Lead Management - Development Assistant

THIS IS A FULL-TIME IN OFFICE POSITION

Company Introduction

Are you angry and frustrated by the state of American politics? Do you think Washington has gone seriously wayward? Do you believe in your heart that we’d be a lot better off if the two parties stopped fighting all the time and instead sat down and simply worked things out collaboratively? There’s only one political movement in Washington devoted to that cause—No Labels.

No Labels is run from a small office in Washington D.C by mission-driven, dynamic staff. It’s a place defined by a different energy than most political offices which are, by definition, taking cues from higher-ups. We’re small, constantly in motion, charged up, and determined to press forward against the odds. And if that sounds like a working environment that might appeal to you, we hope you’ll read on.

More about No Labels

• We are No Labels and we believe in an America where every voice counts.
• We believe excellent minds lie on the left and right of our political spectrum, and when they can respect each other’s point of view, only good things happen.
• For too long, the loudest, angriest and most extreme voices have drowned out everyone else. Our movement has the power to do something about it.
• We have spent the last decade building a nationwide network of citizens and a group of allies in the U.S. House and Senate have forged bipartisan agreements to solve some of America’s toughest challenges. But this moment calls for something much bigger.
• That is why we are working to ensure Americans have a real choice in the 2024 presidential election.
• It’s the hardest and most important thing we’ve ever done. And to succeed, we need more thinkers and doers to join our fast growing grassroots movement.
