WHO YOU ARE:

You Believe In BYP100’s Mission – building a member-based organization of Black 18-35 year old activists and organizers dedicated to creating justice and freedom for all Black people.
You Center a Black Queer Feminist Lens. You recognize that oppressions are interconnected, center the leadership and wisdom of those most marginalized, and work to redistribute power, embed collective care, and transform systems toward freedom, dignity, and joy.
You Are An Organizer & Political Strategist. You bring deep experience in Black-led organizing, building campaigns that center Black voices, develop leaders, and grow collective power across the country. You read power, systems, and relationships to make values-driven decisions in shifting political landscapes.
You Guide Teams Through Change. You guide teams through moments of transition and crisis with clarity, transparency, care, and conviction. You name what’s shifting, create space for processing, and help people move forward with purpose. With strong project management skills, you translate big-picture strategy into clear plans, milestones, and accountabilities, ensuring that teams stay aligned and progress steadily through change.
You Are Deeply Invested in Political Education. You are committed to your own ongoing political learning and growth, and you bring that same commitment to the development of others. You design and lead educational programs that equip organizers with the skills, analysis, and tools they need to expand their impact, deepen their leadership, and advance BYP100’s mission.
You Bring Conflict Resolution Expertise. You approach conflict with humility and care, creating space for honest dialogue and collective accountability. You apply a transformative justice lens to repair harm and build trust, helping staff, members, and boards move through conflict in ways that strengthen relationships and shared purpose.
You Manage, Coach, & Empower Leaders. You empower, activate, and support the individuals you manage using an asset-based framework. You listen actively and make others feel seen and heard, fostering authentic, collaborative relationships within a small remote team.
You Have Strong Written and Oral Communication Skills. You communicate with clarity and humility across diverse audiences, from members and staff to boards, funders, and external partners. You are able to adapt your message to different contexts, ensuring people feel informed, connected, and inspired to act.
You Are a Systems Thinker and Knowledge Steward. You design and codify organizational systems (i.e., for nonprofits) that make knowledge accessible and sustainable — not dependent on any one person. You document institutional memory, clarify workflows, and build processes that support long-term staff learning and development.
