Field Director

NEW YORK SOLIDARITY NETWORK FIELD DIRECTOR Reports to: CEO|Location: New York City|Classification: Full-Time, Exempt|Salary: $95,000 – $120,000 About New York Solidarity Network New York Solidarity Network (NYSN) is a 501(c)(4) membership organization committed to advancing commonsense government and standing up for the interests of New York City's Jewish community. At the heart of our work is building a permanent voter contact and field program — one focused on educating, organizing, registering, and turning out Jewish voters across the five boroughs. Position Overview We are searching for a relentless, experienced, full-time Field Director to take ownership of building, launching, and scaling an ambitious citywide direct-voter-contact operation. If you are a data-driven, mission-driven field organizer with a track record of recruiting and managing high-performing teams, we want to hear from you! Reporting to the CEO, the Field Director will build, launch, and run our paid door-to-door canvassing operation from the ground up, supported by a volunteer program that you will oversee. You will be in the field regularly — engaging stakeholders, standing up canvass hubs, training and managing organizers and canvassers, and making sure your team hits the goals you set. Key Responsibilities Design and build voter contact infrastructure in districts where Jewish voter education, registration, and turnout can make a decisive difference. Set ambitious goals and metrics, and craft district-level plans that put the right message in front of the right voters at the right time. Recruit, hire, train, and manage teams of paid field organizers and door-to-door and phone canvassers, fostering an accountable, high-energy culture where every team member feels respected and safe. Oversee the volunteer program, aligning it with the field plan so that it supplements and feeds the paid operation. Build and sustain relationships with allied organizations to coordinate voter contact and extend NYSN's reach in targeted districts, working with our coalition and community relations staff. Use voter file and canvassing tools to manage and analyze data (we currently use the L2 Data voter file), tracking data-entry quality and daily contact metrics to sharpen team performance. Run regular field check-ins, ride-alongs, and data audits so that every voter interaction is professional, on-message, and consistent with NYSN's values. Work with NYSN's membership and communications staff to turn contacted voters into supporters and members. Qualifications At least 4 years of progressively responsible leadership in political and/or community field organizing. Hands-on organizing experience in New York City or a comparably complex urban environment. Fluency with voter files and demonstrated experience managing voter data systems, such as VAN/VoteBuilder or comparable tools. A genuine commitment to NYSN's mission of advocating for New York City's Jewish community, including fighting antisemitism. Experience managing and retaining teams spread across multiple locations, and resolving conflict effectively. Experience running a field budget with an eye toward cost-per-contact efficiency and smart resource allocation. Willingness and ability to work long hours when necessary, including evenings and weekends, as the program demands. Ability to travel throughout the five boroughs (a driver's license is a plus). Knowledge of New York City elections, government, and political landscape a plus. Experience engaging diverse communities a plus. NYSN is an equal opportunity employer. We strongly encourage applications from all qualified candidates, regardless of background. #J-18808-Ljbffr New York Solidarity Network
