Field Organizing Director

Nuevo Field Campaigns • Wichita, KS

1d • $7,000 • Hybrid

About The Position

Nuevo Field Campaigns is seeking an experienced, driven, and highly organized State Organizing Director to lead advocacy, community visibility, and grasstops organizing programs within an assigned state through the 2026 election cycle. This is still a direct voter contact role carrying a candidate message, but it is not a traditional canvass. Instead of door-to-door contact built around voter-file data collection, the State Organizing Director leads "hot-spotting" programs: identifying and staffing high-traffic community locations, such as events, markets, transit hubs, and cultural and civic spaces, where teams talk directly with voters, deliver the candidate's message, and hand out materials. The State Organizing Director will oversee all in-state operations, including hot-spotting deployment, community visibility efforts, coalition and grasstops relationship-building, and issue advocacy programs. Working closely with the National Field Director and company leadership, this position will ensure programs are executed on time, on budget, and at the highest quality standards while serving as the primary operational and advocacy leader within their assigned state. Remote work may be considered on a case-by-case basis. Preference will be given to candidates whose residence is in one of our program locations.
