Job Description:
The 2014 Election Cycle is upon us.
Grassroots Campaigns is calling on all seasoned campaign veterans as we gear up to knock on doors and build support for candidates and organizations fighting for Progressive causes such as LGBT equality, women’s reproductive rights and fair voting laws.
At Grassroots Campaigns, we know that successful campaigns are built as much on grit and determination as they are on a dedication to ideals. That is why we are looking for proven leaders who are willing to do whatever it takes to establish local canvass offices in states like WI, CO, NC, OH, TX, IA, MO, MI, NH, FL, TN, NJ, AZ, PA, ME, CA, and MN. Put your years of hard-earned organizing experience to the use fighting for Progress in 2014.
Come lead the charge.
Responsibilities:
Lead Canvass Director work to recruit, train, motivate, and manage a team of canvassers with a goal of building local membership and donor base for one of our partner organizations. Goals for a typical project would be to speak with 65,000 supporters, sign up 13,000 new members, and raising $500,000 in small donations over the course of a year. To do this, you and your Assistant Directors would need to recruit a team of 30 motivated staff, train them on communication and fundraising skills, and work with them in the field to hone their skills. Canvass Directors also bottom line local administration of the campaign.
Qualifications:
Strong communication and motivational skills, work ethic, and desire for political change are essential. Candidates must be able to work within a team, have proven leadership ability and experience handling a lot of responsibility. Strong self-direction and the ability to take initiative are also necessary qualifications.
