Job description

Florida families are paying more for housing, insurance, groceries, and gas than ever before. Access to a quality education has been gutted while Republicans play politics with our schools. It’s imperative that we elect leaders who will fight to right the course. Florida is at an inflection point. After years of being written off nationally, Florida Democrats are running ahead of the national environment. We've flipped 40 seats from red to blue since 2024, and we have a real opening to win up and down the ballot this November. We're not wasting it. We're hiring Regional Organizing Directors to lead and develop the field organizer teams that will build the volunteer infrastructure we need to win.

Key Responsibilities

• Train and manage a team of Field Organizers. Coach FOs through the fundamentals of volunteer recruitment and voter contact, helping them get over the initial learning curve quickly and sustain high performance throughout the cycle.
• Drive volunteer leadership development across your region. Help FOs cultivate volunteers who recruit and host their own events, expanding the program's reach beyond what paid staff can accomplish alone.
• Hit and grow weekly contact goals. Manage your team toward voter contact goals that increase week over week, tracking progress closely, intervening early when things go off course, and proposing solutions when they do.
• Attend and support field events strategically. Prioritize which canvasses and phonebanks to attend in person to maximize volunteer retention and leadership development across a large region.
• Root your program in local party infrastructure. Work within county party structures to build volunteer teams that stay engaged after November, creating lasting capacity for the Florida Democratic Party.
• Manage performance proactively. Notice when FOs are struggling, provide timely feedback and support, and make difficult personnel decisions when necessary.

You’re a Great Fit If

• You’re dedicated to building a strong Democratic Party and electing Democrats up and down the ballot. You’re committed to fighting for a better future for Florida families and championing our Party's values.
• You’re an exceptional trainer and coach. You know how to get people comfortable doing hard things fast, and you have a track record of helping new organizers find their footing and succeed.
• You develop leadership in others. You’re skilled at identifying potential in the people around you, whether staff or volunteers, and cultivating it deliberately.
• You’re analytically sharp and quick to course correct. You use data and reporting systems to catch problems early, and you’re fast to flag when something is off track and propose a fix.
• You’re a compelling communicator. You can confidently speak to a voter, volunteer, community leader, or staff member and motivate them to take action.
• You’re ready for a demanding campaign schedule. You thrive in a high-intensity environment.

This is an election position lasting through November, 2026.

Team members currently work Tuesday-Sunday but schedule will fluctuate based on campaign needs. Compensation for the position will be $5850/month plus health insurance benefits.
