Advocacy Campaigns Coordinator

The Organization

Responsive Gov helps policymakers find solutions that make government more efficient, accessible, and responsive to the needs of real human beings.

We start with the mechanics of democracy: our key focus areas include practical pro-voter policies like Automatic Voter Registration and voter-centric election administration, structural reforms like proportional representation and state court reform, as well as efforts to modernize how state legislatures work.

Then we work to make democracy meet its promises. Government should provide customer service and material benefits at every touchpoint — from health benefits, to taxes, to the DMV. If we choose to come together with our neighbors to make up a democracy, that government must deliver well enough to make us choose participation.

Building on a decade of success working in partnership with state political leaders from both parties, lawmakers, NGOs, and academic leaders, Responsive Gov is a hub for policy and technical experts, organizers, and government officials working together to craft pragmatic, human-centered policies designed to make government more responsive to all of us.

The Advocacy Campaigns Coordinator plays a critical role in supporting a fast-moving, multi-state campaigns team. This role helps ensure advocacy work, internal requests, grants and contracts, progress reporting, and compliance-related reviews run smoothly and consistently.
