MoveOn.org–the preeminent people-powered progressive campaigning organization that has, time and again, deployed original technology in the service of making social change–is hiring a new CTO. Is this you?\n\nSince our founding in 1998, MoveOn.org has been at the leading edge of figuring out how to leverage technology and scale to organize and empower millions of everyday Americans to make a difference in the big fights of our time — combating economic inequality, opposing unjust wars, pushing for action on the climate crisis, and more.\nMoveOn pioneered some of the first online tactics for progressive collective action — from online petitions to distributed event organizing tools to election calling technology to one of the earliest video-sharing tools. In recent years, MoveOn incubated Upworthy.com (formerly MoveOn Media) to spread powerful and compelling progressive content, and developed MoveOn Petitions (formerly SignOn.org) to empower tens of thousands of members to run their own MoveOn-style distributed campaigns.\n\nIn the coming years, our members will wage campaigns to push back against the radical right and the corrupting influence of big money in our democracy. We’ll build independent progressive political power through the 2016 elections. And we’ll pioneer the next generation of people-powered organizing. NBD.\nWorking together with our EDs and leadership across the organization, MoveOn’s Chief Technology Officer will vision and drive technology to serve MoveOn’s 8 million members. You’ll work closely with MoveOn.org Civic Action and MoveOn.org Political Action’s terrific, small (25-30 people), and tight-knit staff.
