Field Directors-Planned Parenthood Votes South Atlantic

Planned Parenthood Votes! South Atlantic. 

Field Director Asheville and Wilmington, NC

About The Outreach Team

With reproductive rights under attack, you can be the voice for the future in North Carolina! The Outreach Team is a premier national field firm. We partner with organizations working to solve some of the biggest problems facing our society -- from protecting human rights to fighting climate change -- and help them build the resources they need to make an impact. We are a people-powered enterprise; our campaigns are effective because we hire diverse teams of talented people, invest in our staff, and treat them well.

We are hiring a Field Director to manage our offices in North Carolina. The Field Director will recruit, train, and manage a team of local canvassers to contact voters with Planned Parenthood Votes South Atlantic. They will work within the director team to build an office to scale from the ground up. The Field Director is expected to train voter contact canvassers in the field while canvassing themselves to lead by example; they must also communicate long and short term goals to staff and manage campaign reporting. The Field Director manages canvassers and Team Leads and reports to the Lead Director.

Additionally, the Lead Campaign Director will manage a team of one or more Deputy Directors, and will be responsible for building an office to scale from the ground up. The Lead Director position reports to the Project Director and the Deputy Director position reports to the Lead Director.

We're working to ensure that everyone can live, thrive, and raise families in healthy communities. When people can make decisions about their own reproductive health care, they have more control over their economic security, their health and well-being, and can build the future they see for themselves. Politicians have no business interfering with private health care decisions. We're fighting to stop this government intrusion and put the power back in the hands of the people.
