• Work with various City agencies, including the Rent Board, Department of Building Inspection, and Department of Public Health.
• Help run legislative campaigns that support the goals of tenant associations.

• Demonstrated experience in the California tenant movement and/or other social movements (such as Labor)
• Ability to work independently, navigate obstacles, discern priorities, and meet competing deadlines.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Familiarity with Google Workspace, Canva, Zoom, and common CRM platforms.
• Ability to work evenings on a regular basis and some weekends.

This position is a salaried exempt position with a starting salary of $80,000.
