Organizing Director

Lift Every Voice Philly (LEV) is Philadelphia’s only base-building organization solely focused on systems change in the School District of Philadelphia. We are a Black parent-led, multiracial organization seeking our next Organizing Director.

After four years of organizing and winning campaigns that secured daily recess, citywide student wellness protections, and major progress on the school nurse vacancy crisis, we are ready for our next chapter.

The Organizing Director will lead four core areas of work: supervising and developing our organizing team, driving campaign strategy and execution, codifying and strengthening our member leadership development program, and building the external relationships and political positioning that expand LEV’s power. They will serve as a full member of the leadership team with broad authority to build our base and lead winning campaigns.

The work is grounded in LEV’s theory of change and the three strategies that have always driven our organization: growing parent leadership, unity, and voice.

We’re looking for an experienced Organizing Director with a proven track record of building a base, developing leaders, and winning campaigns. You’re equally comfortable setting strategy and executing the day-to-day work that makes campaigns successful. You know how to coach organizers, earn trust with members, and build relationships that expand an organization’s power. You thrive in fast-moving environments, hold yourself and others to a high standard, and believe that Black and Brown parents have the power to transform public education when they are organized, united, and equipped to lead.

Compensation and Benefits
This is a full-time position with a salary of $110,000-$135,000 based on experience, plus benefits. The role is hybrid (with in-person days at LEV’s office at 3675 Market Street in Philadelphia).

We believe in fair pay, rest, and working in ways that honor people’s full lives.

Benefits:

• Relocation bonus provided with a two-year commitment to the role
• Health, dental, and vision insurance
• Annual wellness grant to support your health and well-being
• Generous professional development stipend
• Paid time off, including organization-wide breaks in July and December
• Student loan and child care reimbursement programs
• Employer-sponsored retirement plan
