MAMA is hiring a bilingual (English/Spanish) West Coast Organizing Manager with a dedicated focus on multicultural community engagement. This role is one of the founding members of MAMA’s new organizing department and is central to a California-based initiative supported by the Kapor Foundation designed to build chapter infrastructure, organize BIPOC parents, and drive civic engagement in tech accountability campaigns.

This is a front-line organizing and relationship-building role. The West Coast Organizing Manager will recruit and develop Chapter Leaders, move members from passive followers to active advocates, execute campaigns, and sustain the essential community management functions that keep MAMA’s chapter network operating at full strength. The position reports to the National Organizing Director.

The ideal candidate is deeply rooted in local communities, has advocacy experience particularly in Sacramento, and brings proven experience in grassroots organizing, membership engagement, and field campaigning.

This function is essential to MAMA’s growth and capacity building for grassroots engagement, organizing and power building. The West Coast Organizing Manager will own the full Chapter Leader (CL) recruitment and onboarding pipeline for the West coast:

• Proactively recruit and screen Chapter Leader candidates in priority states and geographies, including through coalition partnerships and relationship-building with particular focus on BIPOC communities in California
• Vet incoming Chapter Leader applicants; manage acceptance, rejection, and follow-up communications in a timely and relationship-centered way
• Send and track onboarding decks, Chapter Leader agreements, and onboarding materials; follow up with new CLs to ensure completion
• Maintain up-to-date Chapter Leader lists and records in Every Action; conduct regular audits to ensure accuracy
• Develop and refine onboarding materials, CL guides, and application processes to reflect evolving organizational priorities

The West Coast Organizing Manager is the primary point of contact for MAMA’s Chapter Leaders and a key driver of member engagement:

• Respond to Chapter Leader emails and Slack messages; manage inquiries, troubleshoot challenges, and provide timely follow-up on outstanding items
• Conduct regular 1:1 check-ins (“deep dives”) with Chapter Leaders to assess engagement, surface needs, and identify opportunities for deepening involvement
• Support Chapter Leaders in designing and executing local actions, education events, and community campaigns
• Prepare chapter announcements and support newsletter content related to chapter activity and community updates
• Connect Chapter Leaders to one another and to relevant resources, training, and campaign opportunities within MAMA’s network

As the lead implementer this initiative, the West Coast Organizing Manager will:

• Build and maintain partnerships with priority multicultural California-based Latine, Black, and Indigenous organizations, such as UnidosUS California affiliates, MALDEF, Dolores Huerta Foundation, Latino Community Foundation, PICO California/Faith in Action, California Native Vote Project, and Families In Schools; and with tech policy partners like Scott Foundation and NAACP, Latine Ad-hoc committee, Tech Equity Collaborative, and others
• Facilitate culturally grounded community workshops in English and Spanish at trusted community institutions
• Adapt MAMA’s existing curriculum on social media addiction, AI chatbot risks, and algorithmic harm for Latine and BIPOC community contexts, in collaboration with community advisors
• Mobilize BIPOC parents to take direct civic action and join organized campaigns aligned with California’s tech accountability agenda
• Represent MAMA in coalition spaces, community events, and stakeholder relationships…
