WHO WE ARE

Peace is Loud was founded in 2013 by Abigail E. Disney. Born out of work on her first film, Pray the Devil Back to Hell, its mission was to expand visibility and capacity for women social justice leaders around the world. You can read more about our origins in a blog post here. 

Today, Peace is Loud is a 501c3 non-profit that drives people-powered change by using storytelling and documentary film to build grassroots organizing power. Through our Film Impact Campaigns and Speakers Bureau, we use stories to connect people with tools for action, and strengthen the influence of women-identified and gender-expansive storytellers. 

We’re a small, hardworking, hands-on team that draws our success from strong communication skills, teamwork, transparency, and a passion for our mission. 

By recognizing and embodying the values of solidarity, intersectional feminism, equity, adaptability and transparency, we aim to uphold and work towards a culture of peace, love and justice, both within our workplace and through our work extending to the outside world.

THE POSITION 

Peace is Loud is entering a key moment of growth, and we are hiring a Film Campaigns Program Lead to build and evaluate our documentary film impact campaigns.

The successful candidate will design campaigns that use films as tools to build power for social justice organizers, as well as effectively measure campaign outcomes.

They will also advocate for and support film protagonists, prioritizing their care while helping filmmakers navigate ethical and logistical considerations.

While we hope to find a candidate who has the experience listed below, we don’t expect any candidate to be an expert in every area listed. You might be an impact producer who prioritizes movement building, or an organizer who’s enthusiastic about film’s power to advance social change. Ultimately, we are looking for someone who can harness the power of film to help social justice movements grow their power. If that sounds like you, please apply!

About you: 

  • A skilled strategist, you can design film impact campaigns rooted in effective organizing principles and determine how to best measure their success.
  • Your experience demonstrates a clear passion for social, racial, and economic justice, and a deep understanding of how power is built and wielded.
  • You’re also a great people manager, preferring mentorship and coaching, proactive communication and collaboration over micro-managing. 
  • A skilled communicator and active listener, you recognize that relationships are at the heart of organizing work, and can tailor communications to a wide variety of audiences and connect with people from a variety of backgrounds and life experiences.
  • You have the willingness and ability to incorporate considerations of ethics, equity, accessibility, and Peace is Loud’s organizational values, into all aspects of your work.
  • Comfortable with the flexibility of remote work, you’ve mastered the art of being self-directed, engaged, and responsive to a team you haven’t met in person.
  • You have excellent organization and process-oriented skills, including facility with Microsoft Office Suite, Google Docs, CRMs, and project management tools.
  • You see the value in investing in organizational infrastructure, and enjoy building systems and processes to propel your work.
  • Ideally you will have experience in the documentary film impact space or as a social justice organizer; a background in both is a bonus.
  • You have a minimum of 7 years’ relevant experience, including experience managing an individual or team.

A college degree is not required to apply; we welcome both traditional and non-traditional experience.
