Protect Democracy
Protect Democracy seeks a thoughtful, detail-oriented fundraiser to join our growing Partnerships team as an Annual Giving Officer. This is a unique opportunity for a talented early-to-mid-career fundraising professional looking to expand their skill set and make an impact in the movement to protect our democracy. As Annual Giving Officer, you’ll steward a portfolio of mid-level donors and run the engagement tools to grow it, including across our grassroots and peer-to-peer fundraising programs.
About the position: In this role, you’ll be a key player on a small, highly collaborative and effective team. We seek to steward deep, long-term, trusting relationships with donors, engaging them as true partners in the broader democracy ecosystem. That approach has paid off: We’ve raised substantial unrestricted operating funds and built a solid financial runway, which lets us hire exceptional talent and launch high-impact interventions. These include 150+ legal actions, critical federal and state legislation, and creative solutions like VoteShield , which monitors and protects 160 million public voter records across 25 states.
About the organization: Protect Democracy formed in late 2016, recognizing that the global wave of authoritarianism had begun to erode American shores . We have since assembled a team of 140+ experts who have served under Democrats and Republicans and in the senior ranks of other nonprofit, political, or media organizations. Our team includes lawyers, policy experts, legislative advocates, media strategists, writers, data analysts, and software developers. We deploy litigation, legislative and communications strategies, technology, research, and analysis to stand up for free and fair elections, the rule of law, fact-based debate, and a better democracy for future generations. For this work, our team received a Skoll Award for Social Innovation and a MacArthur Fellowship .
This is a remote position based in the United States.* The priority deadline to apply for this role is October 29, 2026 ; we will review applications received after that date on a rolling basis.
The Annual Giving Officer will:
Manage a portfolio that currently has about 300 mid level gift partners—both institutional funders and individuals—leveraging technology to assist in regular communications, soliciting gift renewals, and customized cultivation plans where appropriate;
Aim to grow this portfolio of donors to 500 by 2028 through strong collaboration with Partnerships team members, active stewardship, and management of our newly launched peer-to-peer fundraising tool;
Write & distribute high-quality quarterly e-newsletter & bi-annual e-appeals to grassroots donors, mostly through synthesis of existing material;
Assemble high-quality materials and communications that reflect Protect Democracy’s voice and mission, including grant proposals, reports, and donor correspondence;
Represent Protect Democracy in external meetings with donors and trusted intermediaries;
Conduct prospect research to identify new high-capacity individuals and institutions aligned with our mission;
Collaborate with the Partnerships team to set and track ambitious fundraising goals, maintaining accurate and up-to-date records;
Independently seek opportunities to build and improve on Protect Democracy’s fundraising operations by closely examining needs, assessing possible solutions, and making concise recommendations;
Contribute to Protect Democracy’s programmatic work and culture.
The ideal candidate brings:
Three or more years of professional experience, including experience working directly with donors;
Demonstrated comfort and experience with identifying, cultivating, stewarding, closing, and renewing 4-5 figure gift opportunities;
Proficiency with fundraising tools and CRMs with a preference for Raiser’s Edge experience, and a desire to help our team use data and automation more effectively;
Ability to correspond persuasively and authentically with key stakeholders;
A solid understanding of the political and philanthropic landscape;
Excellent judgment, time management, and follow-through;
A growth mindset and collaborative orientation, including enthusiasm for giving and receiving feedback in all directions;
A nuanced understanding of our country’s political landscape, the authoritarian threat , and the reality that our democracy has never fully represented communities of color;
Unfettered enthusiasm for Protect Democracy’s cross-ideological and nonpartisan approach to protecting our democracy.
At Protect Democracy, we believe that diversity isn’t just a strength — it’s a necessity for tackling the complex challenges facing democracy. A broad range of backgrounds, perspectives, and lived experiences strengthens our ability to analyze problems, craft solutions, and drive meaningful change.

If you meet most but not all of the criteria listed above but believe nonetheless you’d be a stellar match for the role and could grow into it, we want to hear from you.

