We’re hiring!
Current Openings
Firelands organizes with working families in rural counties in Western Washington State. Our member-driven campaigns have won statewide advances in healthcare, fair taxes, green jobs, and tenant protections. We train members and partners with innovative popular political education in Spanish and English, and we run nationally-recognized narrative strategy. Our skilled and powerful team of organizers have come up through our base and lead the heart of our work with energy and rigor. Join our team and help shape the answers to these questions:
How do we embrace the challenges and opportunities of this moment, especially in rural communities – to protect our people, widen our base, and pick smart fights – while shifting power to win over the long term?
How do we build irresistible, welcoming organizations where rural working-class leaders – immigrants and locally-born – can form bonds of solidarity across race and language to organize together for what we all need and deserve?
How can organizing be a joyful calling where organizers and volunteers bring wise, creative, strategic leadership, with a culture of sustainability and resilience?
The Director of Organizing will develop Firelands’ organizing team’s skills, and lead vision, strategy and design to grow our multiracial, multicultural base and develop leaders. This role brings together the skills of developing people and teams, vision and strategy, systems and program management, and social-emotional-cultural leadership. The Director of Organizing will work deeply with our bilingual team of six Organizers, directly supervising 3-4 Organizers, and will collaborate with other staff. The Director of Organizing will participate in co-learning spaces with other rural groups across the US, including the national Peoples Action Organizing Directors cohort, and will have opportunities to attend conferences and receive coaching and professional development. The Director of Organizing reports to our Executive Director, working together with them and other teams to strengthen our organizing program and lead a growing, vibrant organization advancing multiracial worker power.
We are receiving applications on a rolling basis. The priority deadline is April 27, 2025. Our goal is to make an offer by end of June 2025.
