Description

About The Outreach Team 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 protecting human rights to fighting climate change -- 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. We are hiring Deputy Directors to manage our remote voter contact offices. Directors will recruit, train, and manage a team of remote callers and texters to speak to potential voters about candidates in the upcoming election and then help get them out to vote in November. Directors will work within their team to build an office to scale from the ground up. All directors are expected to train staff while leading by example themselves; they must also communicate long and short term goals to staff and manage campaign reporting. Over the past few decades achieving the American dream–work hard and you’ll be able to give your family a good life–has become more and more difficult. That’s why we need elected officials who will stand up for working Americans. We’ll be making phone calls and sending text messages to potential voters in key states across the country. By educating voters on the candidates and then turning out those voters, we can ensure that we elect candidates who will support workers and address the issues that impact us most.
