The Nevada League of Conservation Voters is hiring Regional Field Directors in Reno and Las Vegas to manage and direct the offices, and the Field Organizers who will staff and lead those offices. This is an excellent opportunity for those pursuing a career in politics, issue advocacy, lobbying, grassroots communications and development, or community organizing.
We need experienced Regional Field Directors and Field Organizers to execute a volunteer-based issue advocacy and organizing campaign to mobilize NVLCV members, galvanize and elevate public support for environmental, public health and clean energy issues, and generate earned media coverage.
RFDs will manage and train Field Organizers in the program as they engage LCV & NVLCV members as volunteers and activists in grassroots lobbying activities. Issue focuses will be on building support for reducing carbon emissions, encouraging Executive Action to clean up coal-fired power plants and raising awareness about the need to address Climate Change.
Successful RFD candidates should have at least two years of community, issue, Labor or political organizing, experience managing staff, fluency in Voter Activation Network (VAN), and the position requires staff management, reliable transportation and the flexibility to work evening and Saturday hours. Field Organizers should have similar abilities, training, campus or peer leadership and/or civic engagement. All applicants should have excellent communication and organizational skills, and must work well within a team.
The RFD and FO positions are full-time, salaried and extend through the end of December 2016. In addition to salaries that are higher than campaign positions, based upon experience, a generous benefits package is included, including health insurance, reimbursements and stipends; possible volunteer housing may be provided if necessary for qualified candidates (for those moving closer to the NVLCV offices in order to do the full term of the position). Bilingual (Spanish/English) is a huge plus for these positions!
To apply, please send resume, brief cover letter and at least three professional or academic references (references are NOT contacted until you have had a successful interview and are notified) to:
Please apply ASAP! We will be hiring Field Organizers and Regional Field Directors no later than June 1st until all positions are filled. Please specify in the subject line for which location and position you are applying. Other state LCV offices are hiring for these positions in their respective states, but we can respond only to inquiries with complete application materials included.
Successful, inclusive organizing and democratic representation is possible only with the participation of all citizens, and thus NVLCV strongly encourages diversity and equal representation in its hiring. LCV and Democracy Partners strongly encourages people of color, women, LGBT and those with bilingual language abilities to apply. Thanks!
