About the role

As a Field Organizer, you are the heartbeat of our grassroots movement.
This is not a behind-the-scenes strategy or policy role; this is an active, on-the-ground, front-line position.
You will spend your days recruiting volunteers on the phone, empowering them to launch canvases and other Direct Voter contact events, knocking on doors, conducting high-traffic canvassing, and tracking your progress against strict metrics.

Volunteer Team Management: Build, train, and support local grassroots volunteer teams (Neighborhood Action Teams).
Plan, manage, and execute effective grassroots activities in your turf, including canvass kick-offs, friendbanks, community tabling, and house meetings.
Maintain a relentlessly visible campaign presence in your community, building strong relationships with local stakeholders, county party leaders, and allied groups.
During the upcoming election cycle, WisDems will drive massive programs to hold Republicans accountable, elect progressive candidates up and down the ballot, and work to build volunteer-led coalitions for the long term.
Our work continues year-round, collaborating with partners to build a movement that delivers meaningful change for all Wisconsinites.

Growth & Adaptability: You are dedicated to continuous improvement and challenge yourself to learn and adapt.
You are proactive in setting clear expectations, sharing the "why" behind decisions, and providing timely updates to ensure the right people have the information they need.
Goal Orientation: Relentlessly goal-oriented with a proven track record of working toward and achieving ambitious targets in a fast-paced environment.
Transportation: Access to reliable transportation (frequent travel within your assigned turf is required).
Proficiency with VoteBuilder (VAN), Reach, or similar databases.
Familiarity with Wisconsin communities and political geography.
In order to be successful at the Democratic Party of Wisconsin candidates must have the cultural competence to successfully work with a diverse array of constituency groups.

Equity and Inclusion: The Democratic Party of Wisconsin has a vision for a deeply inclusive and diverse party organization, membership, and electorate.
We especially strongly encourage applicants with close ties to Black, Indigenous, AAPI, Latinx, Muslim, non-English-speaking, disability, and LGBTQIA+ communities.
We seek outstanding applicants who share our values and vision to join the team, help win elections, and build a future where everyone can thrive.
