Job Description

About the Working Families Party

The Working Families Party (WFP) is the progressive party for the multiracial working class, fighting for a nation that works for the many, not the few. We recruit, train, and support transformational candidates up and down the ballot — and run them to win.  

We believe that no matter where we come from or what our color, most of us want the same things. We want to earn enough to thrive, not just survive, and leave a better future for our kids. We want healthy food and clean water, safe neighborhoods and a safe world. We want to be free.

The Working Families Party is regular people coming together across our differences to make a better future for us all. We’re a multiracial party that fights for workers over bosses and people over the powerful. We want an America which realizes the promise – unrealized in our history – of freedom and equality for all.

ABOUT THIS ROLE

The MA Organizing Director will lead the growth of our grassroots base and organizing operation in Massachusetts in support of our electoral goals. Our Massachusetts organizing objectives are to:

  1. Develop strong local teams that can repeatedly win and defend seats

  2. Enable volunteers to drive substantial aspects of Working Families Party and Working Families Power work through intentional recruitment, training, and distributed leadership

  3. Build a base of voters who identify with WFP and support our candidates

  4. Grow our multiracial working class membership base

  5. Deepen members’ involvement with Working Families Party and Working Families Power

The Organizing Director will be responsible for assembling and supporting long-term local and statewide volunteer teams, including leadership identification, recruitment, and active coaching and oversight. This role will also engage coalitions of leaders and partner organizations in working class cities to build effective structure, make decisions, and set strategy and tactics for elections and issue campaigns.

This position is supervised by the Massachusetts State Director. The role includes local and national professional development opportunities in areas such as volunteer management and recruitment, organizing, communications, electoral campaigns, and fundraising.
