Environmental Campaign Assistant Director
New Yesterday
We’re hiring and training Canvass Directors to make an impact on some of the most important problems of our time – like protecting wildlife and wild places, eliminating plastic waste that is polluting our oceans, ensuring we have clean air to breathe and clean water to drink, and more.
Directors and their staff work to build public support through one-on-one, face-to-face conversations on America’s front doorsteps, generating the kind of support that lasts longer than a news cycle and goes deeper than an online petition. We have immediate positions available as well as positions starting throughout the year.
Apply to work with us if you want to:
Educate and engage the public on campaigns like protecting wildlife and the outdoors, moving beyond single-use plastics, and stopping electronic waste
Build support and fundraise for leading non-profit groups working on these issues, including Environment America and PIRG
Hire, train and manage your own team
Work at the most effective citizen outreach operation in the country. We have raised over $700 million for environmental and public interest organizations, run hundreds of campaigns in all 50 states, and educated and mobilized millions of people on important issues
Qualifications
We are looking for candidates who have leadership experience, excellent communication skills, and who want to work hard to make lasting, positive change on important issues. Being a Canvass Director requires that you work independently, exercise good judgment and work hard to meet your office’s staffing, campaign and fieldwork goals.
Training
We have an excellent training program, which starts with working in an existing canvass office to get hands-on training, as well as classroom-style training on social change concepts and skills.
Throughout the year, new and experienced canvass directors may participate in advanced trainings on staff management, canvassing, campaign strategy, and other skills.
Locations
We work on campaigns and in locations that we think will make the biggest difference. We are looking for Canvass Directors who are ready to go where the environment needs them and wherever they can make the biggest impact. Canvass Directors could work on campaigns almost anywhere in the country, and while location preferences are considered for placements, we require all directors to be geographically flexible.
Pay and Benefits
The target annual compensation for this position is $38,250-$53,750, depending on position and location. The Fund offers an excellent benefits package. Our benefits package includes medical, dental, and vision insurance for employees and dependents, paid sick time, vacation time, a commuter benefit program, a 401(k) plan with employer match, parental leave, long term disability insurance, and may include needs-based student loan assistance.
