Position Summary:
Doctors Council SEIU seeks an experienced organizing campaign professional to serve as Temporary Organizing Campaign Coordinator – San Francisco , providing strategic leadership and operational oversight for a defined organizing initiative in the San Francisco Bay Area.

This is a senior, project-based position responsible for developing and implementing an overall campaign strategy, supervising assigned Lead Organizers, coordinating organizational resources, evaluating campaign performance, and ensuring the successful execution of campaign objectives.

Unlike a traditional Organizer position, which concentrates on direct member recruitment, workplace relationship-building, and organizing committee development, the Temporary Organizing Campaign Coordinator will focus primarily on the management, supervision, strategic direction, and accountability of the campaign and its assigned personnel.

The position requires significant independent judgment, demonstrated leadership ability, and experience directing complex organizing initiatives involving professional employees.

Primary Responsibilities:

1. Campaign Strategy and Direction
   • Develop a comprehensive organizing campaign plan, including strategic objectives, timelines, staffing requirements, resource allocations, and measurable performance benchmarks.
   • Evaluate the campaign environment, including employer structures, workplace dynamics, institutional relationships, and potential organizing challenges.
   • Establish campaign priorities and recommend strategic adjustments based on changing circumstances.
   • Direct the implementation of approved campaign strategies across assigned organizing teams.
   • Provide regular strategic assessments and recommendations to Doctors Council executive leadership.
2. Supervision and Personnel Management
   • Provide direct supervision and oversight of Lead Organizers and other personnel assigned to the campaign.
   • Establish individual and team assignments, work priorities, schedules, reporting expectations, and performance objectives.
   • Evaluate staff performance and the effectiveness of campaign activities.
   • Conduct regular supervisory meetings, provide professional guidance, and establish corrective performance expectations when appropriate.
   • Exercise delegated authority, consistent with Doctors Council policies, to approve schedules and assignments and make personnel recommendations concerning hiring, reassignment, promotion, discipline, and retention.
   • Where expressly delegated, exercise independent judgment in making personnel decisions rather than merely relaying directions from executive leadership.
   • Ensure that assigned personnel comply with organizational policies, reporting requirements, and professional standards.
3. Campaign Operations and Resource Management
   • Oversee daily campaign operations through assigned Lead Organizers.
   • Coordinate staffing, logistical support, travel, communications, and campaign resources.
   • Develop and monitor campaign operating plans and proposed budgets, subject to executive approval.
   • Establish systems for evaluating campaign progress, staff productivity, and operational effectiveness.
   • Identify obstacles to campaign implementation and develop appropriate corrective strategies.
   • Coordinate with national leadership and other departments to ensure organizational resources are deployed effectively.
4. Strategic Relationships and External Coordination
   • Represent Doctors Council in designated strategic discussions with healthcare professionals, organizational partners, community leaders, and other stakeholders.
   • Coordinate political, legal, research, communications, and community-relations support for the campaign.
   • Develop relationships with institutional and community partners relevant to campaign objectives.
   • Ensure that external communications and strategic initiatives remain consistent with Doctors Council policies and leadership directives.
5. Campaign Evaluation and Executive Reporting
   • Establish measurable campaign objectives and systems for evaluating progress.
   • Review reports prepared by Lead Organizers and assess the effectiveness of assigned organizing activities.
   • Prepare written campaign assessments, operational updates, and strategic recommendations for executive leadership.
   • Identify staffing or resource deficiencies and recommend appropriate organizational responses.
   • Prepare a final campaign evaluation, including outcomes, outstanding issues, recommendations, and transition materials at the conclusion of the temporary assignment.
