Nonprofit Campaign Director with Environment America

As a Field Office Director, you will recruit and lead a team that will go into neighborhoods, knock on doors, and have face-to-face conversations. You’ll fundraise, mobilize people to get involved, and support some of the country’s leading non-profit groups, including Environment America and PIRG. Being a director requires that you work independently, exercise good judgment and work hard to meet the office’s staffing, campaign and fieldwork goals. You’ll develop communication and leadership skills that will last a lifetime, and you’ll be building the grassroots people power that’s behind all social change. You could work on issues like tackling climate change, moving our country beyond single-use plastics, working to ban the worst uses of bee-killing pesticides, and more. We are hiring for immediate positions as well as positions in the coming months.

• Canvass and raise money

Throughout the year, new and experienced canvass directors will participate in advanced trainings on staff management, canvassing, campaign strategy, media and public speaking.

Locations
