Familiarity with Python or R: Review code written by the Data Scientist.
Analysis and Communication: Demonstrated experience gleaning actionable insights from political data (voter files, field data, polling); ability to communicate clearly in presentations, graphs, and written memos.
Dashboards and visuals: Demonstrated experience creating dashboards, a deep understanding of visualization best practices and accessibility.
A service oriented approach to data work that prioritizes collaboration, supporting staff and partners, centering equity, and building for the long term.

The take-away
Ready to take on some of the most powerful forces in our society? We’re looking for a Senior Communications 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 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
For more than four decades, Corporate Accountability has moved millions of people to challenge corporate power through hard-hitting campaigns that win victories for health, human rights, democracy, and the planet. Compelling communications, paired with strategic grassroots organizing, are at the core of what we do. They’re how we’ve won hearts and minds around the globe to build a world free of corporate abuse, as we’ve taken on the fossil fuel industry, water privatizers, Big Food, and Big Tobacco. And they’re key to building even more momentum.
That’s where you come in. We’re looking for someone to take our communications to the next level by creatively engaging members, activists, and allies in our campaigns and mission, with a focus on the digital space. That includes crafting and driving compelling copy and multimedia from start to finish to connect with people in their homes, on their phones, and out in the world through our email program, social media, our ally networks, and creative new channels. You will also provide project management and administrative support, bringing crucial capacity to our communications team.
Through it all, you’ll keep essential systems running to make sure we meet our deadlines, produce the best content possible, and build deep, meaningful relationships with all the people we need inside and outside the organization to keep making our impact in the world.
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’re a stellar writer. You know how to communicate stories and concepts clearly to move people to action, and you can nimbly adjust your voice and tone to meet different people where they’re at, whether that’s in a social post or caption, a long-form email or blog, through video, or over the phone. Your strong attention to detail ensures your copy is clean and nearly error-free every time, and that you adhere to established messaging and style guides. And you consistently seek and implement feedback to improve your craft as you go.
You’re a tenacious organizer. You know how to build relationships with integrity, leverage connections, and build power for global change with people from diverse backgrounds. And you know that any piece of communication is only as effective as the breadth of its reach, so you’re creative and fearless about picking up the phone, sending an email, or sliding into someone’s DMs to build partnerships that will get your work out in the world.
You have solid experience managing projects from start to finish, meeting tough deadlines, and managing both up and laterally to get what you need. You appreciate elegant and effective processes and are passionate about creating and implementing them. It goes without saying that you are highly organized.

Materials include but are not limited to advocacy and fundraising emails and texts, blog posts and other web copy, social media content and amplification toolkits, phone bank raps and video scripts, and more.
Partner with our Digital Director to run our email, text and social media programs. You’ll craft, load, test, and send emails and texts that move members and supporters to take action, donate, and get involved in our campaigns. You’ll design and implement tactics to grow our social media audiences on platforms including but not limited to Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, Bluesky, and YouTube.

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.
