  • Represent UTEC at statewide meetings, convenings, and national conferences.

Leadership & Internal Collaboration

  • Convene weekly meetings with regular stakeholders for organizing and advocacy alignment.
  • Lead UTEC’s federal legislative efforts.

Required Skills & Competencies
  • Deep commitment to UTEC’s mission, values, and culture.
  • Strong commitment to equity, inclusion, and social justice.
  • Campaign management experience a plus; MA political familiarity a plus.
  • Strategic and relational thinker with strong facilitation skills.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication.
  • Exceptional project-management skills, reliability, and follow-through.
  • Strong supervisory and team leadership skills.
  • Flexibility and comfort navigating ambiguity.
  • Humility, willingness to acknowledge mistakes, and a sense of humor.

Education & Experience
  • Bachelor’s degree required; Master’s preferred.
  • At least five years of experience in advocacy, policy, legislative, or related fields.
  • Strong passion for elevating youth voice and advancing justice for young adults.
  • Experience in campaign management a plus
