📋 Description

• Create compelling virtual trainings that set captains up for success and keep them engaged. • Partner with comms on templates and social toolkits used in captain recruitment. • Identify and pursue creative opportunities to deepen the program's impact and refine its model. • Co-design, build, and continuously refine training curriculum, drawing on existing resources and lived experience. • Own the shared resource library: messaging house, best-practice guides, FAQs, and quick-reference one-pagers. • Lead live virtual trainings for captains across dozens of states and hundreds of counties, and train staff to do the same. • Adapt delivery to different audiences: rural versus suburban, younger versus older participants, and everything in between. • Ensure biweekly office hours for captains, which may include peer captain learning opportunities. • Coordinate scheduling of part-time staff to ensure every training is covered, with backups and set schedules at least two weeks in advance. • Hold at least a 30-minute one-on-one with each direct report once a week.

🎯 Requirements

• Creative and opportunistic: you spot the opening, pitch the idea, and try the thing, defaulting to action and learning from what happens. • Project management: you can hold a lot of moving parts, prioritize well under pressure, and know when to ask for help in a fast-moving environment. • 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.

🏖️ Benefits

• Annual salary of $72,000–$78,000 (Level 2). • Work-life stipend of $700/month pre-tax to support employees during our highest-intensity work period, starting August 1 (prorated for partial months). • Excellent health, dental, and vision benefits; 401(k) matching. • Remote-first culture with teammates across the country. • Possible on-call requirements. • This is a temporary cycle role, running through December 15, 2026. • This position is eligible for the collective bargaining unit.
