Responsibilities

To kick ass at this job you need to be smart, have great ideas, and be a bit pushy (in the nicest way possible). You will take on pre-existing campaigns (Green Your School for environment, and Pics for Pets for animal welfare) as well as brainstorm new experiences. You will be working on multiple campaigns at the same time, so attention to detail is huge. 

Expertise

Research the cause spaces fully. You’ll be steeped in research papers, conversations with professors, and ideally some field work, too. 

Understand how our audience is motivated to action around the cause. As in: how will you get teens to take the action you’re suggesting?

Network within the field, so that our campaigns are supported by the smartest and most bad-ass experts around.

Represent DoSomething.org in conferences and interviews as our environmental and animal welfare expert.

Ideation 

Come up with creative, fun, and impactful campaign ideas.

Brainstorm additional ways our audience can take action on this cause, outside of campaigns. 

Project Management

Manage the entire process of the campaign – from ideation to execution to finish.

Create and maintain a detailed timeline and plan for the campaign.

Work with multiple departments to ensure all internal and external partners stay on time and on plan. 

Help to improve internal processes to create the most efficient process possible. 

Be very organized. So important, it gets its own bullet point. 

Additional

Provide support to team members on campaigns outside of your cause space. 

Requirements

We’re looking for someone with 2 – 4 years of experience working on either  environmental issues or animal welfare issues – either professional or specific educational experience (it was your major) work . Experience in both is not necessary, but you will be running campaigns in each space. 

Project Coordination Experience. You have run projects that involved managing multiple teams on a deadline. 

Passion. We’re a hard-working, dedicated team, and are looking for someone who wants to make a difference.

A large amount of this job is working with other teams to ensure that they stay on deadline. Being comfortable with following up with people is essential – as is doing it in a nice way.

Attention to detail is a must. 

Bonus points for anyone who sings this in their interview.
