Descrição da oferta de emprego

Democracy Fund is seeking a highly motivated and skilled Program Associate to support the work of the Just & Inclusive Society (JIS) program. The JIS program supports organizations, networks, and field-builders that dare to reimagine what American society could look like, and that stare down the most daunting challenges our democracy faces over the next several decades. We support diverse organizations and communities to work together to center everyday people, especially those that have been historically marginalized or excluded from participation and power, to lead and shape the pro-democracy social movements needed to achieve an inclusive, multi-racial democracy that is open, just, resilient, and trustworthy. We do this through support for community organizing, movement-building, and cultivating ecosystems and networks committed to our vision.

This position involves working closely with colleagues to implement JIS’ grantmaking strategy, building close relationships with grantees, grantmaking, and project management. It provides a unique opportunity for a detailed and creative thinker, committed to improving our democracy.

The ideal candidate will have a high level of curiosity, integrity, and an interest in civil and human rights, racial and gender justice, community organizing, and innovative approaches to pro-democracy movement building. We are looking for an organized, collaborative, and goal-oriented individual who can take a step back and connect details across our larger vision.

The program Associate will report to the Associate Director, and will also support the work of Democracy Fund Voice, a separate social welfare organization.

Democracy Fund is committed to a diverse workplace, seeking voices and expertise from people from across the political spectrum. Our board, staff, advisors, and grantees include republicans, democrats, and independents. Democracy Fund is an Equal Opportunity Employer, where we encourage candidates of all ages, color, ethnic background, country of origin, religion, disability status, gender, sexual orientation, and gender identity to apply.
