About The Position

Contest Every Race (CER) is seeking a Distributed Neighborhood Captains Program Manager to build and manage Movement Labs' distributed Neighborhood Captains program. The program aims to scale the concept of neighborhood captains to support hundreds of county parties across the country in moving vote share and potentially flipping congressional seats. This is a localized Field Persuasion Program where volunteer captains will be recruited to own a list of roughly 50 voters in their own community and make contact with them multiple times before the election. The ideal candidate is a digitally creative organizer, comfortable with digital tools, and adept at finding bespoke, creative ways to integrate systems for problem-solving and results. This role requires managing a training manager, designing and owning the program's digital infrastructure (onboarding, communication, data systems), and ensuring systems are in place for tracking program health, reporting on metrics, and using data for decision-making. Experience managing staff in a campaign environment and fostering an inclusive team culture is essential, as is familiarity with county Democratic parties and volunteer experiences.

Requirements

• 3–4 years working on political candidate campaigns in digital and/or volunteer management roles.
• Data fluency & technological proficiency: comfortable working with data managers to interpret outreach metrics and using tracking platforms to identify regional trends or underperformance; able to troubleshoot mobile applications for your team in the field.
• Digitally fluent, fast learner: you pick up new software quickly, think in systems, and are genuinely excited about how digital tools can amplify organizing. You're not intimidated by new platforms; you're curious about them.
• Project management: you can hold a lot of moving parts, prioritize well under pressure, and know when to ask for help in a fast-moving environment.
• Experience managing staff in a campaign environment.
• Familiarity with how county Democratic parties typically work and the volunteer experience in those settings.
• Comfortable with, and energized by, the pace and pressure of a campaign environment with tough, tight deadlines.

Nice To Haves

• Build and maintain systems to track program health, report on key metrics, and monitor performance across the country.
• Use data to inform decisions and surface insights and recommendations to leadership.
• Partner with your deputy to recruit, train, and support volunteer captains, each of whom will own a list of roughly 50 voters in their own community.
• Foster a team culture that is inclusive, celebratory, and built to withstand the pressure of a campaign environment.
• Find creative solutions to digital issues as they arise to keep the program moving under tight deadlines.
