MOBB United for Social Change, Inc. (MUSC) is the advocacy arm and sister organization of Moms of Black Boys United, Inc. Its goal is to influence policy at the federal, state, and local levels to ensure that Black boys and men are treated fairly and equitably. MUSC is focused on eradicating harassment, brutality, and unwarranted use of deadly force by law enforcement. We want our sons and law enforcement officers to make it home safely every night. MOBB United applies a multi-pronged approach that includes media campaigns and storytelling, education and engagement, political and economic empowerment, self-care, strategic partnerships and sustained advocacy and community involvement. MUSC works to engage our members in community organizing and advocacy social justice campaigns in order to ensure that black men and boys thrive and survive under the law. MUSC seeks a self-motivated, outgoing Project Manager to work closely with our Policy and Advocacy volunteers to provide key programmatic and logistical support for the organization’s Rapid Response and advocacy campaigns. The position participates fully as a Rapid Response team member to organize intake, research and Rapid Response case management with Rapid Response and Policy/Advocacy team members. Works with team members to address and resolve complex process challenges to scale successful findings to chapters and the broader organization as applicable. Serves as the primary contact with the Rapid Response Coordinator, provides technical assistance to chapter leaders and members working on Rapid Response campaigns, oversees project timelines by establishing routine check-ins with key stakeholders, and manages data. Duties also include conducting research, analysis, and synthesis for designing and disseminating materials and presenting findings. Qualified candidates must have: * at least a two-year degree.

Candidate will have familiarity with online collaborative document management systems (e.g. Google Documents), shared document repositories (e.g. Basecamp), database entry for evaluation systems, and be comfortable deploying technology to coordinate large groups and various subgroups on a regular basis. * Attention to detail, proficiency in oral and written communications, critical thinking and problem-solving, interpersonal, and multi-tasking skills, are also required.
