Campaign Manager

• Develop campaign strategy and turn it into time-bound work plans with named owners. 
• Track political and policy developments in real time, and adapt tactics as the picture changes.
• Drive the project management of live campaigns, so milestones are met and momentum is sustained.
• Work closely with marketing, communications, and creative to keep narrative, mobilization, and media aligned with campaign objectives.

• Build and sustain relationships with civil society organizations, scientists, Indigenous and community leaders, and advocacy coalitions.
• Represent Only One in external campaign alliances, as a collaborative and strategic partner to organizations on the frontlines of ocean advocacy.
• Coordinate activity across partner organizations, building alignment on shared goals and synchronizing moments of action.

• Guide and support the people contributing to your campaigns, including marketers, PR experts, creatives, and policy advisors.
• Manage the external consultants and contractors working on campaign delivery.
• Foster a proactive, responsive, solutions-oriented campaign culture that values speed, experimentation, and strategic risk.

• Lead the development and delivery of campaign tactics, from digital actions and public mobilization to political pressure and influencer engagement.
• Respond quickly when news breaks, an opening appears, or a threat emerges.
• Work with data and analytics to monitor performance and iterate in real time.

• 3+ years leading tactical work in a fast-paced campaigning environment. An advocacy or political context is helpful but not essential.
• A track record of managing complex, multi-stakeholder campaigns with measurable outcomes.
• Proven ability to build and sustain relationships with diverse partners and coalitions.
• Strong project management and organizational skills, with real attention to detail.
• Political judgment, and a clear sense of where power sits and how policy actually changes. Experience of ocean and climate issues is helpful but not essential.
• Experience coordinating cross-functional teams, including external consultants and remote contributors.
• Excellent written and spoken English; additional languages are an advantage.
• A deep commitment to environmental justice and to Only One’s mission.
• Willing to flex hours to work with a global team, with the potential for some required travel.

You have a bias for action. You’re at your best when the pace is fast and the stakes are high. You’d rather start, learn, and adjust than wait until the picture is complete.

You read the politics. You have a strong grasp of the landscape, and you know how to move a target and shape an outcome. You can tell the difference between activity and progress.

You work at both altitudes. You hold the long view of what a campaign is for, and you do the tactical work that delivers it. You move between them easily.

You believe in partnerships. You work well with organizations that don’t share your timelines or your incentives, and you’re generous with credit. Partners take your call because the last thing you ran together went well.

You’re organized under pressure. You run several campaigns at once without losing the detail on any of them, and the people working with you always know what they’re doing this week and why.

You thrive on teamwork. You bring humor, humility, and kindness to a fast-paced environment. You know that everyone here plays an essential role, and you treat them that way.
