Job Description

We’re hiring Canvass Office Directors to build and lead teams of canvassers that will fundraise and build support for some of our country's most pressing issues - like reducing plastic pollution in Colorado. We are hiring for immediate positions as well as positions starting in the winter.

As a Canvass Office Director, you and the canvass staff you hire and train will knock on doors and have face-to-face conversations to fundraise, mobilize people to get involved, and support some of the country’s leading non-profit groups, including Environment America and PIRG. Being a director requires that you work independently, exercise good judgment and work hard to meet your office’s staffing, campaign and fieldwork goals. You’ll develop communication and leadership skills that will last a lifetime, and you’ll be building the grassroots people power that’s behind all social change.

Apply to work with us if you want to:

• Educate and engage citizens on campaigns like tackling climate change and moving beyond single-use plastics

• Build support and fundraise for leading non-profit groups, like Environment America and PIRG

• Hire, train and manage staff

Qualifications

We are looking for candidates who have leadership experience and excellent communication skills, and who want to work hard to make lasting, positive change on important issues.

Training

We have an excellent training program — it’s one of the things for which we’re most widely recognized. All positions have a month-long initial training, most of which is spent working in an existing field office and getting hands-on training. Directors also receive classroom-style training on social change concepts and skills.

Throughout the year, new and experienced canvass directors will participate in advanced trainings on staff management, canvassing, campaign strategy, and other skills.

Locations

We work on campaigns and in locations that we think will make the biggest difference. We are running campaigns in CA, CO, IL, MA, NM, OR, WA, and Washington, D.C.

Pay and Benefits

The target annual compensation for this position is $35,750-$53,000, depending on location. The Fund offers a competitive benefits package. We also offer an excellent training program and opportunities for advancement. Our benefits package includes medical, dental, and vision insurance for employees and dependents, our commuter benefit program, 401(k) with employer match, paid time off and long-term disability insurance. Compensation and benefits may vary based on location and experience. We also offer an excellent training program and opportunities for advancement.
