Field Director

Texas Campaign for the Environment • Corpus Christi, TX

7d

About The Position

TCE’s mission is to engage people and communities through face-to-face public education, grassroots organizing and action-oriented research for a cleaner and healthier Texas. TCE 501(c)(4) acts as a hub for climate justice work in Texas and beyond, directly influencing public policy through community-based lobbying. We lead on local, statewide, national and international issue campaigns to fight pollution, especially fossil fuel and petrochemical facilities that harm communities and worsen climate and other pollution impacts.
TCE and its sister-organization, TCE Fund, are part of an international movement to stop a tidal wave of proposed petrochemical and fossil fuel exports facilities along the Gulf Coast. These facilities, if built, would have dire consequences on local air pollution and climate change and would largely benefit major energy company shareholders and executives while forcing ordinary Texans to pay higher prices.
The Contractor will lead and execute a high-volume, deadline-driven ballot signature collection campaign. This work requires rapid team deployment, strong field management, rigorous quality control, and consistent reporting to ensure the campaign meets aggressive signature targets while maintaining full compliance with applicable legal and campaign requirements.
