Managing the overall campaign budget including vendors, marketing, paid media, and operations
Creating and developing systems for regular tracking of success against goals
Providing regular updates to RepresentUs Executive Team, coalition partners, and supporters

Ability to understand and manage multiple tactical campaign areas such as digital, polling and research, organizing, and legislative strategy
Experience managing over $1M budget preferred
Experience with bold accountability campaigns preferred
Experience working in nonpartisan and cross-partisan environments preferred
A great attitude and a respect for people and their capabilities
Willingness to travel (when safe) to support campaigns as needed
Compensation and Benefits
We are committed to bringing in top talent from all sectors. Accordingly, we offer competitive salaries and benefits, including health (Harvard Pilgrim HMO or UnitedHealthcare PPO network) and dental insurance (Delta Dental), both with family/spouse/domestic partner options, retirement benefits, a health reimbursement account, a dependent care account, disability insurance, a wellness benefit, a health concierge benefit, a $1,500 annual professional development stipend, and four weeks paid vacation, plus personal and sick time.
The annual salary range for the Anti-Gerrymandering Campaign Manager is $120,000-$170,000, dependent on location and experience.
This position is permanently remote.

About RepresentUs:
RepresentUs is the nation’s leading right-left anti-corruption organization. We bring together conservatives, progressives, and everyone in between to secure crucial victories that fix America’s broken political system.
RepresentUs is a carefully curated mix of seasoned political campaigners, policy wonks, advertising experts, designers, and engineers. We’re not a startup, but we’ve got startup DNA: we’re nimble, constantly learning and iterating, and we push ourselves to push the envelope—to ignore “industry standards” and set a new standard.
We are an inclusive organization that welcomes and celebrates perspectives from all races and ethnicities, genders and identities, political and ideological affiliations, and experiences. We want everyone to feel empowered to bring their authentic selves to work.
We believe our political system should reflect the varied voices of our nation, and so should our team. That’s why we’re an Equal Opportunity Employer; people of color, women, people with disabilities, and LGBTQ candidates are strongly encouraged to apply.
