The Outreach Team

Field Director Talent Pool

(Multiple states) - Full Time

Deputy Field Director

Location and Timeline:

We are building a Talent Pool of Field Directors for 2025 and 2026.

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 building a talent pool of Deputy Field Directors for campaigns in 2025 and for the 2026 campaign cycle. Field Directors will work within the director team to build an office to scale from the ground up. The Field Director is expected to train voter contact canvassers in the field while canvassing themselves to lead by example; they must also communicate long and short term goals to staff and manage campaign reporting. The Field Director manages canvassers and Team Leads and reports to the Lead Director.
