In addition, you will play a key role in stakeholder communication and external relations, supporting high-level engagement and organizational visibility. This position is ideal for a leader motivated by mission impact, collaboration, and building scalable operational excellence.

The Chief of Staff will serve as a strategic partner to executive leadership, ensuring alignment across programs, operations, and organizational priorities while strengthening execution discipline in a distributed volunteer environment.

• Support strategic planning cycles, helping translate leadership vision into actionable roadmaps and measurable outcomes
• Act as a representative of executive leadership in high-level internal and external meetings, ensuring continuity and alignment
• Coordinate cross-functional initiatives, driving project management discipline and ensuring timely execution across distributed teams
• Support external relations efforts, including partner engagement, communications preparation, and coordination of leadership-facing events
• Help strengthen organizational operations by improving evaluation, accountability systems, and performance tracking across programs

The ideal candidate brings senior leadership experience in mission-driven, operationally complex environments, with a proven ability to scale organizations, manage cross-functional teams, and drive execution in fast-paced settings.

• 3+ years of senior management or equivalent leadership experience, ideally in nonprofit, civic tech, or mission-driven organizations
• Demonstrated success in building and scaling programs, teams, or operational systems in distributed or complex environments
• Strong experience in strategic planning, OKR frameworks, and performance management systems

• Highly organized, self-directed, and comfortable operating in ambiguous or evolving environments
• Passion for civic engagement, public impact, and collaborative, volunteer-driven work

This is a volunteer-based, mission-driven opportunity designed for individuals motivated by impact rather than compensation.

• Fully remote and flexible work arrangement within the United States
• Opportunity to contribute to a high-impact civic technology initiative supporting voter engagement
• Direct collaboration with executive leadership and opportunity to influence strategic direction
• Experience working within a large, distributed volunteer organization
• Professional growth in strategic operations, leadership, and nonprofit scaling
