About Contest Every Race (CER) Contest Every Race is on a mission to make Democrats competitive everywhere, and we do that by building durable political power from the ground up. We are the leading rural down-ballot recruitment and county-level organizing program for the Democratic ecosystem. Our recruitment program runs in 40 states, and our county-level organizing program includes 390 counties across the country. We pride ourselves on providing measurable results. A 2024 experiment demonstrated an increase of over 5,000 votes for Democrats at the top of the ticket thanks to our programs. About the Program This role will build and manage Movement Labs' distributed Neighborhood Captains program. The goal of the program is to test whether we can scale the concept of neighborhood captains (similar to traditional precinct captains) in a distributed, yet additive, way, supporting hundreds of county parties across the country to move vote share and ultimately flip several congressional seats. This is a localized Field Persuasion Program. We will recruit volunteer captains across hundreds of districts, each of whom will own a list of roughly 50 voters. Captains will live in the same community as the voters they're reaching, making contact with them a number of times before the election. Who We're Looking For We're looking for a digital organizer, someone who is scrappy and digitally creative, comfortable and familiar with digital tools, and who genuinely enjoys finding bespoke, creative ways to daisy-chain systems together to solve problems and get results. This is a digital person at their core, someone who has learned to organize through technology and systems, not a field organizer who has simply picked up Zoom or WhatsApp along the way. This person keeps momentum going and thrives under the pressure of a campaign environment with tough, tight deadlines. This role directly manages a training manager, who owns training and the front-of-house captain experience. You will personally design and own the program’s digital infrastructure (onboarding flows, communication cadences, and data systems) and ensure there are systems in place to track program health, report on and monitor key metrics, and use data to inform decisions and surface insights to leadership. You'll need experience managing staff in a campaign environment and a genuine enjoyment of fostering a team culture that is inclusive and celebratory. Familiarity with how county Democratic parties typically work, and with the volunteer experience in those settings, is important. Responsibilities Build and manage the distributed Neighborhood Captains program end-to-end, scaling it across hundreds of county parties nationwide. Directly manage a program deputy who owns training and the front-of-house captain and volunteer experience. Design and own the program's digital infrastructure: onboarding flows, communication cadences. Build and maintain systems to track program health, report on key metrics, and monitor performance across the country. Use data to inform decisions and surface insights and recommendations to leadership. Partner with your deputy to recruit, train, and support volunteer captains, each of whom will own a list of roughly 50 voters in their own community. Foster a team culture that is inclusive, celebratory, and built to withstand the pressure of a campaign environment. Find creative solutions to digital issues as they arise to keep the program moving under tight deadlines. Requirements 3–4 years working on political candidate campaigns in digital and/or volunteer management roles. Data fluency & technological proficiency: comfortable working with data managers to interpret outreach metrics and using tracking platforms to identify regional trends or underperformance; able to troubleshoot mobile applications for your team in the field.
