About the Working Families Party
The
Working Families Party (WFP) is the progressive party for the multiracial working class, fighting for a nation that works for the many, not the few. We recruit, train, and support transformational candidates up and down the ballot — and run them to win.
We believe that no matter where we come from or what our color, most of us want the same things. We want to earn enough to thrive, not just survive, and leave a better future for our kids. We want healthy food and clean water, safe neighborhoods and a safe world. We want to be free.
The Working Families Party is regular people coming together across our differences to make a better future for us all. We’re a multiracial party that fights for workers over bosses and people over the powerful. We want an America which realizes the promise – unrealized in our history – of freedom and equality for all.
WFP seeks a communications professional to tell our story in New England, including Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine. As the New England Communications Director, you will play a pivotal role in crafting and executing strategic communication plans that amplify the visions of the Working Families Party and its sister advocacy organization Working Families Power. You will use your expertise in media relations, messaging, and storytelling to shape public narratives, build relationships with key stakeholders, and mobilize grassroots support for Working Families policies and candidates.
Applicants should be exceptional writers, have experience with media relations and strategy, and have a proactive, can-do attitude and strong organizational skills.
Experience with New England media is strongly preferred.
