National Senior Organizer

Food & Water Watch is looking for a remote Senior Organizer to join our Organizing team and help support our Food & Water Volunteer Network. The Senior Organizer will work closely with volunteers and other staff at Food & Water Watch on campaigns to protect our food, water, and climate. This position is primarily remote. However, the employee may be required to occasionally report to the office for meetings, trainings, or other business needs at the employer’s discretion.

Food & Water Watch is working to create a healthy future for all people and generations to come - a world where everyone has food they can trust, clean drinking water and a livable climate. Making this happen requires involving people in the pressing issues of our time at the local, state, and federal level, building on one win after another, as we develop a larger movement that has the political power to make our democratic process work.

The National Senior Organizer will develop volunteer leaders and teams around our priority campaigns, including stopping the buildout of AI data centers. The Senior Organizer will report to the Volunteer Network Director and will work with other national organizing staff, regional field staff, and policy/research staff to build the Food & Water Volunteer Network. The Senior Organizer will plan and implement efforts to recruit and onboard new volunteers as well as engage volunteers in national, state and local campaigns.

The Senior Organizer will also support members of the organizing team in developing volunteer teams by creating resources and national volunteer opportunities. This is a full-time regular position.

$55,700-$87,100/annually dependent upon experience and location.
