DRNY seeks a Voting Rights Advocate. This position will be a key member of the Protection and Advocacy for Voting Access (PAVA) program.

This position requires an individual with a passion for civil rights to work to make the state’s voting programs accessible to all qualified New Yorkers.

The Advocate is expected to report to the PAVA program initially and different programs thereafter as needed.

Keep up-to-date about voting and civil rights issues that impact people with disabilities during elections;
Engage with elected officials and candidates to raise awareness about disability issues;
Collaborate with DRNY’s Marketing Program on the development of visual and audio content;
Organize files, update existing online content and voting rights resources, and research changes in local, NYS, and Federal election systems, laws, regulations, policies, and procedures;
Participate in committees, task forces, and other organization-wide groups;
May be asked to provide multilingual client support; and
Other duties as assigned.

Requirements:

Bachelor’s degree or five+ years of advocacy experience in a professional setting;
Civil rights or disability advocacy experience;
NYS driver’s license;
Excellent communication skills, including the ability to write quality advocacy resources in plain language;
Availability to work irregular hours and occasionally work on evenings or weekends;
Ability to balance and prioritize competing priorities;
Comfortable presenting to large and small groups, virtually and in-person;
Demonstrated attention to detail and a commitment to accuracy;
Strong time management skills, including the ability to balance competing priorities;
Ability to work under deadlines and stick to project plans;
Ability to follow direction from management, follow company procedures, and be part of a team;
Comprehensive knowledge of standard virtual meeting spaces, including Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and Google meeting platforms;
Passion to further civil rights for people with disabilities;
Multilingual skills preferred;
Personal internet access; and
Must be a New York State resident; and
Work and reside in New York State consistent with DRNY’s policies.

Preferred Qualifications:

Familiarity with Federal and NYS voting laws and election administration;
Experience working at nonprofits and with people with disabilities;
Experience working with elected officials;
Portfolio of written, audio, and/or design content;
Experience in disability rights policy and/or advocacy;
Strong research navigation skills;
Experience developing accessible web-based content and resources;
Proficiency in Microsoft Office, Zoom, Adobe Pro, Adobe Suite, and/or Dropbox;
Master’s degree in relevant field of study.

Working Conditions:

An Advocate in the PAVA Program usually performs work remotely and will be required to report occasionally to a DRNY office or travel to non-standard workplaces. The Advocate will be expected to travel inside NYS and occasionally travel outside the state as necessary.

The annualized salary range for Advocate PAVA is between $52,000 and $80,000.

DRNY offers a comprehensive benefits package to full-time employees. This includes employer-paid premiums for health, dental, vision, life, and disability insurance. Full-time employees also receive generous paid time off benefits and are eligible for our SEP IRA and 403 (b) retirement plans.
