Background

The Women’s Refugee Commission (WRC) works to improve the lives and defend the rights of refugee and internally displaced women, children, and young people. As a research and advocacy organization, WRC is dedicated to securing systemic changes in policy and practice that ensure uprooted women, children and young people can fully exercise their rights to protection, services, and self-sufficiency.

Migrant Rights and Justice Program

Migrant, stateless, and refugee women and children around the world routinely face legal and human rights violations. WRC’s Migrant Rights and Justice Program holds governments accountable to their obligation to respect women and children’s rights, so they can find safety, access justice, and rebuild their lives.

Our rights and justice work includes issues of asylum, access to protection, immigration detention, family separation, and unaccompanied children’s rights.

Scope of Work

The Women’s Refugee Commission’s Migrant Rights and Justice Program is hiring an asylum campaign manager to develop and manage a campaign to restore and establish humane, fair, and accessible access to asylum in the United States.

The campaign manager is responsible for developing, managing, and implementing a campaign and advocacy effort to counter years of attacks on the asylum system, and to restore and defend the rights of those seeking protection at US borders and along the migrant route, advocate for the restoration of asylum rights in the United States, and create a more just, humane, and dignified approach to asylum. The campaign aims to mobilize targeted public allies and organizations, and, ultimately, policymakers.

The asylum campaign manager will work closely with WRC staff, including the communications department and the Migrant Rights and Justice program, and will coordinate closely with allied organizations to build and implement a strong coalition campaign that leverages partners’ strengths and magnifies our collective efforts.

This includes:

coordinating WRC’s leadership on the campaign to ensure strong collaboration and partnership engagement;
developing a campaign structure and coordinating roles for steering committee membership and partnerships with allies;
working closely with the campaign communications coordinator on campaign communications efforts;
working with partners to develop campaign strategy and activities;
coordinating and leading campaign implementation with partners; and
working with WRC leadership and partners to engage with funders in support of securing continued funding for the campaign.

The ideal candidate will be a seasoned campaigner, an exceptional manager, and a collaborative leader. The candidate must possess a nuanced understanding of complex political landscapes (preferably with an understanding of the immigration landscape in particular), and be able to manage inter-organizational relationships.
