or membership programs is a plus. ● You are an effective communicator. You are a persuasive storyteller who can forge partnerships with both internal colleagues and external stakeholders. Collaborative Leader ● You are committed to distributed leadership practices. You want to build a leaderful and liberatory organization that values and honors people of all identities and backgrounds, including but not limited to race, gender, and class. ● Your commitment to shared leadership also means you are open to feedback and being held accountable with love and rigor. Equally important, you know when to make the hard decisions, and when and how to hold people accountable to our shared work. ● Your leadership style is human-centered, joyful, and collaborative. You approach your leadership role with humility and resiliency, and you are comfortable leading from behind, from the front, and from alongside a bold and talented team. Rooted in Global South Perspective ● You demonstrate a commitment in your daily work to advancing equity and ending systems of oppression based on colonialism, race, gender, sexual orientation, language, class/income, or disability. ● You (or at least one co-director) can point to a significant history of living, working or campaigning in the Global South. By “Global South,” we mean the state of people and communities around the world, including in the U.S., who are experiencing multiple and intersecting global systems of oppression. ● You are most likely, but not necessarily, bilingual with English as one of your languages, and even better, you are comfortable in a language spoken in the Global South.
What you’ll be responsible for in the day-to-day ● Provide vision and leadership to expand and strengthen Corporate Accountability's capacity to wage and win multiple campaigns. ● Build relationships with community members, including campaign partners, donors, allies, researchers, reporters, and policy analysts. ● Ensure effective management of Corporate Accountability staff in a manner that is collaborative and liberatory. ● Manage the organization in a manner that emphasizes equity and inclusion and centers the voices and experiences of Black, Brown, and Indigenous communities, and people of the Global South. ● Maintain and grow the financial strength of the organization, by both ensuring effective and strategic financial management and taking on a leadership role on the fundraising team. ● Facilitate organizational direction, ensure effective planning, and provide operational leadership toward the achievement of Corporate Accountability’s mission and goals. ● Increase visibility of the organization and its work to members, potential members, and allies. ● Position the board of directors to serve the organization toward maximum campaign impact. ● Guide Corporate Accountability’s overall strategy relative to transnational corporations, government officials, and international agencies. ● Make hiring decisions and establish rules, procedures, and standards across the organization.
Practical details Salary: $160,000-$180,000 at 100% FTE. Our leader(s) will work full-time schedules (32 hours weekly) and so whether a pair of co-directors or solo directors, each person will be compensated at the same amount.
