Since 2008, we’ve been employing the principles of collective impact, building the capacity of partners with data analysis and shared resources, and strengthening our democracy by amplifying the voices of marginalized communities.
State Voices sustains a dynamic ecosystem of 24 state tables and organizations in every state, comprising over 1,200 partner organizations. We provide the organizations in our network with the data, tools, and support they need to help create a healthy and thriving democracy through a racial equity lens. We advance this work through three national programs: Civic Engagement (voter education, registration and turnout, issue advocacy, and constituency engagement), Civic Access (voting rights and election administration), and Civic Representation (census and redistricting).
It’s our collective duty to end the systemic, relentless disenfranchisement targeting Black, Indigenous, Latinx, AAPI, and all communities of color, young adults, LGBTQ people, women, low-income, and all oppressed people. That’s why State Voices works year-round to create a more accessible, inclusive, and representative democracy.
The Chief of Staff at State Voices is a multifaceted role, combining the functions of an advisor, strategist, coordinator, and supporter of our core values and culture. This pivotal position supports our leadership, including the President and CEO, in making strategic decisions, executing plans, and effectively using resources. The Chief of Staff plays a key role in keeping our projects on track, ensuring clear communication across different departments, and upholding our commitment to our mission and values.
We’re looking for a dynamic leader with a knack for problem-solving, strategic thinking, and building strong relationships. The ideal candidate has a background in non-profit management, with a track record of advising senior leaders and facilitating teamwork across various groups. This role demands the ability to influence without direct authority, remain calm under pressure, juggle multiple priorities, and work effectively with both our team members and external partners. If you’re a driven individual who thrives in collaborative environments and is passionate about making a difference, this role offers a unique opportunity to contribute to our organization’s success and impact.
