Content and Operations Manager

The Briones Society seeks a generalist with strong writing and operational skills motivated to help build a vibrant, solutions-oriented conservative movement in cities.

About the Briones Society

The Briones Society is a political club building a vibrant, solutions-oriented conservative movement in cities and a talent pipeline for principled conservative candidates. Founded in 2022, Briones offers a compelling value proposition:

• Conservatives and the Republican Party benefit by growing their influence in diverse, urban communities while reaffirming a commitment to republican values like respect for the rule of law.
• Cities benefit from improved governance — yielding better schools, cleaner streets, and safer neighborhoods — when conservative ideas are advanced and conservative voters are mobilized.
• Centrists of all parties benefit as conservatives help defeat far-left ideologues and push Democratic Party politics toward pragmatism.

In just three years, Briones has grown from an idea to a formidable force in San Francisco politics, reaching 18,000 voters with its weekly Briones Digest, publishing a monthly podcast, attracting hundreds of people to its events, and winning control of the local GOP.
