Executive Vice President for Communications

Executive Vice President For Communications

Over the last five years, attacks on our democracy have intensified. Deliberate barriers to voting, intimidation of election workers, and the erosion of public confidence in our elections have become central tactics in a sustained attempt to seize and hold onto power. In the face of these relentless attacks, All Voting is Local and its affiliate organization, All Voting is Local Action, are leaders in the nonpartisan fight to protect our democracy by expanding access to the ballot at the state and local level.

We seek a dynamic and insightful leader to guide our internal and external communications strategy as we strive to meet this moment and fulfill our mission.

The Executive Vice President for Communications is passionate about expanding voting rights and deeply understands how the words we choose, the audiences we reach, and the campaigns we amplify all contribute to that goal. This role will shape and scale short- and long-term communications strategies that advance All Voting's and All Voting is Local Action's vision for an inclusive, accessible democracy. Leading the full spectrum of the organizations' communications work, the EVP is responsible for setting the strategic direction for messaging and content, stewarding the brand, and providing leadership across the organization and the broader voting rights ecosystem. While not required to reside in the Washington DC area, this role is preferably based in the Washington DC area with periodic in office time.

About You

The ideal candidate thrives in a fast-paced, campaign-like environment, having the experience to know when to stay the course and when to pivot. You are a big thinker and big doer. You're a seasoned people leader who can coach, motivate, and support a high-performing, distributed team. You lead through relationships, are energized by working across lines of difference, and are a flexible and steady leader when under pressure. You are equally effective on a zoom screen, a TV screen, in a coalition meeting, or a team meeting. You are open to travel because the heart of All Voting's work is in the states.
