Job Description
Help us register voters in Pennsylvania!
The New Pennsylvania Project is seeking an experienced Regional Organizing Director to lead our voter registration in PA's Capital Region (Dauphin and Cumberland Counties, PA).
We are hiring immediately for this position, which is full-time, exempt, and in-person. This role does not end this fall - we hope to keep our full organizing team on through 2023 and beyond.
The New Pennsylvania Project (NPP) was founded in May 2021 to expand Pennsylvania’s electorate so it reflects the Commonwealth’s demographically changing population. In the next four years, NPP will engage and empower young residents and those living in underrepresented and often neglected communities of color and immigrant communities. We will register them to vote, provide education about the issues that matter in their neighborhoods, and mobilize people to vote in every election - twice a year.
Our Regional Organizing Directors will work within an aggressive organizing and paid canvassing program. The RODs will be responsible for recruiting, training, and managing teams of volunteers, executing the statewide field plan, organizing, and supervising a volunteer operation within his/her assigned regions. Responsibilities may grow to include managing a regional team and a paid canvass operation. Regional Organizing Directors will report directly to the Director of Organizing.
Because our target communities and colleagues come from a wide range of backgrounds, this position needs to be able to thoughtfully navigate issues related to diversity, race, equity and inclusion, and bring a deep commitment to advancing these values.
Successful RODs will be skilled at managing both paid staff and volunteers, building relationships with community groups and leaders, and overseeing reporting and compliance for their team. RODs will also play a key role in recruiting and selecting new team members, and coaching their direct reports. Experience with Votebuilder, access to reliable transportation, and a willingness to work irregular hours are all requirements for this position.
Salaries will range between $45,000 and $55,000 per year, paid weekly, commensurate with experience. Benefits include: 100% employer-paid healthcare, generous PTO/vacation time, and an employer-matched retirement plan.
