Executive Assistant to the Founder

We are seeking a highly organized and proactive Executive Assistant (who loves to laugh) to support Founder Harry Nathan Gottlieb. This is a critical role for a professional who will thrive in a fun, busy, mission-driven environment and is looking for a long-term position where they can make a palpable difference in an ambitious non-profit and the life of its Founder.

About Unify America

We’re on a mission to replace political fighting with collaborative problem-solving. Yeah, we know it sounds audacious. It is. But we’re doing it—by creating civic experiences that reduce polarization, teaching essential civic skills, and inviting Americans to use their differences to better solve common problems together.

Where we work :

• Higher Education (Civic Gym) : Over 30,000 college students have engaged in meaningful cross-partisan conversations. Think of it as training for democracy—reps, sweat, and all.
• Cities (Democracy Leagues) : We partner with communities to run Civic Assemblies, where residents—across the ideological spectrum—solve shared problems together. Our first pilot is in Akron, with Dayton and Chicago close behind.
• Thought Leadership : Our founder and CEO, Harry Nathan Gottlieb, is stirring the civic conversation with fresh ideas on social media and an upcoming book that points toward a hopeful new era of democracy.

About the Role

You will be the organizational backbone for the logistics of Harry’s life and work, allowing Harry to focus his energy on strategic priorities and high-level relationship management. The ideal candidate will enjoy not only supporting Harry, but also having exposure to, and the opportunity to work with, Unify America staff, Board Members, strategic partners and Investors (we use the term “investors” because we assume our donors are, in fact, expecting a return in the form of measurable progress toward our mission). When we hire the Sr. Director of Strategic Relations, this role will likely expand to support that individual as well, as they will be working closely with Harry to drive Investor engagement. If you love getting to know interesting people and winning their lifelong gratitude by taking care of the details so they can focus on the big picture, this role could be a great fit for you!
