Team Overview

The Colorado Democratic Party is seeking skilled and experienced Regional Organizing Directors to join our growing team. 2026 features competitive races up and down the ballot in Colorado, including the election of John Hickenlooper (US Senate), Phil Weiser (Governor), Jena Griswold (Attorney General), Amanda Gonzalez (Secretary of State), and Jeff Bridges (Treasurer), alongside competitive US House races. The Coordinated Campaign will persuade and mobilize voters to support Colorado’s Democrats in November 2026.

Role Overview

Regional Organizing Directors (RODs) will manage teams of field organizers covering large geographies, forming the backbone of our statewide campaign's organizing efforts across all facets of voter outreach. This includes but isn't limited to voter registration, voter identification, volunteer recruitment, and volunteer training.

RODs will build relational organizing programs that turn supporters into recruiters — training volunteers to map, activate, and mobilize their own personal networks — and will apply distributed organizing practices, empowering volunteer leaders to run trainings, host events, and lead outreach with less direct staff oversight, extending the campaign's reach beyond what a traditional staff-led model can achieve alone.

Regional Organizing Directors will report to the Organizing Director. RODs should be solutions-oriented, motivated, and excited about the unique opportunity to work with and learn from a diverse group of staff and volunteers in a critical year of statewide and local elections.

Prior organizing experience, preferably in a campaign or other political role, is preferred for ROD candidates, though those with demonstrated experience in politics, policy, organizing, or issue advocacy will also receive consideration. Strong background in relational and distributed organizing is preferred, including experience training volunteers to activate their personal networks and empowering volunteer leaders to independently run training and outreach. Experience with the Reach app or similar relational organizing tools is a plus.

Key Responsibilities

• Managing and training organizers and volunteers on direct voter contact methods such as phone banking and canvassing.
• Building and running relational organizing programs, training volunteers to use the Reach app to map their networks and recruit friends, family, and neighbors into the campaign.
• Applying distributed organizing strategies to empower volunteer leaders to independently plan and lead trainings, events, and outreach, extending the campaign's reach beyond direct staff capacity.
• Ensuring all volunteer outreach and engagement is tracked in VAN and reports are submitted daily.
• Assisting in the planning and execution of organizing actions and events.
• Developing relationships with democratic activists in the community and engaging them in field events and activities.
• Fostering partnerships with local county parties and progressive groups.
• Other duties as assigned.

Ideal candidates will have:

• Strong interpersonal skills and ability to effectively and clearly communicate
• Good personal organization
• Ability to meet deadlines and manage many tasks at once
• Flexibility and adaptability to meet the varied and changing needs of the broader campaign
• Desire to ask questions, receive constructive feedback, and grow as a professional
• Commitment to equity and inclusion in working with fellow staff and volunteers
• Access to a smartphone, laptop and comfortable with technology including SMS, social media platforms and voter databases
• Ability to live and work in-person in Colorado through November 2024. Must have access to a vehicle, valid driver's license, computer, cell phone.
