Job Description

The inaugural Managing Director serves as the coordinating and operational lead for the Coalition to Advance Public Safety. In service of CAPS’ life-saving work, the Managing Director will facilitate collaboration among Core4 team members, funders, local leaders, and other stakeholders; monitor and report on project deliverables and objectives; and manage coalition finances and administration. The MD will report to the Core4 Executive Directors and may manage staff and/or contractors as project needs and resources dictate.

This is a remote opportunity with up to 25% travel. While reporting to all four of the CAPS EDs, the Managing Director position will initially be housed at The Health Alliance for Violence Intervention (HAVI) and operate as a contract position with compensation between $170,000 to $180,000. The role is currently funded for three years; beyond that, continued engagement or employment is contingent on CAPS receiving additional grant funding. As CAPS’s first dedicated staffer, the Managing Director will work with the Core4 team to determine the organization’s evolution, potentially into a fiscally sponsored entity or an independent non-profit. At that time, the Managing Director is expected to shift from being a contractor for HAVI (a unit of Health Resources in Action) to being a benefited employee of CAPS (or CAPS’s fiscal sponsor).

Organization Description

Developed in 2022 and officially launched in 2023, the Coalition to Advance Public Safety (CAPS) is a national coalition of four Black-led violence intervention organizations: The Health Alliance for Violence Intervention (HAVI), the National Institute for Criminal Justice Reform (NICJR), the Community-Based Public Safety Collective (The Collective), and Cities United. The initiative aims to reduce gun homicides and non-fatal shootings by 20 percent in 12 cities over five years by building, strengthening, and expanding Community Violence Intervention (CVI) Ecosystems.

To achieve this goal, CAPS works together with mayors, city officials, law enforcement, community-based organizations, and hospitals to develop and sustain a coordinated, outcomes-driven public safety ecosystem focused on violence reduction. CAPS systematically deploys proven technical assistance and training in cities with high gun violence rates to support scaling effective violence intervention strategies. By working in partnership, CAPS can improve coordination quality and facilitate greater adaptability of local strategies to gun violence trends. The CVI Ecosystem includes a range of strategies to address violence that are complementary to existing law enforcement, social services, and other municipal entities. For more information, visit www.cviecosystem.org.

The four CAPS organizations (referred to as the Core4) bring decades of experience in the field of Community Violence Intervention. As nationally recognized experts, the Core4 served as training and technical assistance providers for the White House Community Violence Intervention Collaborative (CVIC) from 2021-2022. Today, CAPS is supported by the Ballmer Group and the Schusterman Family Philanthropies.

Job Description

THE OPPORTUNITY
The American political system is not reflective of the American people.
It’s no secret that barriers have been created to exclude and marginalize certain communities from being the decision makersin government.
We especially see this at the state and local levels.
More than half of all Americans are millennials or younger, but only 6% of state legislators are 35 or younger. Among state legislators, only 33% are women, 10% are Black, 6% are Latino, and 4% are Asian/Pacific Islander. And only 0.2% of elected officials openly identify as LGBTQIA+.
When elected officials don’t reflect the people they represent, it undermines the power of people and our democracy.
Run for Something (RFS) is changing what leadership looks like in America by building one of the largest candidate pipelines in progressive politics and bringing those young people into public service.
Founded in 2017, RFS has recruited nearly 150,000 young people who want to run for office.
Through their innovative people-first program that treats candidates like people first and political actors second, RFS has helped elect more than 1,000 of them — mostly women and people of color, a quarter of whom identify as LGBTQIA+, and all millennials and Gen Z — to the kinds of state and local offices that make real meaningful change.
Run for Something seeks a fearless, inspiring Executive Director to help lead the organization’s next chapter with fresh eyes, new energy, and a bold sense of optimism about what might be possible.
This new role is an incredible opportunity to provide visionary leadership and set the course for the future at one of the most important organizations to come out of the post-2016 era in politics

THE ROLE
The Executive Director will build upon the success of RFS over the last seven years and guide the organization into its next chapter.
The Executive Director will drive the organization’s strategic vision and lead day-to-day organizational responsibilities, including management of the executive leadership team.
The Executive Director must be passionate about the mission, warm and empathetic, and able to balance a people-centered management approach while also holding a rigorous standard of excellence and impact.
The Executive Director will report to RFS Co-founder Amanda Litman, who is transitioning to the role of President.
The Executive Director will be responsible for ensuring that the programs, structures, systems, and processes across the organization are aligned with the RFS mission and that day-to-day operations are set up for maximum impact.
The Executive Director will supervise the executive leadership team and provide thought partnership, guidance, and support to an experienced team of strategic and ambitious senior leaders.
The Executive Director will oversee a talented, high-reaching, hungry team of 50 and ensure they have the support, capacity, and resources to achieve the organization’s ambitious goals.
The Executive Director will actively contribute, integrate, and ensure accountability for the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) goals set by RFS while also playing an active role in fostering a diverse, equitable, and inclusive organizational culture.
This position will direct an annual budget of approximately $12 million and oversee Run for Something’s 527 non-federal PAC, Run for Something Action Fund (a 501c4), and Run for Something Civics (a non-partisan 501c3).
The ideal candidate is a collaborative leader and exceptional manager with high emotional intelligence and a demonstrated commitment to Run for Something’s mission. The Executive Director will bring a command of electoral politics, organizational leadership and strategy, and take their work—but not themselves—too seriously.

