Change.org Elections Organizers - Florida

Change.org is searching for Elections Organizers for Change.vote, shaping experiences for voters and elected officials that increase clarity, trust, and participation in democracy. You will report to our Partnerships Lead, Emily Jakobsen.

About the role

As a key member of our Elections team, you’ll drive traffic to Change.vote through partnerships and campus interns, and recruit endorsers to submit their candidates of choice within the Change.vote ecosystem. This role will involve managing recruitment, negotiation, and onboarding of both distribution and endorsing partners for Change.vote within your target market, including working with campus interns for distribution.

Change.org is the world’s largest platform for democracy. At a time when dissatisfaction with democracy globally is at an all-time high, we’re investing heavily in using AI to build the most powerful tools in the world to give people greater voice, while bringing people across the political spectrum together to identify shared solutions. Our core petitions platform, used by more than 100 million people annually, is growing rapidly—and we are rebuilding it from the ground-up using new tools to turn anyone into a powerful civic leader on the issues they care about. Soon we will launch a new platform to identify the over 80% of issues that most people agree on, locally and nationally, and to mobilize hundreds of millions of people to advocate for those common-ground solutions.

Change.org is also building the most trusted, accessible, and transparent election information platform in the United States, Change.vote. In our 2025 pilot, thousands of voters used the app to explore their ballots, with high engagement, strong satisfaction, and a meaningful increase in voter confidence. Our goal for 2026 is bold: scale Change.vote to millions of voters nationwide.

Responsibilities

• Identify and build relationships with civic, advocacy, and community organizations across target markets, mostly cities
• Build and manage distribution partnerships with civic organizations, nonprofits, and other non-partisan entities (e.g., corporations) across the state
• Map the local nonprofit landscape in each target market and prioritize organizations with existing voter engagement infrastructure
• Provide orgs with simple, ready-to-use distribution assets—flyers, social copy, email blurbs, QR codes—so adoption requires minimal lift on their end
• Coordinate distribution moments tied to their existing calendar: community events, service days, open enrollment periods, back-to-school nights, etc.
• Help recruit and fully manage campus representatives within your assigned markets with specific outreach goals
• Recruit organizations to contribute their endorsements and commentary to Change.vote
• Navigate each organization's approval process—often multiple stakeholders, sometimes state or national sign-off
• Get endorsement data into change.vote in whatever format the organization already uses (spreadsheet, PDF, or otherwise)
• Track outreach results and pipeline status in a specific CRM
• Provide feedback to the Change.vote Marketing Team about learnings throughout the cycle

Requirements

• An existing network of civic or advocacy contacts; ideally local/field-level, not just statewide leadership
• Comfortable initiating cold outreach and closing relationships independently; outreach volume will determine success in this role
• Experience managing volunteers or interns
• Can work independently and adapt tactics without needing a rigid script
• AI experience needed: fluent and increasingly strategic
• At least two cycles of campaign or advocacy work, specifically in organizing, field, political, comms, or marketing (digital or otherwise)

Nice to have

• Bilingual (English and Spanish)
