Job description
POSITION SUMMARY
The Senior Grassroots Organizer will strengthen HIAS' state and local advocacy capacity by building and mobilizing grassroots support for immigrants, asylum seekers, refugees, and other forcibly displaced people in the United States. Working within the Community Engagement team and in close partnership with Advocacy and Communications colleagues, the role will manage a portfolio of 3-4 priority states and advance campaigns that align with HIAS' national policy priorities and local/state advocacy opportunities.
The role will be responsible for developing state-specific organizing strategies, cultivating Jewish, multi-faith, immigrant-rights, and cross-sector partnerships, and increasing community participation in advocacy efforts related to immigration enforcement, detention, and the protection of immigrant rights. Success will be measured by the strength and growth of partner networks, the quality and execution of state-level campaign strategies, and the role's contribution to policy, legislative, and community power-building outcomes. Core to this work is a commitment to strengthen existing collaborations and building them anew in selected states and communities, ensuring that HIAS adds distinct value.
This is a grant-funded position with an anticipated end date of September 30, 2028, and the possibility of a one-year extension contingent upon funding availability and organizational need.
Note, this position is based at our headquarters in Silver Spring, Maryland or our office in New York, New York, and we will consider a remote option for applicants who live outside of commuting distance to either of our offices and are based in other states in which we are registered (California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas, Virginia).
The salary range for this position is $80,000-90,000.00.
The states being considered for this portfolio include California, Florida, Illinois, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Texas.
BROAD-BASED OUTCOMES
The Senior Grassroots Organizer will be accountable for building measurable grassroots advocacy capacity in a defined portfolio of states. Success in the role will be demonstrated through stronger Jewish, multi-faith, immigrant-rights, and cross-sector coalitions; increased partner participation in local and state advocacy campaigns; and progress toward policy or legislative outcomes that advance the rights and protection of immigrants, asylum seekers, refugees, and other forcibly displaced people.
Over time, the role is expected to help strengthen HIAS' state and local advocacy infrastructure by identifying priority policy opportunities, developing aligned campaign strategies, mobilizing community partners, and ensuring that HIAS' grassroots engagement efforts are connected to national policy and advocacy priorities.
