Voting Rights Lab, a national nonpartisan 501(c)(3), and its 501(c)(4) affiliate are fighting the state-level battles that will shape elections in 2026, 2028, and for decades to come. In 2025 alone, we stopped a wave of proof-of-citizenship mandates in red and purple states from Texas to Michigan, and produced the first-ever map of election law vulnerabilities — showing where losing candidates can exploit state laws to challenge legitimate results.

Grounded in deep state-level relationships and cross-ideological credibility, we anticipate threats and deliver solutions where democracy is most at risk.

The Coalition Director serves as the primary relationship manager and strategic coordinator for a transformational multi-organization coalition focused on countering disinformation, building cross-partisan support for policy initiatives, and creating a broader, more resilient pro-democracy movement. This role manages coalition operations, mobilizes member organizations, drives recruitment and engagement, and helps shape the coalition’s external narrative and impact in order to hone and develop stronger cross-ideological organizing models for the broader pro-democracy movement.

The ideal candidate is a skilled coalition-builder and relationship manager who can work effectively with executives and partner organizations to bring grassroots programs to scale and grow the breadth and depth of participation and impact. This role requires strong facilitation, communication, grassroots organizing, and program management capabilities, as well as experience in building partnerships and coalition infrastructure to drive collective action.

The Advancing Liberty Coalition is the heart of what makes Voting Rights Lab unusual in the democracy space. It brings together organizations that don't typically share a table: center-right democracy organizations, veterans and military families, Mormon and evangelical women's organizations, disability advocates, and business leaders. The coalition operates on the conviction that defending democratic institutions requires a big tent — and that credibility across ideological lines is a strategic asset, not a compromise.

Candidates who are energized by cross-ideological work and comfortable engaging authentically with partners across the political spectrum will thrive here. This is not optional — it is central to the role.

We offer a collaborative and innovative work environment, competitive compensation, and opportunities for professional advancement.

Voting Rights Lab is a fully remote organization, and this position can be based anywhere in the United States. This position will require occasional travel, representing about 15% of the time.
