About the Role
Build and support a nationwide volunteer program for Humans in Control.
As Distributed Organizing Manager, you will help turn online interest into real-world action. You will recruit volunteers, run onboarding and trainings, develop volunteer leaders, support remote teams, and create simple systems that help people take action in their own communities.
The first priority for this role is to build a repeatable volunteer pathway: someone signs up, gets contacted, understands the issue, takes a first action, comes back for a second action, and has a clear path to greater responsibility.
This role is a good fit for someone who can build trust with people who do not all share the same politics. We are especially interested in candidates who are comfortable working with parents, veterans, faith communities, rural communities, workers, small-business owners, conservatives, independents, Democrats, Republicans, and politically mixed groups.
About Us
Humans in Control is a nonpartisan grassroots organization working to keep people — not a handful of AI companies — in charge of our future.
We bring together parents, workers, veterans, neighbors, and community leaders from across the political spectrum around a basic principle: powerful technology should remain under human control.
Responsibilities
Recruit, onboard, and support volunteers across the United States
Build clear pathways for people to move from first action to regular involvement to volunteer leadership
Train volunteers to lead calls, meetings, outreach, local events, and other actions
Identify and coach strong volunteer leaders
Create toolkits, scripts, training materials, event guides, and action guides that volunteers can use on their own
Help design remote and locally led actions tied to campaign priorities
Maintain volunteer tracking and follow-up systems; help keep CRM data accurate
Track what is working, identify where people are dropping off, and improve volunteer systems over time
Serve as a steady point of contact for volunteers, helping them stay engaged, clear on next steps, and effective
Coordinate with the state organizing team to ensure distributed volunteer activity is aligned with priority-state work where relevant
What We Are Looking For
2+ years of experience in organizing, civic engagement, public advocacy, campaigns, community outreach, faith-based outreach, veterans outreach, or similar work
Experience recruiting, training, or managing volunteers
Strong relational skills and good judgment with people from different political, cultural, religious, and geographic backgrounds
Ability to explain public issues in plain language without relying on partisan talking points
Ability to communicate clearly, follow through reliably, and manage details
Comfort using basic organizing tools, such as CRMs, spreadsheets, email and texting tools, video calls, and online event platforms
Ability to work independently in a remote environment
Serious interest in the public risks posed by advanced AI and the importance of keeping human beings in control of powerful systems
Ideal Candidates Bring
Experience building volunteer teams or leadership programs
Experience with remote, distributed, or online-to-offline organizing
Experience working in conservative, rural, faith-based, veterans, parent, working-class, or politically mixed communities
Experience helping volunteers take action quickly after they first express interest
Experience creating scripts, trainings, toolkits, or action guides
Experience in a small, fast-moving organization or campaign environment
