Job description

The Operations Coordinator Fellow extends Netcentric Campaigns’ leadership capacity across our full portfolio. The Fellow is focused on participating in all key meetings and tracking commitments, organizing meetings, and keeping communications moving through the pipeline on time. This is a flow‑management and coordination role working directly with the Executive Director across our networks, including the Halt the Harm Network, StopBadDataCenters, Networked Nation, WashDesk, and our core operations as a small nonprofit. Part‑time, remote, 6 month term with possibility of extension. Apply using the form below and select “Operations Coordination Fellowship”.

We are seeking people for whom this work complements and is synergistic along with their other volunteer or paid work tied to career development, grassroots organizing, and progressive issues.

Netcentric Campaigns has been building advocacy networks since 2000. We support a distributed network of leaders working across climate justice, environmental health, democracy, and civic infrastructure. In any given week, that means a newsletter in draft, a funder report due, three partner meetings producing commitments, and projects like the Halt the Harm Network in motion.

The Operations Coordinator Fellowship exists to make sure none of it slips.

What the Fellow Does

Working directly with the Executive Director, the Fellow extends leadership capacity across all of our work areas in the following ways.

Communications flow. Track newsletters, blog posts, funder updates, and briefings as they move from draft to completion. Follow up with the people responsible for content. Keep the content library organized and current.

Meeting support. Build agendas, send pre‑reads, capture decisions, translate them into assigned action items, and track follow‑through. Prepare briefing materials before board meetings, funder conversations, and partner convenings.

Commitment tracking. Maintain a running record of open commitments across staff, fellows, and partners and a weekly snapshot of open threads, priorities, and risks. Track the fundraising pipeline so deadlines don’t sneak up on us.

Alongside the day‑to‑day work, the Fellow joins Netcentric Campaigns’ broader fellowship learning program working with peers, studying the Field Guide for Network Managers, and gaining a practical understanding of how advocacy networks get built.

What This Role Is Not

This is not a program strategy role, not a content writing role, and not a passive administrative position. Campaign strategy and editorial judgment stay with program staff and content leads. The Fellow’s job is to make sure the right people are producing, polishing, and moving work through the pipeline on time.

Who This Role Is For

Netcentric Campaigns operates on five core values: supportive, professional, innovative, cheerful, and empathetic. These aren’t decorative. They shape how we treat colleagues, clients, partners, and vendors; how we show up in meetings; and how we handle pressure when things get hard. We take them seriously enough that fit with our values matters as much to us as any skill or output success.

You may be a strong fit if you naturally keep track of multiple moving pieces, follow up consistently without being prompted, prefer structured systems over ambiguity, and are comfortable working closely with leadership in a fast‑moving environment. It is good for folks interested in organizing, project management, social and issue campaign dynamics, and network power building. This fellowship is appropriate for an early‑career professional or a career‑changer with strong organizational instincts. Deep domain expertise is not required but care about the work is.

You may not be a fit if you prefer independent projects, loosely defined responsibilities, or minimal follow‑up expectations.

What You’ll Gain

Direct exposure to how national advocacy networks operate. Close collaboration with senior leadership and with the funders, researchers, and movement leaders in our networks. Real, transferable skills in operations, project management, and communications coordination. And membership in the broader Netcentric Campaigns fellows network — once a Fellow, always a Fellow.

Structure

Fellowship (independent contractor, 1099). Part‑time to full‑time; a minimum of roughly 20 hours per week is recommended to provide meaningful capacity. 6–12 month initial term, with possibility of extension. Remote. Stipend commensurate with experience, confirmed at hiring.