About The Carbon Advocacy Project
The Carbon Advocacy Project (CAP) funds climate advocacy campaigns that advance federal policy changes commensurate with the urgency of the climate crisis.

Launched in 2022, CAP funds both existing campaigns and originates campaigns where the team sees opportunities. We are comfortable being the first and—at times only—funder in a pivotal campaign, and we largely reserve our funding for those moments when it is make or break, and rapid response funding might make the difference between a win or a loss.

CAP provides both c(4) or c(3) funding—whatever is most appropriate for policy success. Successful advocacy campaigns employ a wide variety of tactics, and we have supported everything from insider lobbying to social media influencer programs to door-to-door canvassing to alliances of unlikely allies.

CAP anticipates funding up to $8 million in grants in 2024. This year, most of the advocacy work will be directed at the Biden Administration, along with selected independent regulatory bodies, and will be complemented by congressional lobbying or education. CAP’s congressional work focuses on defeating damaging policy or budget riders that aim to promote fossil fuels.

CAP is not ideological in goals or tactics with the exception of a commitment to a rapid decarbonization of the U.S. economy. The Carbon Advocacy Project looks forward to a future moment when climate legislation is possible.

Job Description

Senior Communications Strategist Job Opportunity

“The truth, well told” can speed progress toward change

The Ohio River Valley institute (ORVI) – an independent nonprofit providing research and solutions for a more sustainable, equitable, democratic, and prosperous Appalachia – is hiring for the newly created position of Senior Communications Strategist.

This is not a traditional communications role

Words, images, and metaphors help us stake out areas of common ground, connect policy to people’s lives, and can even shape the underlying cultural mythologies that define a region’s choices. This belief is at the heart of this new position.

Along with our team of regionally-focused experts producing substantive research on the most pressing issues facing our communities, the Senior Communications Strategist will take an empirical, research-driven approach to communications that will boost the outreach and communication efforts of the Ohio River Valley’s entire progressive community.

Seeking unconventional strategists

Alongside sharing our mission to build a more prosperous, sustainable, and equitable Appalachia, we seek an unconventional communications strategist, a persuasive relationship builder, and a curious, self-directed, and entrepreneurial professional. If you believe this is a role that you’ll be excited to work in each day, read on and please apply!

Join us in building a more prosperous, sustainable, and equitable Appalachia!

Read the full announcement here: https://www.google.com/url?q=https://ohiorivervalleyinstitute.org/job-opportunity-senior-communications-strategist/&sa=D&source=editors&ust=1711652968582262&usg=AOvVaw3wz5sZQEmvvKYHWgSC4T6a

LOCATION: Remote, ideally from within the Ohio River Valley region (Western Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Eastern Kentucky and Eastern Ohio)

SALARY: $85,000 - $100,000; includes generous benefits package

TO APPLY: Applications submitted by April 23, 2024 will be given full consideration. Applications will be reviewed as soon as they are received; initial screening calls are anticipated to begin in mid-April. Early applications are strongly encouraged.

About the Ohio River Valley Institute
Founded in 2020, the Ohio River Valley Institute (ORVI) supports communities in the region working to advance a more prosperous, sustainable, and equitable Appalachia. The Institute produces data-driven research and proposes policies to improve the economic performance and standards of living for the greater Ohio River Valley, with a focus on shared prosperity, clean energy, and equitable democracy.

With ten staff members, our organization is fully remote and operates as a program of the Community Foundation for the Alleghenies. Our work covers the Appalachian states of Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia, and Kentucky, and after nearly four years in operation our team has already made a significant impact, bringing the challenges and opportunities facing our region to national audiences. Our work has been featured in the media hundreds of times, including high-profile stories at NPR’s StateImpact, Forbes, ProPublica, The New Republic, and CNN.

ORVI is engaged in boundary-pushing, cutting-edge work in some of the most challenging and exciting sectors in our region, including: building shared prosperity and clean energy; uncovering the false promises of hydrogen and carbon capture, natural gas, petrochemicals, and plastics; and repairing legacy damage from the fossil fuel industry. Our research portfolio includes long-form reports and informative blog posts, and our communications team ensures that this work reaches the audiences who need it most through traditional and social media channels.

Our organizational culture is one of collaboration and excellence, with deep respect for one another and an openness to new perspectives.

Organizational Commitment to Equity
As an independent research center, the Ohio River Valley Institute is committed to ensuring that our work accurately incorporates learnings from, and contemplates the potential impact on, people with a broad range of backgrounds and experiences in the region. We recognize that where equity is absent, there are no strong communities, thriving economies, or healthy environments.

