Senior Campaigners/Strategists for International Movement Team

Purpose Campaigns is an international team based in New York that builds cutting-edge social and political movements. Our principals David Madden and Jeremy Heimans co-founded GetUp.org - an Australian online political movement that is now larger than all Australia's political parties put together and Avaaz.org, the world's largest online political community with more than 3.3 million members (a partnership with MoveOn.org).

Purpose Campaigns is currently advising advocacy groups and progressive companies around the world and is also incubating new issue-based movements. We're a new, unusual and evolving combination of an agency and a home for political and social entrepreneurship.

Purpose Campaigns has advised GlobalZero.org - a new global campaign for a world without nuclear weapons spearheaded by Richard Branson, Queen Noor, Jimmy Carter and Mikhail Gorbachev; the 2007 presidential campaign of Segolene Royal, the first woman to win a major party nomination for President of France; the Australian and US labor movements and is now building a global anti-cancer movement for the Lance Armstrong Foundation/Livestrong, among others.

We're now helping progressive brands champion issues and causes and market themselves in exciting new ways that go much further than traditional CSR or tokenistic "1% of every product sold helps save the rainforests" drivel.

We're looking to expand our team. We have some immediate project-based work available, and we're also looking for new, senior, full-time team members.

Our ideal candidate is an experienced campaigner, social entrepreneur or agency type with strong strategy, project management and client relationship skills, who is excited by the prospect of joining a global team focused on building innovative social and political movements, as well as helping progressive companies get their message out in entirely new ways.

Here are some of the qualities we're looking for:

-- Brilliant online organizers, campaigners and strategists who have the ability to creatively apply that set of skills across different issues and causes, and for different types of advocacy groups and companies. We're thinking about questions like how to build a mass consumer movement for electric cars --- if you are too, we should talk.
-- People who can combine high-level strategy with tactical creativity -- deploying online organizing, social media and content in innovative ways to build movements
-- People with demonstrated experience building and managing client relationships
-- Experienced team and project managers
-- Experience in advertising/branding and cause-related marketing is a plus
-- A sophisticated understanding of technology (including social media) and any technical experience is a plus
-- Great writers, political communicators and message-makers
-- A global sensibility, foreign language skills, global policy expertise and global work experience are all a big plus
-- Design skills and sensibility are a plus

If you're interested in finding out more, please send a short CV and brief cover note ASAP outlining your relevant experience to jeremy at purposecampaigns.com. Pay will be competitive and based on experience.

We have a strong preference for candidates based in New York City or willing to relocate, but if you think you might be a strong fit, we'd like to hear from you anyway.

*** Summer internships or positions requiring less experience are also available. If you're interested in those roles, let us know in your cover note.
