Office manager
The focus of political and field mobilization

Headquartered in Washington, D.C. (Headquarters)

Are you passionate about economic justice and social justice? Do you want to improve the lives of workers and strengthen the labor movement? If you answered “yes”! Then the AFL-CIO may be the place for you. We are the largest federation of labor unions in the United States, and our team of dynamic professionals is dedicated to growing worker power and ensuring every working person has a voice on the job. When you work for the AFL-CIO, you’re more than just an individual employee — you’re helping to lead a movement with a proud history and a bright future ahead.

As a member of the Political and Field Mobilization Department, you will join one of our dynamic teams working closely with state, district and local bodies and their affiliates in order to eliminate the power imbalance between companies and workers, systemic inequality across the board, and the hard bargain that workers have had to endure over the past few decades. The challenge for the AFL-CIO is to translate that energy into a dynamic, growing renaissance for the American labor movement.

Here, at the AFL-CIO, we believe the labor movement should be the place for good jobs and secure futures for all workers, including women, workers of color, immigrants, youth, and workers in emerging industries, and that belief starts right here within our walls.

So, if you share our officers’ vision of building a bold, dynamic and inclusive labor movement to meet the highest aspirations of every working person, join our team today!
