Working closely with the Director of Programs and Administrative Research Manager, this position will help scale our organizing footprint in rural Ohio. The ideal candidate is an adaptable, community-centered organizer with strong interpersonal skills, a commitment to deep canvassing values, and the ability to thrive in rural communities.

Administrative & Coalition Support (20%)
  • Provide logistical support, including scheduling, materials preparation, onboarding volunteers, and meeting follow-up.
  • Work collaboratively with statewide coalition partners when appropriate.
  • Represent OCAEF at in-person and virtual coalition meetings

Qualifications
  • Experience in managing campaigns
  • Familiarity with CallHub, VAN, and Google Sheets is highly valued; willingness to learn is required.

  • Commitment to deep canvassing principles: non-judgment, listening, curiosity, and meaningful conversation.
  • Comfort and confidence engaging residents in rural communities.
  • Ability to analyze data, track progress, and manage multiple information streams.
  • Ability to work independently as well as collaboratively within a campaign team.
  • Willingness to work flexible hours, including evenings and weekends.
