About The Position

We are hiring a Field Director to lead a voter registration canvassing program in Texas. The Field Director runs day-to-day field operations — recruiting, training, and managing canvassers, assigning turf, running quality control, and making sure every voter registration application is handled according to Texas requirements. This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who is organized, reliable, and comfortable directing a team in neighborhoods, community spaces, and other approved outreach locations. We are hiring generally across Texas and collecting resumes to staff current and future locations as the program grows. Field Directors receive program training and complete the county Volunteer Deputy Registrar appointment process before leading field work.
