About Caring Across Generations:

Caring Across Generations is a national campaign working to make care more affordable and accessible at every stage of life, while ensuring caregivers – both family caregivers and professional care workers – people with disabilities, and aging adults are treated with respect and dignity.

Founded in 2011 by Sarita Gupta and Ai-jen Poo (who were the executive directors of Jobs with Justice and the National Domestic Workers Alliance, respectively), we take an explicitly intersectional approach to our work, connecting the dots between the urgent need to build a strong care infrastructure and the need for bold action on immigration reform, gender, racial, economic and disability justice, and addressing the growing needs of our aging population.

Our campaign is focused on creating change in three ways:

Organizing a powerful movement of the Caring Majority – the majority of Americans who are directly affected by the need for care;
Fighting for groundbreaking policy at the state and federal levels;
Changing hearts and minds through storytelling and culture change campaigns to evolve the way our society relates to and values caregiving.

Our culture change work in 2022 included collaborating with the hit NBC series This Is Us on a multiplatform impact campaign, initiating a series of TikTok care influencer activations, leading the development and production of a groundbreaking commercial advertisement, billboard campaigns in Times Sq and Washington, D.C., and the launch of dedicated work within the entertainment industry, including an ongoing series of screenwriter salons to discuss how Hollywood can help rewrite the popular narrative on care.

Position Summary

Caring Across Generations is seeking a creative, strategic, organized, and self-motivated person to join our Culture Change team. To be a fit for this role you will have a passion for pop culture and a strong belief in the power of stories and other cultural products to change how people feel, think, and behave in the world. You have the interest and inclination to act as an interpreter between the communities we represent and culture creators, from artists to writers to influencers and more. You are excited to connect the dots between gender, racial, economic, and disability justice, and the growing need for care. And you’re a versatile multi-tasker who enjoys creative brainstorming as much as a strategic one, and can switch from project management to writing to networking in the course of a day!

The Culture Change Manager will work on a wide range of projects as part of the Culture Change team. Primarily, this role involves supporting our Associate Director on all aspects of Caring Across’ work with the entertainment industry, including content review and consultation, planning and executing industry-facing events, and the development and execution of impact campaigns and partnerships across TV, film, and documentaries. The Culture Change Manager will help the organization maintain relationships and communication with celebrity teams and content creators in our growing community. They will also support some of our newer partnerships and collaborations, like those we are exploring with brands, caregiving apps, and others in the ‘Fam-Tech’ space. The role will also involve collaborating closely with the rest of the culture change team, as well as the digital, communications, and campaigns teams.

Support the Associate Director of Culture Change and the digital team in the implementation of small and large-scale digital campaigns around strategic tv, film, and other pop culture products and moments that help make caregiving and caregivers more visible and valued.

Project manage and help organize salons, panels, and other events designed to gather and engage strategic audiences within the entertainment industry.
In collaboration with the Communications & Culture Change Assistant, maintain a comprehensive database of contacts and relationships with organizational partners, cultural strategists, artists, creatives, influencers, and others from the entertainment industry.

With leadership from the Associate Director and, at times, the Chief of Narrative & Culture Change, explore and manage strategic partnerships and campaign opportunities with brands, apps, and others outside of the entertainment industry who have growing cultural influence and might have a stake in the issue of care.
