ABOUT USCPR

The US Campaign for Palestinian Rights (USCPR) is part of a global movement in solidarity with the Palestinian people. We are a national network of activists and organizations who are committed to freedom, justice, and equality for the Palestinian people and who work to end U.S. complicity in their oppression.

We work on seeding and supporting local organizing and advocacy campaigns with a cross-movement and abolitionist lens, connecting local campaigns to internationalist Palestinian demands and visions for freedom, while also engaging in policy change at the federal level.

ABOUT THE ROLE

The Organizing Director is responsible for driving the programmatic strategy of the organization according to its mission, values, and strategic plan, and executing annual objectives with the program team. The Director will support organizing staff, organizing coaches (contractors), organizing fellows, and volunteer organizers to develop deeper organizing skills while holding day-to-day team management.

The Director of Organizing reports directly to the Managing Director and works hand-in-hand with the Director of Communications, Director of Development, Political Director, and Director of Organizational Resilience to ensure cohesive and integrated campaigns. You will represent USCPR in public-facing coalitions and events, holding relationships with key Palestine and cross-movement partners.

We are looking for an experienced organizer with a background in movement capacity building, including building the leadership of youth and BIPOC organizers, sustaining coalitions, and leading campaigns focused on transformative change. The ideal candidate will expand support for Palestinian rights among a broad array of progressive allies from Black, brown, indigenous, immigrant, disability rights, and other movements.

JOB RESPONSIBILITIES

Overarching Responsibilities:

• Supervise and support our three-member organizing team, bringing a strategic eye to how communications and development fit together with organizing and advocacy.

• Oversee the progress of the departmental work plan, budget, campaign plans, and individual staff plans.
• Establish standardized mechanisms for management, tracking, and assessment of campaigns across departments.
• Oversee the planning of the programmatic aspects of USCPR convenings and conferences.
• Lead 1–2 campaign areas with support from the organizing team.
• Engage in public speaking, writing, and media, lifting up the work of USCPR.
• Build stronger organizers within the organization, staff, coaches, and fellows.
• Lead annual personnel evaluations and own the hiring process for the program department.
