What are organizing managers?

Organizing managers are professionals responsible for planning, coordinating, and overseeing campaigns or initiatives, usually within non-profit, advocacy, labor, or political organizations. They recruit, train, and support volunteers or staff to achieve specific goals, such as community engagement, policy change, or membership growth. Organizing managers develop strategies, manage resources, and ensure effective communication within their teams. Their role is crucial for building collective power and advancing the mission of their organization.

What is the difference between Organizing Manager vs Event Coordinator?

AspectOrganizing ManagerEvent Coordinator

Required SkillsLeadership, project management, strategic planningCommunication, vendor management, detail-oriented
Work EnvironmentOffice-based with site visits, team managementOn-site during events, client interaction

The main difference is that an Organizing Manager oversees the broader planning and management of multiple events or projects, focusing on strategy and team coordination. An Event Coordinator handles the specific logistics and execution of individual events, ensuring details are managed on-site. Both roles require strong organizational skills, but the Organizing Manager has a higher-level, supervisory focus.

What are some common challenges an Organizing Manager faces when coordinating large-scale campaigns?

Organizing Managers often encounter challenges such as aligning diverse team members, managing tight deadlines, and adapting to rapidly changing priorities during large-scale campaigns. Balancing the needs of volunteers, stakeholders, and partner organizations requires strong communication and problem-solving skills. Additionally, tracking progress and maintaining motivation across geographically dispersed teams can be demanding, but effective use of digital tools and regular check-ins help ensure goals are met.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an Organizing Manager, and why are they important?

To thrive as an Organizing Manager, you need strong leadership, project management, and strategic planning skills, often supported by experience in advocacy, community organizing, or related fields. Familiarity with CRM platforms, digital organizing tools, and data analysis software is typically required. Outstanding communication, relationship-building, and motivational abilities help drive team engagement and foster community partnerships. These skills are crucial for effectively mobilizing people, achieving organizational goals, and sustaining impactful campaigns.

Campus Organizer, Pittsburgh

Project 26 Pennsylvania

Pittsburgh, PA • On-site

$25/hr

Full-time

Medical, PTO

Posted 3 days ago

Job description

Project 26 Pennsylvania (P26 PA) is the home for Pennsylvania students who are ready to challenge the far-right's attacks on our futures and build a Pennsylvania where Gen Z can lead and thrive.
In 2025 alone, Trump has signed over 200 Executive Orders that have directly impacted millions of Americans and led to:
  • The loss of basic human rights and the separation of families due to unjust ICE raids
  • A massive increase in the wealth of the top 1% at the expense of basic healthcare and unbiased public media funding
  • An economy where tariffs and inflation is so high millions of people are working multiple jobs and still can't pay their bills
  • Widespread feelings of hopelessness and outrage amongst young voters

The outcome of Pennsylvania's 2026 elections will determine the balance of power in the House which will influence the make-up of Congress, as some of the most competitive congressional races will happen in our backyard. Which will allow us to create a congress that can hold the President accountable to representing the people, not billionaires.
In 2026, young Pennsylvanians will have the opportunity to elect a Governor, who will be instrumental in standing up to a government that has constantly overlooked the youth. At an estimated 793,555 registered voters across the state, Gen-Z has the power to determine the outcomes of these elections-but only if we get organized now.
Since 2023, P26 has built a team of strong youth advocates for Gen-Z, and has worked to create a community for us in politics, through peer-to-peer outreach, -and we're building a scrappy and innovative team that will organize and inspire thousands of PA youth to vote in both the Primary and General Elections in 2026.
What Will You Do?
This is not a conventional organizing position. Instead of spending time in a field office making calls, a typical day will require being on campus or in the community in person talking to young people, managing teams of fellows and volunteers, and fostering relationships with campus and community networks for long-term collaboration. You will be asked to get goofy, creative, and gritty-as-hell to build a startup that empowers young people for many elections to come.
Responsibilities Include:
Youth Programming (30%)
  • Develop and execute a youth program that engages students and turns out young voters.
  • Conduct direct voter contact and list-building through dorm-storming, high-traffic canvassing, relational organizing, and more.
  • Plan and run engaging, student-centered events.
  • Identify and address barriers to student civic engagement and voter turnout.

Hiring, Training, & Managing Teams (30%)
  • Recruit, hire, and manage a team of paid fellows and volunteers to mobilize their peers.
  • Conduct training sessions to set goals, assign responsibilities, and turn enthusiasm into action.

Data Management & Entry (20%)
  • Ensure accurate collection and quality control of voter registration forms.
  • Manage daily data entry into systems such as America Votes and BLOCKS.

Build Relationships and Coalitions (20%)
  • Build relationships with student or youth leaders and organizations to collaboratively expand organizing reach.

Who Are You?
You're a strong fit if you:
  • Thrive in fast-changing environments and know how to stay focused even when circumstances feel uncertain.
  • Are excited and eager to talk with lots of students (and are especially comfortable cold-approaching strangers).
  • Are creative and scrappy, with the instinct to problem-solve in real time.
  • Have a passion for empowering young people to get involved in the political process.
  • Are a self-starter who is highly organized, manages time well, and can juggle multiple priorities without losing momentum.
  • Can work weekends and irregular hours as required.
  • Have a driver's license and access to a reliable car.
  • Live near (or are willing to relocate to) one of our focus campuses.

Previous experience organizing for an electoral campaign is a plus; previous experience with campus organizing is a bigger plus. Neither are required.
We will be hiring for this position in multiple cohorts. Students who will be graduating over the Spring and Summer of '26 are strongly encouraged to apply now!
Position Details
  • Campus Organizers will report directly to the Organizing Directors.
  • Candidates must live in or be willing to relocate to Pittsburgh.
  • Compensation & Hours: Compensation for this role is $25.00 per hour, and includes PTO, health benefits, and a technology stipend. This is a full-time role.
    • There may be points throughout the year where organizers are asked to work additional hours and/or weekends.
  • Blackout Periods: During key mobilization periods, staff will observe PTO blackout dates. Barring parental, bereavement, or another protected leave class, staff will not be able to take PTO during these times.
    • The month of August
    • 10 days before a Voter Registration Deadline
    • 10 days before a General or Primary election
  • To Apply: Please submit this short application. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis with a projected hiring date of July 15, 2026.

We are an equal opportunity employer and we strongly encourage Black, indigenous, people of color, women, members of the LGBTQIA+ community, and others who identify with underrepresented groups to apply.
