We’re hiring a Save the Post Office Campaigner!

The Take on Wall Street campaign is coordinating The Save The Post Office Coalition of over 300 organizations to protect and expand the U.S. Postal Service. This is a critical moment to stop the Post Office from being privatized, and instead, reinvent it as a hub for the services our communities desperately need, like postal banking. The coalition’s home, Take on Wall Street, aims to build a financial system for Black, white, and Brown working families, not the big Wall Street banks.

• Work with coalition partners to develop, maintain, and share campaign strategy and resources
• Implement fast–paced advocacy, grassroots, digital, and communications tactics to save the Post Office
• Help coordinate a large and diverse coalition
• Maintain and build relationships with state and local partners on grassroots and grasstops outreach, mobilization, and advocacy strategies
• Work with TOWS coalition and other stakeholders to reimagine USPS as a hub for community services like postal banking
  

The ideal candidate will be a highly motivated self–starter with a passion for economic, racial, and gender justice, and have a demonstrated ability to work well with a diverse team of colleagues and allies.

Additional strongly preferred experience and qualities include:

• At least 4 years of experience in issue or candidate campaigning, labor or campus organizing, or on the Hill
• Comfortable working in coalition
• The ability to manage multiple projects and navigate complex policies and relationships
• Strong writing and communication skills, including ability to distill complex topics into accessible and compelling formats
