Job description

Movement Labs is an incubator and consulting firm that uses technology, data, and experimentation to stop fascism and build progressive power. We help progressives win and defeat MAGA extremists through year-round work grounded in research and real-world testing. Our team develops innovative tactics, wins elections, and shifts power for the long term.
As the R&D powerhouse for the progressive movement, we've run over 100 randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on voter behavior and helped hundreds of organizations increase their impact. We work hard, and the environment evolves rapidly. We are adaptable, nimble, and shift quickly as needed to meet the moment. We are looking for candidates who thrive in this type of environment.
About the role
We're looking for a Development Associate or Senior Development Associate to join our Development team through the current election cycle, with the possibility of extension. This is a hands-on, detail-oriented support role: you'll help keep our fundraising operation running by handling the spreadsheet work, data entry, prospect research, list pulls, and grant report drafting that our fundraisers and systems depend on. You'll also help operate some of the automated workflows the team is building - for example, triggering automations that generate briefings for the right people ahead of donor conversations.
This is a temporary hire for the 2026 election cycle that will run from ASAP to November 13, 2026, with the possibility of extension based on need and performance.
This role is fully remote.

    • Ensure that grant agreements and reporting timelines are tracked and executed.
    • Pull lists from the CRM and edit as needed to support outreach, major donor briefings for Principals, and reporting needs.
  • Grants & Prospect Research
    • Draft grant reports by compiling program updates, impact data, and other required information for submission to funders.
    • Support Principal call time by researching prospects and preparing briefing materials in coordination with call time managers.
    • Conduct ad hoc prospect research as directed.
  • Project Management, Reporting and Automation Workflow Support
    • Manage projects to improve the effectiveness of the team and ensure routine processes happen regularly and with quality
    • Run established automations that support the team's daily work (e.g., identifying top prospects for upgrades from current donors, generating donor briefing materials ahead of donor calls, etc.)
    • Produce and interpret reports to understand the effectiveness of fundraising tactics

Qualifications
Our preferred candidate will have many of these characteristics and experience:
  • Strong attention to detail, especially with written communications, data entry, and spreadsheet work.
  • Prior experience in a fundraising, development, or grants environment. 1+ year for Associate or 3+ years for Senior Associate
  • Comfort working in a CRM (EveryAction or similar) or a demonstrated ability to learn unfamiliar software quickly and enthusiastically. 1+ year for Associate or 2+ years for Senior Associate
  • Comfort using AI tools like Claude, ChatGPT, or similar for day-to-day tasks.
  • Strong organizational skills, the ability to juggle multiple ad hoc requests from different people on the team, and the ability to manage projects, including influencing stakeholders laterally and upward.
  • Interest in progressive politics, advocacy, or electoral work.

Our preferred candidate may have some of these characteristics and experience:
  • Experience with prospect research or list-building tools.
  • Understanding the differences between 501(c)(3), 501(c)(4), and PAC funding.

Benefits
  • Annual salary of $60,000-$70,000 (Associate, Level 1) or $70,000-80,000 (Senior Associate, Level 2), a $5,000 end of cycle bonus, and a worklife stipend of $700/month pre-tax dollars to support employees during our highest intensity work period (starting August 1, prorated for partial months).
  • Excellent health, dental, and vision benefits, 401(k) matching
  • Remote-first culture with teammates across the country
