As an Organizer, you will be the primary driver of program quality in your metropolitan area.

Your goal is to ensure every voter in your region's universe receives consistent, high-quality interactions with the Neighborhood Captains.

• Leverage "grasstops" and relational networks (e.g., local nonprofit leaders, former census workers, or community officials) to recruit high-quality candidates for the Neighborhood Captain role.
• Participate in the interview process and evaluate candidates through situational exercises related to canvassing and community engagement.
• Team Management & Training (20 hours/week):

• Conduct Follow-ups by contacting voters previously engaged by your team to verify contact accuracy, appropriate data entry and interaction quality.
• Monitor regional metrics including contact frequency, time per contact, and the depth of "Relational Documentation" recorded by your captains.

• Direct Voter Outreach (10 hours/week):

• Join your captains in the field to develop your own relationships with target voters in a designated turf
• Execute the full five-phase engagement sequence, moving non-voters from initial human connection to civic mobilization.

Requirements

You'd be a great fit for this role if:

• You're an organizer at heart and believe in the value of building community
• You're a people person! You enjoy working with and managing others
• You're jazzed by being a coach and mentor and are energized by watching someone you've coached step into their own power
