WHO WE ARE:

ActBlue builds and maintains a powerful online fundraising platform for Democratic campaigns, progressive organizations, and nonprofits working to create a better future. We put power in the hands of small-dollar donors by making it easier for grassroots supporters to make their voices heard and by helping thousands of groups — from presidential candidates to environmental organizations —  build people-powered movements.

We’re a nonprofit organization, and our team has a big impact on the future of our country. Each and every one of us, from the political activists to the tech innovators to the customer service pros, is fully committed to our mission. We're excited to grow this team and get ready to take on even bigger challenges as we look toward the 2020 election and beyond.

WHAT YOU WILL DO:

The Executive Assistant (a brand new role) will support ActBlue’s Chief Impact Officer (CIO), enabling her to prioritize areas of impact that support the growth of ActBlue’s programming and the small-dollar donor movement.  This role will report directly to the CIO and will utilize a unique skill set to help keep the priorities of programmatic departments moving forward, primarily through scheduling and administrative support to the CIO as well as creating systems across departments to align benchmarks and other interdepartmental coordinations with the CIO. 

WHAT YOU WILL DO:

Calendaring & Administrative Support

• Manage the CIO’s daily and weekly calendar, including but not limited to: scheduling internal recurring outreach team meetings and one-on-one meetings
• Develop a department calendar to help the CIO ensure deadlines are being met and considered into strategy and work plans
• Build and maintain a program calendar with deadlines for various teams
• Proactively manage the CIO’s monthly and quarterly calendars so they are synced to the organization’s broader strategic priorities
• Prep the CIO for weekly commitments and meetings, and ensure she has relevant materials, IT-enabled equipment and logistics support 

Meeting Support (Internal & External) 

• Drive and own operational and technical logistics for department meetings including team meetings, off-site meetings, and external events and meetings 
• Help prepare the CIO for upcoming meetings and events by assisting with presentations, talking points and other necessary materials
• Plan and book the CIO’s work-related domestic travel arrangements, managing costs and expense reimbursement actions
• Perform other administrative projects and specific duties as requested

WHAT YOU BRING:

• 0-2 years working in a professional environment
• Experience working within a fast-paced environment and/or with a senior leadership coordinator role
• Self-starter mentality: capable of working independently, but motivated by watching your work contribute to ActBlue’s goals and mission 
• Problem-solver approach: can identify problems and figure out the best solution to work through them with limited guidance
• Clear and compassionate written and verbal communications skill set
• Strong organizational skills, with keen attention to detail and high fidelity to follow up & follow through actions
• Ability to handle confidential information
• Electoral experience, including volunteer or internships, is preferred