Corporate Accountability
The take-away
Ready to take on some of the most powerful forces in our society? We’re looking for a Climate Director to join a fierce, smart team challenging global corporations, holding them accountable, and creating a world where all people can thrive.
Why you’ll love coming to work every day
You’ll help change the world by being part of fearless and 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 40 years, we’ve been exposing and challenging the abuses of the likes of Nestlé, Exxon Mobil, Philip Morris International, McDonald’s, and more. We don’t back down, and we run campaigns until we win.
You’ll work with awesome people. Join a team of passionate, kind, determined, optimistic, and solutions-oriented folks. We work hard, celebrate victories large and small, and always have each other’s backs.
You can take on big responsibilities as you go. You’ll thrive here as you develop new skills, tackle new challenges, learn, and grow. 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 who bear the brunt of 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. Our unique culture has been fostered by a long history of women 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
We live in remarkable times. The climate crisis is posing an existential threat to all of us and transnational corporations are at the heart of the disaster. Over the past decade, Corporate Accountability has partnered deeply with organizers and activists from around the world to Kick Big Polluters out of climate policy. As the consistent threats of the fossil fuel industry and other Big Polluters continue to grow, our climate campaign is at a pivotal moment of assessing how we can continue to make our greatest impact.
In this role, you’ll use your knowledge of the varying climate issues we face to develop and shape the next iteration of our climate campaign strategy to stop Big Polluters from continuing to devastate communities and the planet, while exposing the interconnected climate abuses that exist beyond these industries. You’ll work closely with our Managing Director of Campaigns alongside our research, broader campaigns, and communications teams to ensure we continue to build a collective vision for justice and success alongside the broader climate justice movement.
You will work closely with allies and coalition partners to deepen our existing partnerships and build new ones in the United States and around the world. You’ll develop and execute strategy meetings to create the plans we need to win and ensure they are implemented to make their greatest impact. And you’ll manage the financial and logistical systems for the campaign that are critical to keep us on track towards our goals. In doing so, you will play an integral part in leading the change we need to ensure our collective, global survival.
Who you are
The rampant abuses of corporations and the outrageous amount of power they have make you mad as hell—and you want to do something about it.
You have a commitment to advancing racial equity and ending systems of oppression, and are ready to do this in your day-to-day work. You understand that campaigning for justice must include working to dismantle white supremacy, institutional racism, legacies of colonialism, and anti-Blackness.
You are a seasoned organizer. You know how to create and implement a strong campaign plan: from development and honing in on strategy and targets, to goals and tactics, to expertly facilitating meetings and processes to implement your plan each step of the way. You can bring together a group of diverse participants, build on shared goals and visions, and work toward strategic outcomes.
You have experience organizing decision makers across varying sectors. The secret to your success? You know how to build relationships with integrity, leverage connections, and move people with power to action. Your trust-building and communications skills get you in the door, and your active listening and tenacious organizing skills get you to the “yes” that is needed. You are skilled at keeping things moving, while also knowing when it’s necessary to slow down; you know how to delegate effectively.
You know what it takes to manage from a place of leadership. Simply put, you know how to effectively bridge the gap between your team’s work and success, the coalitions you partner with, and how that adds up to supporting the overall priorities of the organization. And you know that managing a campaign and ally relationships also means navigating changing conditions with grace, making hard decisions, and having hard conversations—and the best way to do so is with openness, fairness, and input from others.
You’re a team player at heart. You’ve got the skills and experience to create a shared vision among a diverse group of people and motivate them to work together towards accomplishing their shared goals. You also know how to establish structure and clarity of roles and responsibilities within your team, ensuring organizational capacities align with team success. And you have demonstrated successfully working with people from a wide range of backgrounds, geographies, and cultural contexts.
You can work under pressure, and can come up with creative solutions when unexpected situations arise. When something doesn’t go as planned, you’re ready to adapt to changes and challenges and adjust to get back on track.
You have at least 5 years of experience in corporate campaigning, climate organizing, or other relevant fields.
What you’ll be responsible for in the day-to-day
Lead the climate campaign development in alignment with organizational priorities and budgets. Work in collaboration with our Managing Director of Campaigns and research unit to find points of strategic connection between campaign areas and sharpen our analysis of the movement landscape in order to hone our corporate campaigning. Regularly evaluate progress against campaign objectives, and help develop effective ongoing strategies.
Partner with key allies and coalition partners to monitor, identify, and develop member organizing and mobilization opportunities.
Drive forward climate campaign goals by leading staff and available contract capacity to hit deadlines and milestones internally and within coalition and ally spaces. You’ll collaborate with staff across the organization to help prioritize competing proposals and policies within coalition spaces by managing, tracking, and identifying our organizational points of connection.
Work in close coordination with our communications team to ensure our climate campaign’s strategies and tactics are integrated into our communications, in alignment with campaign goals.
Support the facilitation of strategic planning meetings to ensure we have the long-term and short-term vision, strategy, goals, and plans to advance an integrated campaigns agenda, all with an eye towards racial equity.
Oversee and execute key administrative functions for running the climate campaign including overseeing the campaign budget, supporting regranting to climate allies, and specific climate event/action planning logistics as needed.
Collaborate with our development team to provide insight on campaign strategies, changed conditions, and victories to ensure our fundraisers have the updates they need to update our donors. Participate in personal visits with our major donors to provide key campaign insight.
Travel 4 - 6 times each year to represent Corporate Accountability at U.N. and other international conferences, campaign actions, coalition convenings, and in-person planning sessions or team meetings. Our current approach to travel is staff-led, meaning we center the health and safety of our staff in these decisions.
Actively participate in organization-wide planning, fundraising, racial equity work, recruitment, and campaign activities.
Salary and benefits:
Hours: Corporate Accountability’s full-time staff generally work 32 hours per week, with periods of more intensive work that correspond with the ebb and flow nature of campaigns or projects throughout the year.
Our core hours are 10 am - 4 pm ET on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, with flexibility to determine your remaining hours of the week in coordination with your supervisor and team. Given the nature of campaigning and working with folks across multiple timezones, this role will regularly meet with key allies at 6 am PT/ 7 am CT/ 8am ET. There will be additional instances where you will need to be available outside of standard business hours.
Benefits: Our comprehensive benefit package includes:
Health insurance (with 90% of the premium for all tiers covered by the organization) and dental coverage (with 100% of the individual premium covered by the organization); Flexible Spending Account (FSA) options for transit, health care, and dependent care; voluntary life insurance; an employee assistance program; and 401(k) with employer match.
Generous time off policies including one month of personal vacation time, one week of office closure for collective rest, holidays, and unlimited wellness days to prioritize health.
$40/month home office stipend with $250 provided at the time of hire to go towards setting up a home office.
Both internal and external training and leadership development opportunities.
Salary : $80,000
Location :
Remote with the option to transition or utilize our Campaign Headquarters in downtown Boston, MA.
We are looking for great candidates from a wide range of backgrounds. If you don’t exactly fit the job description, 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 our next Climate Director.
To apply: Visit www.corporateaccountability.org/employment-opportunities. Attach your résumé to the online application and include a cover letter.
Please include where you heard about the position. Due to our current capacity to process applications, we will be responding on a rolling basis and therefore might take between 2 – 4 weeks to respond to your application.
Corporate Accountability stops transnational corporations from devastating democracy, perpetuating systemic racism, trampling human rights, and destroying our planet.

