Digital Director

Remote New York, NY

Moms First is a national, nonprofit organization transforming our workplaces, our government, and our culture to enable moms in America to thrive. We were founded by Girls Who Code founder and activist Reshma Saujani in the height of the COVID-19 pandemic as millions of women were pushed out of the labor force, erasing 30 years of progress overnight. The pandemic exposed what we’ve always known to be true: while other countries have social safety nets, America runs on the unseen, unpaid labor of its moms.

Today, Moms First is one of the leading organizations dedicated to advancing women’s economic freedom, uplifting the vital work of moms in our society and building the power to win the public and private sector investments we need and deserve, including affordable child care, paid family leave, and equal pay. To achieve these goals our work focuses on three programmatic initiatives:

National Business Coalition for Child Care: Only in America do we view child care as a personal problem. Through our National Business Coalition for Child Care (NBCC), we engage private sector leaders to raise awareness of child care as a business issue and expand child care benefits to more American workers.

Culture: We believe policy change and culture change go hand in hand. Our thought leadership and creative campaigns shine a spotlight on the issues impacting moms in our society and shift mindsets around the value of investing in policies and supports moms need and deserve.

Moms First Community: Our impact is powered by a bipartisan grassroots army of moms across the country empowered to fight for change in our homes, workplaces and communities. We are committed to rapidly expanding the size and power of this community in the coming year under the leadership of an incoming Digital Director.
