Manager or Senior Manager of Partner Programs & Operations at Priorities USA coordinating partner relationships and operational tasks. Ensuring seamless execution of programs and support for senior leaders across multiple initiatives.
Responsibilities:
- Manage the day-to-day operations of Priorities' active partner relationships on behalf of the Director — tracking touchpoints, scheduling check-ins, drafting follow-up communications, and ensuring nothing falls through the cracks across the portfolio
- Build and maintain briefing documents, relationship trackers, and partner profiles that keep the Director and CIO fully prepared for every external meeting
- Serve as a responsive point of contact for partners on operational and logistical matters, escalating strategically to the Director when senior-level engagement is needed
- Support the Director in preparing for and following up on coordination tables and coalition meetings — including note-taking, tracking commitments, and drafting action item summaries
- Help manage the onboarding of new partners into Priorities' ecosystem, ensuring a smooth handoff from initial outreach through active engagement
- Own the logistics and execution of Priorities' recurring briefing series — managing the content calendar, coordinating across product, research, and paid media teams, handling invitations and attendee tracking, and ensuring a consistent, high-quality cadence
- Lead outreach and recruitment for multi-audience training tracks, leveraging partner relationships and Priorities' network to drive participation across funder, organizer, and opposition researcher audiences
- Manage training logistics end-to-end, including scheduling, materials coordination, participant communications, and post-session follow-up
- Track attendance, engagement, and feedback across training and briefing programs, synthesizing insights for the Director and CIO to inform curriculum and program development
- Maintain Priorities' ecosystem tracker — monitoring the progressive digital landscape, tracking key organizations, and flagging emerging opportunities or gaps for the Director and CIO
- Conduct background research on partner organizations, prospective clients, candidate camps, and political validators to support external meetings and outreach sequencing
- Build the prep materials, talking points, and one-pagers the Director and CIO need to show up fully informed in every external conversation
- Synthesize partner and field intelligence into regular internal updates for Priorities leadership, helping translate ground-level insights into actionable recommendations
- Manage the tools and products business development pipeline — tracking prospect status, maintaining CRM records, coordinating follow-up, and ensuring relationships move through the process efficiently
- Draft pitch materials, capability one-pagers, and partner-facing collateral in coordination with the Director and product leads
- Coordinate handoffs from initial partner conversations to product and revenue leads, ensuring a seamless transition and consistent partner experience
- Relay partner feedback from the pipeline to the product team, helping close the loop between business development and product development
- Serve as the connective tissue between the Director and internal teams — including Flock, digital, research, and communications — ensuring follow-through on commitments made in external meetings
- Track cross-functional action items and deadlines, proactively flagging risks and keeping relevant stakeholders informed
- Support the Director in preparing for internal leadership meetings, including agenda development, materials prep, and follow-up documentation
Requirements:
- 3-4 years for the Manager role, 5–7 years of experience for the Senior Manager role, in political organizing, partnership coordination, campaign operations, digital communications, or a related field
- Strong organizational and project management skills, with a track record of managing multiple workstreams simultaneously without dropping the ball
- Politically fluent and deeply familiar with the progressive ecosystem — comfortable navigating coalition spaces, understanding table dynamics, and recognizing the key players at the state and national level
- Excellent written communication skills — able to draft clean briefing docs, sharp follow-up emails, and crisp one-pagers with minimal direction
- A natural collaborator who works well across teams and knows when to escalate vs. when to just handle it
- Detail-oriented and proactive, with a bias toward action and a low tolerance for things falling through the cracks
- Familiarity with digital advertising, audience research tools, or data products is a plus
- Commitment to Priorities USA's mission and values, including equity, inclusion, and ethical political engagement.
Benefits:
- 100% of medical, dental, and vision insurance premium covered for the employee and 75% for dependents
- 401K retirement plan with up to 4% employer match
