We are seeking a Director for the Delivering on Equity Collective (DOE). The Collective is anchored by the Massachusetts Budget & Policy Center (MassBudget), Massachusetts Communities Action Network (MCAN), and the Massachusetts Voter Table (MVT) and has 25 member organizations across Massachusetts.
The Collective was formed to build an intersectional movement for justice in communities that the Commonwealth has long neglected. It brings together the collective assets of community organizations from across the state (civic engagement, faith-based organizing, research, communications, and resource development). The fate of our families, communities, and livelihoods is intertwined with the state budget through tax equity, housing, public education, public transit, employment, entrepreneurship, and more. Therefore, DOE will organize BIPOC and working-class communities to advance economic and racial equity through state budget advocacy.
This position is a multi-year grant-funded position. The Director will be a MassBudget employee and will also have dotted lines of supervision to leaders of the DOE anchor organizations. This position will require the employee to become a registered lobbyist in the state of Massachusetts as soon as possible after hiring. Due to the relationship-building nature of this position, preference will be given to candidates who reside in Massachusetts.
