About The Outreach Team
The Outreach Team is the national engine of campaigners and organizers powering the progressive movement. With an on-the-ground presence in communities all across the country, our teams run successful civic engagement campaigns on behalf of progressive candidates, causes, and organizations. We do the work to build a future that is fairer, cleaner, safer, and more peaceful for everyone.
This is a full-time position for an experienced campaigner with an eye for details and a passion for behind-the-scenes work and helping offices succeed when they are in a bind. At The Outreach Team, the Roving Admin Director is expected to collaborate closely with the Project Directors and various field office Director Teams to cover for administrative directors when they need to be out of the office for more than a day at a time. You will ‘parachute in’ to various offices across the country as needed to maintain and drive the use of administrative systems and reports. You will play an integral role in ensuring our canvassing operations run smoothly and efficiently, achieving ambitious growth targets and maximizing our on-ground impact.
The position is primarily on the road, but you will have some time to be remote from your home base when you are in between field assignments. You should expect to work 40-60 hours per week, depending on how close to elections or other deadlines your project is. We cover the cost of travel and housing when you are out on assignments.
