Rank the Vote (RTV-US) is a national, non-partisan, 501c3 grassroots organization founded by veteran activists who built the largest statewide movement for RCV in the nation. Our mission is to help local activists in every state build volunteer organizations that successfully develop the massive capacity needed to advance RCV in the public arena, eventually leading to a cascade of state-by-state legal enactments of RCV.

Voter Choice Massachusetts (VCMA) is a non-partisan, politically diverse, non-profit organization dedicated to educating the Massachusetts public about Ranked Choice Voting. RTV-US and VCMA seek a Campaign Manager to launch an 18-month education and advocacy project to bring Ranked Choice Voting to Boston city elections. Our primary objective is the passage of a home rule petition by the Boston City Council in 2024 that enacts RCV for all elected city offices, including the mayor, district, and at-large city councilor, and any elected school committee seats that may be added in the future.

The Campaign Manager will report to the RTV-US Executive Director, Nathan Lockwood, and will also take input and direction from VCMA Policy Director, Greg Dennis.

A successful candidate in this role would be positioned as a top choice for a leadership position advancing the referendum ballot campaign and ongoing RCV movements in Massachusetts.
