Change.org is hiring a full-time editor for its popular Women's Rights cause, the place for coverage of everything from reproductive rights, to students mobilizing to prevent sexual assault, to grassroots campaigns to end wage discrimination. If it impacts the lives of women and issues surrounding their rights, we want to cover it — and mobilize people to act on it. If you have excellent writing and editing skills and are excited about using them to create social change, we want to hear from you.
The Women's Rights editor will:
* Continue to shape the overall mission and editorial voice of the Women's Rights cause;
* Recruit new writers and manage, mentor and edit a team of freelance writers;
* Write daily blog posts providing opportunities for social change;
* Oversee a social media and community building strategy;
* Work with non-profit groups, news outlets and similarly-minded blogs to achieve campaign victories;
* Produce the best cause related content on the web, focused on driving action on local stories that make a difference in communities nationwide.
Regardless of experience, we are looking for a passionate, hard-working, organized and detail-oriented person who has excellent interpersonal skills and wants to be part of a fast-moving and ambitious progressive organization. Fluency with the topic and connections in the field are major pluses.
Compensation and benefits are competitive. The position will be held in Washington, D.C. or New York City, though applicants living in or willing to relocate to the D.C. area will be given priority.
