About The Position

Vote Blue is a field firm specializing in face-to-face canvassing operations, mobilizing voters to get to the polls. Our field campaigns have provided the margin of victory in close elections at the local, state, and national levels. We are currently seeking Field Organizers to join us on an important and exciting campaign to build and lead the canvass teams talking to voters in Philadelphia, PA and encouraging them to Vote Blue in the upcoming November elections. We are hiring for multiple organizer positions in multiple cities throughout the state. This role is focused on turning out Democrats in Pennsylvania to get out the vote and win, with a particular emphasis on reproductive rights. Field Organizers are responsible for building and leading a canvass team that talks with voters face to face and encourages them to Vote Blue in November. You'll start by recruiting and training your team, then lead daily voter contact shifts, coach canvassers and team leads, and drive turnout through Election Day. You'll also have your own door-knocking goals, with at least four of your own canvass shifts each week. As your team grows, they'll be out on the doors with you.
