ABOUT ICONICO

Iconico LLC is a consulting firm that helps build advocacy capacity in communities. We partner with organizations to develop public engagement campaigns that vary from grassroots community organizing and mobilization, to family and community engagement with school systems. We believe that advocates should continuously improve their organizing craft, execute bolder ideas, learn new tactics to engage and mobilize supporters, and become better managers of people and campaigns.

We are currently looking for a Campaigns Coordinator with project management and at least one cycle of electoral or advocacy campaign experience. We want to find a team member whose values align with Iconico’s, who believes in the importance of grassroots and community-based political change, and who wants to work to develop leaders and empower others. We are looking for a candidate who has experience in project management, research, writing, and content development, and is able to both work independently and in collaboration with a small team. Individuals who are curious, self-aware, and driven by helping others to make a positive impact in the world will likely succeed in this role.

You’ll work closely with our current Campaigns Team, and will report to Iconico’s Managing Director.
