Chief of Staff, Contest Every Race

About Contest Every Race (CER) Contest Every Race is on a mission to make Democrats competitive everywhere. We do that by building durable political power from the ground up. We are the leading candidate recruitment program and largest long-term organizing program for Democrats in the country. We’ve had half of every local party committee apply to join our program, and have recruited more than 15,000 candidates to run against uncontested Republicans. Most of all, we support local Democratic Parties with funding and infrastructure so they can show up and work in their communities year-round. The Role The Chief of Staff is a senior, mission-critical organizational integrator and strategic partner for the Executive Director of Contest Every Race. The Chief of Staff will own CER's operating cadence (quarterly planning, retreats, all-hands meetings, and performance reviews). They will draft, revise, and ship proposals, track organizational priorities and deadlines across teams in systems like Asana. They will ensure that key decisions and updates are documented and flow in both directions, keeping leadership informed and pushing relevant information down to Directors and junior staff alike. Approximately 60% of this role is focused on information management, organizational rhythm and planning and the other 40% on supporting the Executive Director with development. This is a coordination role, not a supervisory one: success looks like information and deadlines moving smoothly
