Field Intern
AOTF is an equal opportunity employer.
About the role
Field Operations Interns work alongside our operations and quality control teams during the 2026 cycle. This is a working internship on a live program, not a shadowing program. You will sit inside the day-to-day machinery of a canvass: the recruitment pipeline, the supply chain, the data that comes back off the doors, and the checks that confirm it is real. Interns take on real pieces of that work, including verification calls, audit tracking, and recruitment and logistics support. You will learn how a metric-driven field program actually runs, from the paperwork up, and you will get direct exposure to the people running it.
Responsibilities
- Support the operations team on recruitment logistics: scheduling interviews, tracking applicants, and keeping the candidate pipeline current
- Assist with supply and materials logistics for field teams across districts
- Make verification calls to voters recorded in canvasser data and log the results
- Help maintain QC tracking: which shifts have been audited, which canvassers are outstanding, and where quality rates stand
- Enter, clean, and cross-check field data
- Pull together daily and weekly numbers for program reporting
- Other duties as the program requires
Skills and Qualifications
- Detail-oriented and organized; comfortable owning a task list without close supervision
- Willing to spend real time on the phone
- Comfortable with spreadsheets
- Interested in electoral field work, campaigns, or political operations
- Reliable, discreet, and steady when a program gets busy
- Prior campaign, canvassing, or customer service experience is a plus but not required
Pay
$15.00 per hour
Schedule
Part-time, with flexibility around class schedules. Some evening and weekend hours, since that is when field programs run. Position runs through November 2026.
This position is open to candidates based in Georgia or North Carolina. Some in-person work is expected, though a fully remote arrangement is possible depending on the district.
