Job description

Rooted in the Hispanic community, The LIBRE Initiative brings people together to advance public policy solutions that create the freedom and opportunity that people need to chase their American Dream. LIBRE empowers our communities by fixing our broken immigration system, encouraging affordable and flexible healthcare options, building an individualized education system, and promoting a robust economy that helps everyone succeed.

The LIBRE Initiative is a part of Americans for Prosperity and the Stand Together philanthropic community.

As a Regional Field Manager (internally referred to as a Grassroots Engagement Director) you will identify, recruit, and engage grassroots leaders in Kenosha or Racine, mobilize them to take action, and drive policy reforms that open opportunities for all.

How You Will Contribute

• Identify activists in various parts of the state who are currently - or could become leaders - in their local communities, and motivate them to advocate for change.
• Equip these local leaders to advocate for changes that are consistent with principles LIBRE believes in. You will do this, in part, by connecting them to the training and other resources of LIBRE.
• Organize events where you and other activists can engage the public through phone calls, social media, walking through neighborhoods to talk with people face-to-face. You'll also be free to innovate by creating fun or unique ways to reach people to educate them on public policy issues and initiatives.
• Ensure that the LIBRE Initiative stays in regular contact with our activists to keep them motivated, educated, and active.
• Manage part-time canvassing contractors, including but not limited to, time management, compliance with laws and regulations, and best practices.

What You Will Bring

• Fluency in Spanish and English.
• Passion for people, ability to build relationships quickly with people from all walks of life, and understand how to inspire and motivate them.
• Knowledge of state and federal public policy landscapes.
• Self-motivation, always looking for the best way to use your time to accomplish objectives.
• Organization skills and the ability to keep multiple events and activities on track for yourself and the people you engage to help you.
• Works well with a team of people, including LIBRE staff and activists.
• Excitement to canvass neighborhoods and make phone calls for LIBRE and AFP priority initiatives and AFP Action endorsed candidates, as well as motivate and coordinate volunteers to do the same.
• A valid driver's license to be able to travel to meet with people in your area and across the state, as needed.
• Willingness to work a flexible and changing work schedule, including evenings and weekends as needed.
• Integrity, humility, and an entrepreneurial attitude.
• Enthusiasm to contribute to Stand Together's vision and principled approach to solving problems, and a commitment to stewarding our culture, which champions values including transformation and innovation, entrepreneurialism, humility, and respect.

Standout Candidates Will Bring

• Experience in grassroots advocacy, community organization, and/or political campaigns.
• Volunteer or staff supervisory experience.

What We Offer

• Competitive benefits: Enjoy a 6% 401(k) match with immediate vesting, flexible time off, comprehensive health and dental plans, plus wellness and mental health support through Peloton and Talkspace.
• A meaningful career: Join a passionate community of over 1,300 employees dedicated to improving lives and driving innovative solutions to complex social challenges.
• Commitment to growth: Thrive in a non-hierarchical environment that empowers employees to discover, develop and apply their unique talents.

The culture is deeply rooted in Principle Based Management (PBM), a framework guided by the principles that drive human progress, such as dignity, openness, and bottom-up empowerment. PBM empowers employees to be entrepreneurial, to innovate, and to continually drive transformation.
