Field Director

Field Directors (Boston, Amherst, Worcester)

We are currently seeking Field Directors to join us on an important and exciting campaign with the Coalition for Healthy Democracy, centered around government transparency and electoral reform. We are hiring for Lead Director and Deputy Director positions in Massachusetts.

Across the country our political system is worse than ever. And Massachusetts is no longer the exception : we have the least competitive elections and the least transparent legislature in the country. This system keeps power in the hands of a few rather than the many. We are seeking a dedicated Field Director to lead our efforts in placing this democracy reform initiative on the ballot for an upcoming election. Join us in putting electoral reform directly on the ballot.

Field Directors will recruit, train, and manage a team of local petitioners who will gather signatures from registered Massachusetts voters to qualify this initiative for an upcoming election. Additionally, the Lead Campaign Director will manage a team of one or more Deputy Field Directors, and will be responsible for building an office to scale from the ground up. This position reports to the Project Director.
