Center for Workers’ Rights


Organizing Director

Based in Sacramento, CA

The Center for Workers’ Rights (CWR) seeks a bilingual (English/Spanish) Organizing Director to join our team. This is an in-person position located in Sacramento, CA and regional travel is required. 

About the Organization
Founded in 2014, the Center for Workers’ Rights works to build a community where workers are treated with dignity and respect. We provide legal representation to low-wage workers, advocate for stronger workers’ rights, and promote education, activism, and leadership in the Sacramento region.

The Role 
The Organizing Director is a senior leadership position that will oversee organizers, campaign strategy, leadership development, organizing systems, and program evaluation while working closely with the Executive Director to build an organization capable of winning workplace improvements, advancing policy change, and strengthening worker leadership throughout Northern California. The Organizing Director serves as both an internal leader and an external movement representative, ensuring CWR remains deeply connected to statewide worker justice efforts while translating those into stronger organizing opportunities for workers in our region.

Key Responsibilities

  • Create plans, tools and systems that support organizers and member leaders in moving workers from participants to leaders
  • Build training curricula and educational materials for workers and staff
  • Plan and facilitate membership meetings

Supervision and Leadership

  • Complete reports and attend meetings for grant compliance
  • Align organizing with legal services, policy, communications, and development
  • Contribute to organizational planning, fundraising, and strategic decision-making
  • Train and coach staff in developing strong organizing skills, strategic thinking and political analysis

External Relationship Management

  • Represent CWR in local, statewide, national, and coalitions and organizing networks
  • Grow and maintain strategic partnerships with labor unions, worker centers, community organizations, advocacy groups and public agencies that expand opportunities for worker organizing, policy advocacy and collective action
  • Pursue opportunities for collaborative organizing strategies, campaigns and policy across the workers' rights movement

Qualifications
Required

  • Bilingual proficiency in English and Spanish 
  • Minimum of 5 years of labor, worker center, or community organizing experience
  • Minimum of 3 years leading staff or teams 
  • Demonstrated success in contributing to planning strategic and comprehensive organizing campaigns

  • Experience training organizers and developing worker leaders
  • Excellent facilitation, communication and relationship-building skills
  • Commitment to racial, economic and worker justice
  • Willingness to work early mornings, late nights and weekends
  • Valid driver's license and a reliable vehicle, driving is an essential part of the position
  • Travel throughout the Northern California region is necessary - worker leaders can live up to 100 miles away from Sacramento 

Preferred

  • Experience working in worker centers or workers’ rights organizations
  • Background in anti-wage theft enforcement or remedies
  • Knowledge of California employment law standards and workers’ rights enforcement
  • Proficiency in integrating organizing with legal, policy, or advocacy work
  • Familiarity with organizing databases and campaign management systems
