HR Manager - HR Knowledge

Overview

American Promise is building a movement to win passage of a federal constitutional amendment to allow Congress or the states to reasonably regulate and limit campaign contributions. Our national campaign is focused on “reducing money in politics” – now a top issue for almost all Americans, regardless of party or political preference. We empower people in all 50 states to connect, learn, act and lead efforts to mobilize their districts, states, and networks.

Our team is passionate, collaborative, courageous, adaptable, and fun. We love setting big goals and learning lessons on the way to achieving them. We celebrate our differences and work to ensure that our staff, donors, volunteers, and supporters reflect the tremendous diversity of the American people as we strive together on the most American of national projects: amending the US Constitution. Come make history with us!

The HR Manager will be responsible for helping to attract, develop and retain our growing staff. We are poised to scale rapidly and are looking for a professional to help build our team and the people-related infrastructure to support dramatic growth. This role requires a hands-on project management and execution, (“no task too small”) approach, as well as the ability to create longer-term systems and processes. We want AP to be a great place to work, where people are challenged to do their best, and where everyone can contribute toward our ambitious mission.
