Job Overview

We’re hiring and training Assistant Canvass Office Directors to make an impact on some of the most important problems of our time – like tackling climate change, eliminating plastic waste that is polluting our oceans, ensuring we have clean air to breathe and clean water to drink, and more. We believe that having solutions to these problems isn’t enough to solve them.

To get our decision makers to act, we need to educate, engage and mobilize people across the country.
Responsibilities
• Educate and engage the public on campaigns like tackling climate change and moving beyond single-use plastics.
• Build support and fundraise for leading non-profit groups working on these issues, including Environment America and PIRG
.
• Hire, train and manage your own team.
• Work at the most effective citizen outreach operation in the country. We have raised over $700 million for environmental and public interest organizations, run hundreds of campaigns in all 50 states, and educated and mobilized millions of people on important issues.
Qualifications

We are looking for candidates who have leadership experience, excellent communication skills, and who want to work hard to make lasting, positive change on important issues. Being an Assistant Canvass Office Director requires that you work independently, exercise good judgment and work hard to meet your office’s staffing, campaign and fieldwork goals.
Training

We have an excellent training program, which starts with working in an existing canvass office to get hands-on training, as well as classroom-style training on social change concepts and skills. Throughout the year, new and experienced canvass directors may 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 looking for Assistant Canvass Directors who are ready to go where the environment needs them and wherever they can make the biggest impact. Assistant Canvass Directors could work on campaigns almost anywhere in the country, and while location preferences are considered for placements, we require all directors to be geographically flexible.

Right now we are running campaigns in Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Oregon, and Colorado with plans to run campaigns in Minnesota, California and more.
Pay and Benefits

The target annual compensation for this position is $37,000- $53,274, depending on position and location. The Fund offers an excellent benefits package including medical, dental, and vision insurance for employees and dependents, paid sick time (60-80 hours/year depending on location), accrued vacation time, a commuter benefit program, a 401(k) plan with employer match, parental leave, long term disability insurance, and may include needs-based student loan assistance.
