Unite America seeks a Vice President, People & Operations . This senior executive role is a unique and timely opportunity to join a leading national, nonpartisan democracy reform organization and 25-person team that is poised to make a scalable, sustainable, and significant impact on the U.S. electoral system. The role will be primarily responsible for acquiring, developing, and retaining top talent to advance the organization’s mission, cultivating a high performing team culture and effective organizational practices that prioritize our shared values, and overseeing all operations functions, including legal and finance. The Vice President, People & Operations reports to the Executive Director and currently manages a team of three full-time staff as well as multiple contractors and vendors.
OUR ORGANIZATION
Unite America is a coalition of Democrats, Republicans, and independents that aims to foster a representative and functional government committed to solving the nation’s major challenges. We invest in candidates, campaigns, and organizations to advance nonpartisan electoral reforms that improve governing incentives and put voters first.
Founded in 2014, Unite America and its 25-person team has grown to be a leader in the democracy reform movement — supporting, coordinating and executing to advance policy and elect pro-reform candidates. The Unite America Fund launched in 2019 and has since mobilized tens of millions of dollars from dozens of philanthropists to reform campaigns and candidates across the country.
Over the last three years, the Unite America Fund has been the driving force behind passing and implementing Ranked Choice Voting (RCV) in New York City, the largest expansion of RCV in history; defeating the most extremist member of Congress in their primary election in 2020; adopting a first of it's kind final-four voting system in Alaska to address the “ primary problem ;” winning an anti-gerrymandering campaign in Virginia; and electing state lawmakers across the country who have formed cross-partisan legislative caucuses already advancing groundbreaking electoral reforms. We are focused on dramatically scaling our impact in the years to come.
At Unite America, we are working to build a more representative and functional government that puts voters first and reflects the diversity of our country. We believe in an inclusive democracy where leaders embrace problem solving over fueling divisiveness. Likewise, organizationally, we have a vision of building a team that reflects diverse identities, experiences and perspectives; a culture of working across differences toward common goals; and a workplace where everyone feels included, respected and heard. 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.
