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.

The take-away
Ready to take on some of the most powerful forces in our society? We’re looking for a Senior Water Organizer 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 LGBTQIA+ 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
Water is life–but there are far too many people across the globe who do not have access to the basic human right of safe water. Transnational water corporations are exploiting and exacerbating this crisis to gain control of and privatize water systems, putting profit over the health and livelihoods of millions in the U.S. and around the world. And water privatizers and entities like the World Bank are targeting the Global South, and Africa in particular, as an expansion region for the water privatization market. That’s why we need to organize to prevent water privatization globally and promote well-funded, democratically-accountable, and equitable public water solutions.
For over a decade, Corporate Accountability has partnered deeply with organizers and activists from around the world to run powerful grassroots campaigns that have successfully stopped water privatization in its tracks. From Lagos, Nigeria to Flint, Michigan and beyond, we work with our partners to expose the abuses of private water corporations and stop them from taking control of public water systems. And our collective victories have sent shockwaves through the industry, compelling strategic shifts and transformative change. You’ll be a part of the team harnessing this momentum to advance water justice around the globe–and stop the private water industry’s schemes.
Our water campaign is built on deep relationship-building, clear collective goals and sharp strategies, and strong systems and coordination. That’s where you come in. You’ll deepen our existing partnerships and build new ones with activists in the U.S. and around the world. You’ll help develop and execute strategy meetings with your team and allies to create the plans we need to win. And you’ll manage the financial and logistical systems that are critical to keep us on track towards our goals and our vision of a world of safe, democratically controlled water systems for all.
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 dismantling 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, colonialism, and anti-Blackness.
You are an organizer and campaigner to your core, and you have a deep understanding of power dynamics—including how your own position affects those dynamics. You thrive on building authentic relationships; you know trust is earned and you know how to earn it. You know how grassroots campaigning can impact powerful institutions, how to develop tactics that connect to overall strategies, how to move people to action—all the while paying close and thoughtful attention to complex cultural, political, and interpersonal dynamics.
You're an experienced project manager. You know how to develop systems, tools, and processes to get your team from point A to point B. Your keen eye for detail helps keep things on track -- but when unanticipated challenges arise, you're skilled at navigating changed conditions to move your team toward success.
You know how to craft a strong campaign plan from goals to tactics, and expertly facilitate meetings and processes to implement your plan. You can bring together a group of diverse participants, build on shared goals and visions, and work toward strategic outcomes. 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 the power of compelling communication and have the skills to craft engaging written content that moves people to action.
Spanish, French, and/or Portuguese language skills are a bonus.
You have 3 -5 years of experience in social justice organizing or other relevant fields.
What you’ll be responsible for in the day-to-day
Play a lead role in water campaign coordination, including leading strategic planning meetings internally and with allies, internal coordination huddles, and coalition calls. Given the international scope of our campaign, you will be working across timezones.

Full time
The take-away
Ready to take on some of the most powerful forces in our society? We’re looking for a Senior Water Organizer 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 LGBTQIA+ 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
Water is life–but there are far too many people across the globe who do not have access to the basic human right of safe water. Transnational water corporations are exploiting and exacerbating this crisis to gain control of and privatize water systems, putting profit over the health and livelihoods of millions in the U.S. and around the world. And water privatizers and entities like the World Bank are targeting the Global South, and Africa in particular, as an expansion region for the water privatization market. That’s why we need to organize to prevent water privatization globally and promote well-funded, democratically-accountable, and equitable public water solutions.
For over a decade, Corporate Accountability has partnered deeply with organizers and activists from around the world to run powerful grassroots campaigns that have successfully stopped water privatization in its tracks. From Lagos, Nigeria to Flint, Michigan and beyond, we work with our partners to expose the abuses of private water corporations and stop them from taking control of public water systems. And our collective victories have sent shockwaves through the industry, compelling strategic shifts and transformative change. You’ll be a part of the team harnessing this momentum to advance water justice around the globe–and stop the private water industry’s schemes.
Our water campaign is built on deep relationship-building, clear collective goals and sharp strategies, and strong systems and coordination. That’s where you come in. You’ll deepen our existing partnerships and build new ones with activists in the U.S. and around the world. You’ll help develop and execute strategy meetings with your team and allies to create the plans we need to win. And you’ll manage the financial and logistical systems that are critical to keep us on track towards our goals and our vision of a world of safe, democratically controlled water systems for all.
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 dismantling 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, colonialism, and anti-Blackness.
You are an organizer and campaigner to your core, and you have a deep understanding of power dynamics—including how your own position affects those dynamics. You thrive on building authentic relationships; you know trust is earned and you know how to earn it. You know how grassroots campaigning can impact powerful institutions, how to develop tactics that connect to overall strategies, how to move people to action—all the while paying close and thoughtful attention to complex cultural, political, and interpersonal dynamics.
You're an experienced project manager. You know how to develop systems, tools, and processes to get your team from point A to point B. Your keen eye for detail helps keep things on track -- but when unanticipated challenges arise, you're skilled at navigating changed conditions to move your team toward success.
You know how to craft a strong campaign plan from goals to tactics, and expertly facilitate meetings and processes to implement your plan. You can bring together a group of diverse participants, build on shared goals and visions, and work toward strategic outcomes. 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 the power of compelling communication and have the skills to craft engaging written content that moves people to action.
Spanish, French, and/or Portuguese language skills are a bonus.
You have 3 -5 years of experience in social justice organizing or other relevant fields.
What you’ll be responsible for in the day-to-day
Play a lead role in water campaign coordination, including leading strategic planning meetings internally and with allies, internal coordination huddles, and coalition calls. Given the international scope of our campaign, you will be working across timezones.
Provide robust administrative and coordination support. This includes a lead role in the campaign budgeting process and cash flow management, coordination with key partners on joint fundraising priorities such as foundation proposals, review of campaign materials, and project management.
Collaborate with team and key allies to develop and implement strategies and tactics to challenge water privatization and advance the human right to water.
Organize closely with our lead partners in Nigeria, local activists on the African continent, and organizers and activists in cities in the U.S. challenging water privatization in their communities, helping ensure access to the logistical, technological, research, and communications support necessary to run successful campaign actions.
Partner with people from public officials to local activists to international allies to monitor, develop, and seize opportunities to stop water privatization and build international visibility and solidarity with water justice struggles around the world.
Represent the organization at ally convenings, in policymaking spaces, and with our members.
Actively participate in organization-wide planning, fundraising, racial equity work, recruitment, and campaign activities.
