Role track
Field & Volunteer Coordinator
You turn supporters into a field operation that actually reaches voters. Organizing is 1:1 relationship building at its core — and it can be taught.
Who this is
The person who recruits and runs the volunteers.
You own the field program: canvassing, phones, signs, data, and the people who do it all. The campaign's voter contact lives or dies on how well this role is run.
What you own
- The volunteer team — recruiting, onboarding, scheduling, keeping them
- Voter contact in the field — canvassing, lawn signs, the door program
- Data quality and targeting that points effort at the right voters
