About the role

SEIU Local 521 is seeking an Internal Organizer to work with members across clerical, blue‐collar, professional and service workers in the Peninsula Area. The role involves recruiting, training, developing stewards, and leading worksite campaigns on contract issues, safety, and budget concerns. You will write and edit leaflets, participate in negotiations, and monitor grievances while ensuring timely action under union bylaws.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