Corporate Accountability is an equal opportunity employer and an inclusive organization. Black and Indigenous people and other people of color, women, nonbinary people, LGBTQ+ and disabled folks are strongly encouraged to apply. Join more than 60 smart and driven staff and interns working in this dynamic organization with a powerful network of members and allies around the world.

Development and Vendor Management
Prioritize and sequence development across releases, breaking work into shippable increments and communicating decisions, trade-offs, dependencies, and changes
Serve as the primary product contact for external development and design vendors, setting scope, maintaining issue queues, coordinating dependencies, and reviewing work

Partner with technical experts on architecture, data sharing and storage, privacy and compliance, accessibility, and AI reliability to address risks and ensure solutions meet product requirements
Product Performance and Team Enablement
Define and monitor product health and business performance measures, including adoption, renewal, review throughput, reviewer efficiency, development and AI operating costs, and profitability
Use customer insights and performance data to recommend product improvements and pricing and packaging decisions
Maintain clear product documentation, release notes, decision records, and planning processes
Equip sales, communications, and client-facing teams with the necessary product information and materials
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
Ten or more years in software product management, including at least one product carried from definition through launch and at least two cycles of iteration afterward.
Experience leading outsourced or vendor-built product development, setting clear requirements, guiding execution, and holding partners accountable for quality and delivery.
Technical fluency sufficient to read an application programming interface specification, understand a data model, question an architectural choice, and determine whether an estimate is credible.
Working knowledge of the United States K-12 education market, specifically how state and local education agencies budget, buy, and adopt. Familiarity with curriculum structure, adoption process, implementation, professional learning, or educator development valued.
Demonstrated ability to engage directly with customer stakeholders and translate their feedback into clear, actionable findings.
