• Ensuring that canvassers maintain accurate and reliable voter data
• Daily reporting and monitoring of metrics to Field Director (contact rates, flake rates, confirmation rates, shift rates, etc.)
• Communicating all important on-the-ground information to the Field Director and Campaign Manager 

Qualifications:
