Job Description
Organise is striving to build a team that reflects the diversity of our community and is truly inclusive. We welcome applications from under-represented groups, particularly people of colour, trans and non-binary people, new parents, and disabled people.
đ« Who we are
Organise is a fast-growing startup on a mission to give everyone the tools, network and confidence to improve their life at work. Our vision is for a world in which decent, fairly paid work is available and accessible to all, and where all of us are treated with dignity and respect at work.
More than 1 million people are already using Organise. We put power in peopleâs hands, building a progressive force for change inside companies.
The Organise staff team pride ourselves on nimble, focused workplace campaigns. That means our team is decisive, ambitious, and happy to take risks. Weâre characterised by our energy and enthusiasm; weâd rather aim high and see what happens than play it safe. Weâre passionate about putting Organise members first â we believe change at work happens when more people get involved.
We're expanding our team and building out our platform to include a peer-to-peer network. We're building a space for people to build power and support each other at work pseudonymously. The Organise network is paid for and protected by the workers. We currently operate in the UK and are aiming to launch in the US in 2022.

đ What youâll be doing
As a Digital Campaigner, youâll be using your campaigning expertise and skills to support Organise members from across the world to run and win campaigns for better rights and conditions at work.

Organise is a worker-driven network - this means our job as a staff team is to support, empower and upskill our members to become campaigners and organisers themselves.

You'll need to communicate and collaborate with people across the whole organisation to imagine, design, and iterate new digital campaigning tools swiftly enough to support our members in a fast-moving workersâ rights landscape. This will include:

Coming up with & implementing ways to continually improve our digital tools and resources to deliver more power & better value for Organise members.
Developing & running experiments to improve campaigns success: testing out coaching communications (eg. SMS, calls & emails), and creating resources (how-to guides, Q&As, case studies) to give campaign starters the knowledge & motivation to build and win their campaigns.
A data-driven focus on improving campaign results - including how many people use our platform to organise workplace campaigns, how many people successfully win their Organise campaigns, how many of our members actively support other Organise membersâ campaigns at work, etc.
Contributing to team strategic planning, particularly to help develop our network product that will help connect Organise members worldwide, and empower them to communicate with each other, exchange valuable information & support one anotherâs workplace campaigns.
