Position Summary

314 Action is the nation’s largest organization dedicated to electing Democratic scientists and STEM leaders who will champion facts, fight extremism, and deliver progressive change—at every level of government from the U.S. Senate to local school boards.

314 Action Fund is seeking a Digital Fundraising Manager to help scale our grassroots digital program as we head into the most consequential elections in modern history. This mid-career role is ideal for someone with 4–6 years of experience supporting or managing grassroots digital fundraising programs at a campaign, agency, or political/advocacy organization. Familiarity with CRMs like ActionKit is a plus.

The Manager will work closely with the Digital Director to execute strategy while owning day-to-day deliverables like drafting and producing emails, leading reporting and analysis, and coordinating with vendors and internal teams. This role requires strong copywriting, technical skills, and the ability to manage projects independently. High performance positions the Manager for advancement into a Senior Manager role as the program grows.

About 314 Action

314 Action is the nation’s leading organization dedicated to recruiting, training, and electing scientists, doctors, engineers, and other STEM professionals to public office. Since 2016, we’ve helped elect over 400 pro-science candidates—from U.S. Senators and Members of Congress to state legislators and local officials—supported by a grassroots network of more than 500,000 donors and six million science-aligned activists.

We believe evidence and facts should guide public policy. STEM leaders who are problem solvers bring critical expertise to some of the biggest challenges of our time—from climate change and public health to technological innovation and misinformation. Our work combines hands-on candidate training, strategic advising, and innovative fundraising strategies to help these leaders launch and win competitive races.

314 Action has raised over $60 million to support STEM candidates, helping elect three U.S. Senators, more than 15 Members of Congress, and hundreds of down-ballot officials. In 2024, we elected seven new STEM Members of Congress, including three of the six House seats flipped by Democrats nationwide.

In 2025, we launched Guardians of Public Health, a $25 million initiative to elect 100 doctors and public health experts to state legislatures and higher offices by 2030—ensuring science has a seat at the policymaking table.
