Equis is a set of organizations working to create a better understanding of Latinos, innovate new approaches to reach and engage them, and invest in the leadership and infrastructure for long-term change and increased engagement. Since 2019, we have served as a hub of Latino polling, qualitative insights, and data, with analysis based on a large set of interviews, focus groups, online journals, ethnographies, and vote simulations. Equis is a leader in digital innovation, focused on message testing and experiments, anti-disinformation tracking, and digital capacity-building for grassroots groups. Equis is also committed to developing Latino leaders across the progressive space, serving as a convener of organizations and individuals leading Hispanic-focused programs. In 2022, Equis launched Moonshots, a set of bold, ambitious initiatives to massively increase Latino power, influence, and belonging in the US. The scope of our work is purposefully broad and designed to engage Latinos in multiple arenas because we believe that this moment requires a complete rethinking of how we engage Latinos. Our approach is to work collaboratively with partners and allies, lead with learning and research, and build programs that address the deep-rooted issues that prevent our community from participating in becoming influential and powerful.
Equis is seeking an experienced and knowledgeable Director of Moonshots of Culture and Media adept at managing staff and projects across initiatives, with a strong commitment to excellent project management and operational excellence. The ideal candidate is an experienced strategist bringing clarity and inspiration as a leader in our moonshot culture and media portfolio.
