State Field Director

AOTF runs paid canvassing and ballot-access programs across multiple states. We are hiring in-state State Field Directors to lead these programs on the ground; relocation is required.

About the role

Each director owns a paid canvass program of 20-plus canvassers, with room to grow, and is responsible for meeting door-count and quality targets on a tight timeline. The role combines team management with operational discipline: recruiting and directing a field team while maintaining the integrity of the data it produces. Placement depends on the program.

Responsibilities

• Lead day-to-day operations of a paid canvass program of 20+ canvassers
• Hire, train, and manage canvassers and team leads
• Build and own the program's staffing plan: set canvasser schedules, determine coverage, and verify canvasser hours daily
• Enforce data quality and field integrity standards, including spot-checks and fraud prevention
• Set and hold daily and weekly production goals; track performance and course-correct
• Work alongside our operations team to manage recruitment and supply logistics
• Report program numbers to AOTF leadership on a daily cadence
• Other duties as the program requires

Requirements

• 2+ cycles of field experience
• Experience managing a field team; experience managing managers preferred
• Track record of meeting metric-driven goals on deadline
• Proficient with VAN/Votebuilder and standard field tools
• Composed and decisive under the pressure of a live program
• Willing to relocate; valid driver's license and access to a vehicle

Pay

$6,500 to $7,500 per month

Benefits

• Health benefits
• Mileage reimbursements
• Monthly phone reimbursement for work-related use, up to $100/mo

Schedule

Full-time. Because you are directing a field team that works evenings and weekends, your hours will track the program and regularly fall outside a standard workday. Position runs through November 2026.

This position will be based in North Carolina and requires in-person presence. Candidate must be in, or willing to relocate to, the area. Reports to: Director of Field Operations.
