Jobs at Run for Something

One of our values is Progressive and Diverse. At Run for Something, our most valuable asset is our staff. In order to succeed, our staff needs to be set up for success; that means co-creating a culture that is inclusive, equitable, and actively anti-racist. Run for Something focuses on recruiting and supporting diverse, progressive candidates for local office, because voices that have been traditionally excluded from decision making bodies need to lead. We believe that work begins at home. Our staff reflects a diversity of perspectives across race, gender and sexual identity, age, immigration experience, disability status, and professional and educational backgrounds. We work hard to create a culture where everyone feels supported and respected in expressing their unique point of view, and that fully leverages the skills, potential, and unique perspectives of our employees. Run for Something actively works to center underrepresented voices in our work, and to continually evolve and improve when it comes to diversity, equity, inclusion, and anti-racism. Each team member at Run for Something is expected to work on their own learning journey, to contribute to a culture of inclusion, to manage with the values of equity, and to bring a diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) lens to their own work. We know that when it comes to this work within our organization and within ourselves, there is no finish line. Our staff-led DEI Council meets monthly to advance internal and external DEI initiatives, and Council members are compensated for each term they serve. In addition, employee resource groups (ERGs) provide opportunity for connection and advocacy among staff communities at Run for Something, including employees of color, caregivers, Black employees, and white employees focused on allyship and anti-racism. We are committed to building teams that reflect the diversity of our candidate and prioritize bringing new, unique perspectives to our work. We strongly encourage applications from members of marginalized communities who have been disproportionately affected by lack of representation in elected office, including Black, Indigenous, and People of Color, women, and the LGBTQIA+ and disabled communities. We are recruiting a Chief Technology Officer and this will be our first full-time technology staff member. This person will lead the vision setting and hiring and management of core technology staff (both full-time and contractors).
