Job description

Americans for Prosperity (AFP) is the premier grassroots organization focused on advocating solutions to the country’s greatest challenges.

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

• Manage part-time canvassing contractors, including but not limited to, time management, compliance with laws and regulations, and best practices

What You Will Bring

• 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 AFP staff and activists
• Excitement to canvass neighborhoods and make phone calls for 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
