About the Position

Transgender Law Center's National Organizer will build power with trans communities across the country by developing leadership, strengthening local and state organizing efforts, and advancing campaigns rooted in racial, gender, and HIV justice. We are seeking a skilled and self-motivated organizer to design and facilitate trainings, convenings, and cohorts that use popular education techniques to build political analysis and grow community leadership.

This person will identify emerging issues, support base-building, campaign, and narrative change work, and translate research and needs assessments into strategies that resource and amplify local organizing.

Working across a national network of staff, community leaders, and partners, this person must be able to build authentic relationships while navigating the distinct needs and contexts of different regions and communities. This role requires strong communication skills, including facilitation and writing, sound judgment in issue identification and campaign development, and the project management skills to keep multiple trainings, partnerships, and deliverables moving forward.

The ideal candidate is a true organizer at heart, with the instincts to build relationships, read a room, and move people toward shared action. They are flexible and adaptable as priorities shift, follow through on commitments, and jump in to support teammates with coverage as emerging issues arise. Most importantly, they have a deep commitment to advancing racial, gender, and HIV justice through the collective power of BIPOC trans and disabled communities.
