Organizing Manager

Organizing Managers support program and people management within SURJ’s National Organizing Department (NOD). Each NOD Organizing Manager holds some amount of responsibility for staff supervision, project management, intra-departmental coordination, and cross-departmental coordination. At the same time, each Manager has unique realms of work that will depend on who they are supervising in any given year, and what programs they are managing at any given time. Managers are expected to be “generalists” who can both execute on their own unique workplans and also share in the collective management load for NOD-wide program work and team health. A successful person in this role will understand their own shared interest in leading campaigns to organize white people; be willing to work in a collaborative, hyper-interdependent team; and be willing to try new things, learn from experiments, and strive for growth over perfection. This position will report to the Director of the National Organizing Department.
