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 recruiting individuals with a unique skill set to help us conduct a test on a new form of voter contact. These Hourly Specialists will work closely with the program lead to observe, record and translate data and observations into reports. This role will require extensive time in the field as well as an ability to be adaptable to changing campaign needs.

This campaign is short term but will have the opportunity to transition into other hourly roles with The Outreach Team upon completion.

Qualifications:

Must have

Previous canvassing experience
Extreme attention to detail and a proven ability to instill that quality in others
Eagerness to improve and provide feedback
Self-starter with excellent problem-solving skills
Track record of equity and inclusion
Strong passion for community organizing and fostering civic engagement

Nice-to-have

Experience with conducting formal academic studies
Technical writing experience

Salary and Benefits: This is an hourly position at $20 per hour. We offer a generous benefits package, including paid vacation and sick leave, health insurance, and hands-on training. At the end of the campaign, there may be opportunities for advancement and bonuses.

At The Outreach Team, we prioritize equity and inclusion. We are an equal opportunity employer and we strongly encourage Black, indigenous, people of color, women, people with previous felony convictions, members of the LGBTQIA+ community, and others who identify with underrepresented groups to apply.
