About SOAR

South Asian SOAR (SOAR) is a collective of survivors, organizations, and allies building a national movement for joy, healing, and justice in the South Asian diaspora.

Leadership & Management

• Develop and manage a team of policy and research staff and consultants, overseeing team growth and happiness, setting quarterly and annual goals and work plans, and evaluating and reporting ongoing work

• Support communications staff and consultants to disseminate publications and content, aligned with advocacy strategies and goals

• Work closely with the Executive Director and Board to inform the organization’s vision and strategic direction, support fundraising, provide thought leadership, and act as a public-facing ambassador

Who you are

Your Background & Experience

• You apply an anti-oppressive, survivor-centered, and trauma-informed approach to your work, and you have experience working with survivors or in the field of gender-based and sexual violence.

• You have 7+ years of national-level experience in policy advocacy, including working with or leading coalitions, building and maintaining relationships with Congress and federal agencies, and reading and writing legislation.

• You have a demonstrated understanding of the intersections of immigration, health, housing, reproductive rights, and mental health with gender-based violence and you have a fierce commitment to racial and gender justice.

• You have experience building and managing a team of staff and consultants, moving people towards outcomes with collaboration, trust, compassion, and focus

• Ideally, you are based in or prepared to relocate to DC.

Your Qualities

• You are committed to learning and deepening your own understanding of systems of oppression through dialogue, study, and humility.

• You value uplifting others as experts and supporting others to become experts themselves, centering those most impacted as the best leaders.

• You are an empathetic translator of complex information, and you have the ability to adeptly navigate data and policy to uncover meaning and nuance.

• You earn rather than demand the trust of people through kindness, high integrity, and authenticity.

• You are unafraid to question convention, proactively suggesting creative and catalyzing opportunities for creativity.
