Chief Operating Officer

About the Role :

Over the last five years, attacks on our democracy have intensified. Deliberate barriers to voting, intimidation of election workers, and the erosion of public confidence in our elections have become central tactics in a sustained attempt to seize — and hold onto — power. In the face of these relentless attacks, All Voting is Local and its affiliate organization, All Voting is Local Action, are leaders in the nonpartisan fight to protect our democracy by expanding access to the ballot at the state and local level.

About You :

The ideal candidate thrives in a fast‑paced, campaign‑like environment, having the experience to know when to stay the course and when to pivot. You are a big thinker and big doer. You get excited about building systems and processes to support ambitious goals. You can see around corners and execute plans that manage the financial and regulatory health of our organization. You are the calm and steady leader in an increasingly fraught environment for civil society, ensuring that our mission and values are at the center of our operations. You see people as an organization’s best resource and know how to build a people operation that supports both individual and organizational development and growth—at scale. You’re a seasoned manager who can coach, motivate, and support a remote, distributed team and are energized by working across lines of difference. This job is posted with a location of Washington, D.C. but you don't need to live there : anywhere in the U.S. works, as it's a remote role with some occasional travel.

About Us :

At All Voting is Local, our north star is a democracy that brings people in, instead of one built on the notion that people should be kept out—bold by design because we aim to transform the systems that govern our democracy to include everyone. This commitment to building an inclusive, accessible, and equitable democracy drives both our long‑term vision and our day‑to‑day work.

All Voting is Local works year‑round with our partners to prevent partisan interference in our elections, advance fair and inclusive rules on voter registration, and remove barriers that make it more difficult for people to vote – particularly for Black, Brown, Native American, and other historically marginalized communities. As a multi‑state organization with a national presence and resources, we build connections between state and national advocacy groups so that local voices and perspectives inform the national conversation around voter access.

All Voting is Local’s (c)4 affiliate, All Voting is Local Action, advocates for policies and legislative priorities that expand voter access and prevent partisan interference in our elections.

All Voting is Local and All Voting is Local Action are on the ground in Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. During the 2024 cycle, All Voting programs expanded access for over 13 million voters.
