Role Description
The Digital Organizer splits their time between two complementary sets of responsibilities:
As a member of the Organizing Team, you will help develop the organizing priorities of the organization, lead the planning and execution of organizing tactics, develop communications materials and training for volunteers, and maintain databases and digital tools to keep this all on track. You will be the primary support person for our experienced Vancouver-based volunteers – initially this will be entirely online, and as the pandemic recovery progresses, this may bridge into in-person meetings and events late in the year, if it is safe to do so.
The Digital Organizer will coordinate Leadnow’s Community Petition program (you.leadnow.ca), supporting Leadnow members across the country in drafting impactful petitions and work with the Digital Campaigns team to send related emails to our members, as well as identifying member-led petitions suitable for escalation.
