Organizing Strategist

Who We Are

At Murmuration, we believe that America’s promise is shaped and reshaped by the best ideas and ideals of its communities, and the dreams of the people who believe in a better life for themselves, their families, and each other. 

We help organizations build power in their communities in four key ways: we organize a network of values-aligned partners; we provide deep, data-driven insights into people, places, and perspectives; we develop tools that make organizing and engagement easy and more effective; and we offer services that strengthen our partners’ capacity to lead change in their communities.

We envision an America where every community has what it needs to help people lead healthy, free, and dignified lives. We work to redesign the systems and structures we all depend on — how we learn, live, govern, and solve problems — so that they are just, equitable, resilient, and rooted in shared responsibility. By strengthening the ties that hold communities together, we aim for civic life defined by collective action and care, with effective leadership that truly represents everyone. 

We are a collaborative, curious, and creative team of organizers, scientists, teachers, technologists, campaign veterans, and more who share the unwavering belief that we can use our gifts in service of transforming America — together. We’ve built our team guided by the belief that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. And so we support each other relentlessly — rallying together to face challenges the same way we celebrate each other’s wins.

About the Position

Murmuration is seeking an Organizing Strategist to join our Campaigns Team. Reporting to the Senior Organizing Strategy Director, this role works directly with partner organizations to help them plan and run effective campaigns. It is a role for someone who has spent several years in organizing and/or civic engagement work and is ready to bring that experience to a network of values-aligned organizations across the country.

Day to day, the Organizing Strategist will work closely with the Campaigns Team and assigned partner organizations to support voter participation and advocacy campaigns. That means managing partner relationships, delivering trainings, helping partners get the most out of organizing systems and data tools, and making sure the research and field intelligence we generate actually shapes how campaigns run. The right candidate is a practitioner at heart who also knows how to step back, think strategically, and help partners strengthen their infrastructure over time.

Success in this role is defined by partner success. The Organizing Strategist is someone who finds genuine satisfaction in building others' capacity, shares credit freely, and understands that when our partners win, we win.
