It's going to be a long two years.
Grassroots Campaigns is working with progressive groups like Planned Parenthood and the ACLU to build the grassroots power and funding they need to keep pushing back against nonsensical, cruel, and dangerous policies.
We're hiring directors to join our leadership team in existing offices across the country and to open new offices all over the US, including in Phoenix and Albuquerque. We're looking for people who can build a team of canvassers and train them to be effective; people who are ready and willing to lead from the front; and people who approach their work with passion, humor, and relentless drive.
JOB RESPONSIBILITIES:
- Recruitment: Build a team of 15-50 canvassers by recruiting from within the local community. Identify and interview prospective staff and make hiring decisions.
- Staff Management: Teach canvassing and fundraising skills. Work with your staff in individual and group settings with a particular eye towards developing leaders. Cultivate a welcoming and motivating atmosphere.
- Canvassing: Canvass 3-4 times per week to train new and experienced staff in the field and meet personal fundraising requirements.
- Administration: Carefully track income and expenses. Handle the budget for your office. Process staff payroll. Maintain records for future organizing efforts.
QUALIFICATIONS:
- You're an excellent communicator with motivational skills, work ethic, and dedication to political change
- You make a great teammate who can tackle big goals in high-stakes environments with enthusiasm and a sense of humor
- You're a confident leader with a proven ability to shoulder significant responsibility
- You're self-directed and able to take initiative
- Previous field or canvassing experience is a plus, and may qualify you for additional leadership positions
EXPECTATIONS:
- Travel flexibility for a 2 to 6-week training stint in a current office
- Most of the year a typical work week runs 50-60 hours, including work on weekends.