The Ohio River Valley Institute has contributed to equity in our communities in two key ways: shining a light on the false economic promises made by the fossil fuel industry and examining the cost to working families in the region if we do nothing to shift our policy landscape and economic development strategy to better support community wellbeing.

About the Senior Communications Strategist Role
This is not a traditional communications position

“The truth, well told” can speed progress toward change. Words, images, and metaphors help us stake out areas of common ground, connect policy to people’s lives, and can even shape the underlying cultural mythologies that define a region’s choices. This belief is at the heart of this new position.

Along with our team of regionally-focused experts producing substantive research on the most pressing issues facing our communities, the Senior Communications Strategist will take an empirical, research-driven approach to communications that will boost the outreach and communication efforts of the Ohio River Valley’s entire progressive community.

Reporting to the Executive Director, the Senior Communications Strategist will focus on the following bodies of work:

Research-driven communications strategy development

Identify needs and opportunities and develop empirically-driven strategies and tactics that reframe the public debate around jobs, the economy, and the environment, with a focus on quality of work and quality of life for working class Appalachians. This includes creating multi-faceted impact communications strategies to educate and engage residents, allies, decision-makers, and other key audiences and amplify the evidence-based research being produced by ORVI researchers.

Opinion research and message development

Develop original opinion research (such as public opinion polling and focus group message testing) and identify the best available communications research found in academic studies, distilling it into easily understandable messages to share with ORVI staff and allies. Publish results in accessible forms, such as toolkits, talking points, or messaging guidance documents that showcase tested ways to communicate about complex topics. Analyze and write about public opinion research, voter attitudes, and issue campaigns that help audiences make sense of policy developments, especially those related to ORVI’s core program areas. Support ORVI’s inter-organizational communications network, supplying allied regional organizations with public opinion research and data, unified narrative guidance, educational opportunities and skills development, and additional comms capacity.

Content creation

Coordinate with ORVI’s research and communications teams to identify needs and proactively conceptualize, script, direct, and produce content that provides our allies with a reserve of empirical knowledge about public opinion and what shifts it. Assertively engage the media to correct and improve coverage that uses unhelpful framing, inaccurate statements about public opinion or outdated narratives about the region. Lead responses to breaking news events with both proactive and reactive tactics to advance ORVI’s narrative.

Ideal Candidate Qualifications
Alongside sharing our mission to building a more prosperous, sustainable, and equitable Appalachia, we seek candidates with the following qualifications, expertise, and approach:

An Unconventional Communications Strategist: A seasoned communications strategist who brings experience approaching communications and message development as a field for rigorous study and improvement, rather than relying on intuition or “best practice”. We seek someone who has taken unconventional approaches to shifting long-term sector-wide narrative goals for a region or community. Prior experience and content knowledge in climate, clean energy, sustainable economic development, labor, public policy, and/or the fossil fuel industries is desirable, as is experience in analytics, measurement, and evidence-based evaluation of communications campaigns.

A Persuasive Relationship Builder: An outstanding written and oral communicator that demonstrates an ability to translate complex data and research into persuasive narratives across different types of media and audiences, including those that do not already share ORVI’s beliefs. Experience bridging divides and collaborating with a wide range of diverse constituencies, including experience working across lines of race, class, gender, and geography.

A Curious, Self-Directed, and Entrepreneurial Professional: A teammate who desires continuous learning, who asks questions and self-corrects, and is able to prioritize projects effectively. We seek someone who demonstrates resourcefulness, meets deadlines, and responds flexibly to changing work priorities.

Current or past lived and/or work experience in the Ohio River Valley region, especially with the regional media landscape, is a plus.

Compensation and Benefits
This is a full-time salaried remote position, requiring a willingness to work some evenings and weekends and does include occasional travel throughout the Ohio River Valley region as well as the country. The annual salary range is between $85,000 - $100,000 depending on qualifications and experience.

Through our program host, the Community Foundation for the Alleghenies, the Institute offers generous benefits including health, vision, and dental care coverage as well as paid holidays and vacation time and a match toward your 401K retirement plan.

Equity-Based Hiring
The Ohio River Valley Institute, a program of the Community Foundation for the Alleghenies, is an equal employment opportunity employer. People of color, queer and trans people, and women are strongly encouraged to apply. We believe that a diverse workforce and inclusive workplace culture enhance our ability to fulfill our mission. Employment and promotional opportunities are based upon individual capabilities and qualifications without regard to race, color, religion, gender identity or expression, pregnancy, sexual orientation, age, national origin, marital status, citizenship, disability, veteran status, or any other protected characteristic as established under law.

How to Apply
Online applications only, please no email or paper submissions. You will be asked to upload a cover letter and resume.

In your cover letter, please describe as specifically as you can:

Your interest in and connection to the goals, mission, and vision of ORVI

How your experience aligns with the job responsibilities and ideal qualifications described in this announcement.

Applications received by April 23, 2024 will be given full consideration; early applications are strongly encouraged! All applications will be acknowledged via an email receipt.
