JOBS OFF THE HILL
MoveOn:
National Field Organizer Job Description
Location: Flexible
Goal: MoveOn National Field Organizers will build and develop the massive grassroots network we need to
win Obama's agenda for progressive change. By combining traditional person‐to‐person organizing, scalable
online organizing, and intensive leadership development, we're creating a new model of grassroots
mobilization. It's volunteer‐driven, staff‐lean and exceptionally powerful. Our small team of staff organizers
will be at the center of creating and driving our organizing program and will have a chance to make a major
impact in a key year.
Background: With nearly 5 million members, MoveOn is uniquely situated to organize for real progressive
change. In the coming year, MoveOn will organize a massive campaign to help President‐elect Barack
Obama pass progressive legislation to end the Iraq war, win health care for all Americans, address the
climate crisis, and move to a green‐jobs economy. The backbone of this effort will be the MoveOn
Councils—a national network of committed, trained volunteer leaders and teams. Nationally, there are
16,000 active leaders organized into nearly 200 city‐wide Councils. Over the next year, MoveOn
Council volunteers will organize rallies, vigils, protests, petitions, district meetings, and other creative tactics.
Our actions will back up Barack Obama and win big on national issues. As a National Field Organizer with
MoveOn, no two days will be the same. You’re responsible for harnessing and expanding the power of the
MoveOn Council volunteer network. That means on any given day you might be working one‐on‐one with
one of the most dedicated MoveOn leaders in the country; organizing events in multiple states as part of a
national day of action to support Barack Obama’s progressive agenda; or training a new progressive leader
about how to organize their own community.
Responsibilities:
* Expanding and strengthening our Council network. You'll work with the Councils that already exist in your
region and then work on building more in the places where MoveOn members aren’t currently organized.
* Developing new leaders. Our model only works if we have great leaders. You’ll be part of building our
leadership development model and bringing new members into our organizing.
* Trainings. To increase our volunteers' skills level, you'll be running trainings over the phone and in person.
You’ll also help create new trainings focused on the needs of volunteers in your region.
* Rapid response. When news breaks, our network needs to respond immediately. Whether it's rallies or
house parties, you'll make sure your region responds forcefully when we need to spring into action.
Skills and experience:
* At least 2–3 years of grassroots organizing experience (or related experience).
* Excellent leadership development skills. You should be ready to do what it takes to turn someone into
a great leader.
* A strong self‐starter, entrepreneurial. You don’t need someone to tell you what to do, and you have new
ideas on how to make things work even better.
* A good manager. You’ll be managing a team of volunteer organizers and will need to be ready to support
their work and solve problems creatively.
* Hard worker. You can work flexible hours and manage your time independently.
You know that saving the world doesn’t just happen between 9 and 5.
* Comfortable with a virtual office. You are fine working at a distance with dozens of colleagues scattered
around the country.
* Willing to do what it takes to make a project come off‐‐low ego, high focus on getting stuff done.
* Comfortable with technology and spending lots of time on the phone.
Salary: Salary is highly competitive, from $40,000 to $50,000 a year. Also includes health & dental
insurance, generous vacation, and other benefits.
To Apply: Go to http://pol.moveon.org/organizer. Application process is rolling.
