What you’ll need

Creative and opportunistic: you spot the opening, pitch the idea, and try the thing, defaulting to action and learning from what happens.

Adaptable and proactive: comfortable with an ever-evolving, ever-improving program.
Values feedback, both giving and receiving.
Mission-driven: you believe we can make this country and the Democratic Party better, and that it starts with us.
Exceptional communication: strong training and facilitation skills, with the ability to coach others on emotional intelligence, leading with empathy, and boundary management.
Comfort presenting and performing in a virtual environment; experience in theater, podcasting, or micro-influencing is a plus.
2–3 years of experience managing staff and volunteers in a campaign environment, with extensive experience training and managing volunteers.
Preferred: roots in a rural community and an understanding of organizing in a rural context.
Strongly preferred: experience in the food service or retail industry, in addition to campaign and volunteer experience.
