Job Description

About the role.

The Mobile Voting Project aims to make voting as easy and accessible as anything else you do on your phone. We are changing a broken political system and challenging the status quo to advance mobile voting legislation, and the only way to do that successfully is by amassing public interest and support. That’s where you come in. 

As the Grassroots Director, you’ll play a significant role in achieving our multi-state mission by identifying and mobilizing the right kind of stakeholders and communities that will drown out opposition and champion modernizing the voting experience.

What we’re looking for.

The right candidate is an experienced organizer with strong relationship-building skills, a deep understanding of legislative advocacy, and a proven track record for multi-state grassroots advocacy and coalition building. Responsibilities include, but are not limited to:

• Developing and executing grassroots strategies that cultivate supporters, mobilize activists, and translate their engagement into meaningful progress toward the Mobile Voting Project’s goals.
• Rapidly building and maintaining diverse state-wide coalitions that include various constituencies (e.g. labor unions, college student associations, civil rights organizations.)
• Recruiting, training, and managing authentic grassroots spokespeople and active volunteers in each state who will become the public face of the campaign.
• Driving high-volume constituent contact to state legislators (calls, emails, patch-through calls, in-district meeting requests.) 
• Organizing grassroots in-person events such as “Days of Action,” town halls, rallies, and Capitol lobby days.
• Developing written resources that equip grassroots leaders with the knowledge and tools to drive impact.
• Coordinating testimony scheduling and preparing grassroots volunteers and experts to provide testimony at legislative hearings.
• Tracking evolving activist trends and technologies to strengthen and enhance our organizing efforts.

Qualifications.

• 2+ cycles of legislative or issue-advocacy organizing (statehouse experience strongly preferred.)
• Proven ability to build and maintain broad coalitions across ideology, demographics, and geography.
• Demonstrated success driving large-scale constituent contact programs to lawmakers (phone, email, patch-through, in-person.)
• Strong organizational skills and the ability to juggle multiple campaigns at once. 
• Experience managing lobbying efforts and working directly with lobbyists to secure legislative wins. 
• Comfort working in a fast-paced environment where strategic shifts can happen quickly. 
• Excellent writing skills, including drafting talking points and synthesizing information. 

What we offer.

• Highly competitive base salary. 
• 401(k) with employer contribution of 3% of compensation. 
• 100% covered premiums for medical, dental, vision. 
• Unlimited vacation days. 
• Paid four month parental leave. 
• Covered cell phone service. 
• Hybrid work environment. 
• Opportunities for professional growth and development within a mission-driven organization committed to transforming the future of voting. 

The pay range for this position is expected to be between $90,000 and $125,000. However, the base pay offered may vary depending on multiple factors, including job-related knowledge, skills, experience, and market factors.
