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. This role will involve managing recruitment, negotiation, and onboarding of both distribution and endorsing partners for Change.vote within their target market, including working with campus interns for distribution. You will report to our Partnerships Lead, Emily Jakobsen.

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 an operating system for modern democracy. This includes our platform for giving people greater voice, a personalized voter guide for elections, and a new product which aims to bring people across the political spectrum together to identify shared solutions.

Change.org is 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.

To realize this vision, we're building a team at the intersection of technology and civic engagement — bringing together top talent focused on giving citizens a direct voice, strengthening accountability, and building stronger, more resilient democracies.

Key Outcomes

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

The most important core competencies for the role are

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

Nice to have: bilingual (English and Spanish)

Target experience

At least two cycles of campaign or advocacy work, specifically in organizing, field, political, comms, or marketing (digital or otherwise)
