Hi, we have a position open for an online organizer at CREDO Action. It’s
the same type of position I’m in now and it’s a really great job. If you
have any questions about the position, please let me know.

Matt Lockshin

ONLINE ORGANIZER / NEW MEDIA CAMPAIGN MANAGER

CREDO Action is looking for a proven organizer who has successfully used
Internet tools to promote and achieve progressive political goals. We seek a
fun, aggressive, DIY political campaigner with great technical chops, a
curious mind and strong copywriting skills.

Responsibilities include:

* Running online action campaigns. This includes: writing petitions and
associated email newsletters (copy and HTML coding), working with the design
team for graphic needs, monitoring action performance, and conducting
necessary follow-up actions (tell-a-friend letters, etc.).

* Mining the news for ripe action opportunities, monitoring what’s hot at
other activism organizations, and building coalitions to maximize
opportunities to work with other organizations.

* Working on special projects including: call-in campaigns, occasional event
planning, and work involving CREDO’s social media presence.

* Relentlessly analyzing all campaign work with an eye toward effectiveness
and innovation.

This is by no means an exhaustive list of responsibilities. We need someone
who comes with a lot of great ideas and is willing to jump into new projects
as needed. We are not looking for a professional policy wonk – real
organizing experience means more to us than a law degree.

Here are some qualities/experienc e we think our ideal candidate will have:

* Familiarity with e-advocacy tools and how to use them to promote social
change.

* A passion for progressive politics.

* Nuts-and-bolts organizing experience, and an understanding of what
motivates folks to take action.

* Some knowledge of HTML coding preferred (at the very least, a strong
willingness to learn very quickly).

* Ability to write quickly and well under intense deadline pressure.

* Willingness to throw a thousand ideas at the wall and run with the ones
that work without getting frustrated about the ones that don’t.

* A lot of energy and enthusiasm – not to mention a healthy sense of humor -
and a willingness to work long hours when needed.

* A probing sense of curiosity – someone who’ll always want to know why
something worked or didn’t work and how we can do better next time. Someone
who will question the conventional wisdom.

The position is located in San Francisco. If you want to apply send a short
note about why you are interested in the job and your resume to

Eric,

I believe the deadline is past for applying for the positions. Resumes were
to be emailed to the company to the contacts listed in my original email.
Ques&T has a website, I don’t know about GEA, but neither is likely
accepting phone calls regarding the positions. The jobs are real, and I
know of at least 2 people that received the information that were hired. My
source for the job listing was completely reliable or I would not have
listed it.

Again, for the list, I am not personally affiliated in any way with the
corporations hiring for these positions. Email resumes only, not phone
calls, and to only the email address listed in my original posting. If more
applications are being accepted, or the deadline extended, I will now only
post for the list if people request me to do so.

I also cannot personally respond to the hundreds of you that emailed me your
information.
