Bilingual Voter Contact Field Director- Raleigh NC

Voter Contact Field Director 

With our communities under attack, you can be the voice for the future! The Outreach Team is a premier national field firm. We partner with organizations working to solve some of the biggest problems facing our society, from defending immigrant rights to honing Latino political power, and help them build the resources they need to make an impact. We are a people-powered enterprise; our campaigns are effective because we hire diverse teams of talented people, invest in our staff, and treat them well.

In partnership with Siembra, we are hiring Field Directors to manage our offices in Raleigh, NC. The Field Director will recruit, train, and manage a team of local canvassers to contact NC voters at the door, with a push for latino voters, and grow our community's political power. They will work within the director team to build an office to scale from the ground up. The Field Director is expected to train voter contact canvassers in the field while canvassing themselves to lead by example; they must also communicate long and short-term goals to staff and manage campaign reporting. The Field Director manages canvassers and Team Leads and reports to the Lead Director.

Additionally, the Lead Campaign Director will manage a team of one or more Deputy Directors and will be responsible for building an office to scale from the ground up. The Lead Director position reports to the Project Director, and the Deputy Director position reports to the Lead Director.

We're working to ensure that every family in North Carolina can live free from fear and build the future they deserve. North Carolina is home to 5.3 million working families and 1.2 million Latinos, one of the fastest growing communities in the state, and our power grows every time we're heard at the doors and at the polls. Politicians have no business ignoring our communities or leaving us out of the decisions that shape our lives. We're fighting to make sure our power is represented in our communities, not handed to us, but recognized for what it already is.
