Project Administrator - Remote

[Peggy Mansperger]

The Outreach Team is a political field firm specializing in face-to-face canvassing operations. We fuel the nation's leading progressive groups to raise more money and impact critical elections. We are excited to be working multiple partners this electoral season to raise money to help fund critical campaigns, to identify key supporters in swing districts and states throughout the country and to turn out voters this November.

General Overview: COVID-19 has altered the political landscape this year, but one thing remains the same: nothing is going to engage voters more effectively than talking to them face to face about the stakes of this election. If we are going to win this November we're going to need to mobilize millions of Americans to take action and vote. The Outreach Team has developed an effective health and safety protocol that allows us to go door to door or to speak with people in public places while keeping our staff and the people we speak to safe.

We are hiring immediately and the position runs through November.

If you are passionate about progressive politics, join our fight to defeat Donald Trump and vulnerable US Senators. You will provide the administrative support we need to recruit, train and manage paid staff to raise money, identify supporters and turn out voters this November.
