Proudly a Bargaining Unit Position with the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers

The Opportunity:As a Regional Mobilization Manager (RMM), you are the tactical engine of the region. While the Regional Organizing Director sets the strategic vision, you ensure that vision is executed on the ground every single day. You will serve as the "General Deputy" for a specific section of your region, bridging the gap between high-level strategy and daily field operations. You will directly support and coach Field Organizer(s), drive the development of our volunteer Neighborhood Action Teams, and ensure that our voter contact goals turn from numbers on a spreadsheet into knocks on doors. This is a leadership role for an operator who loves the mechanics of organizing and finds joy in turning volunteers into leaders.

The Team:
You will report to the Regional Organizing Director (ROD) and work hand-in-glove with them to manage a portion of the region. You will assist in the day-to-day management of a team of Field Organizers, serving as a primary coach and accountability partner for them. You will help to support building strong volunteer infrastructure that will continue to organize their communities for the long run.

You're our person if:

You are a Tactical Expert. You know exactly what it takes to launch a successful canvass, run a phone bank, or cut turf. You will be able to guide Field Organizers to successfully launch Direct Voter Contact events. You sweat the details so the Field Organizers don't have to.
You focus on "The How." When the ROD says "We need to hit 5,000 doors this weekend," your brain immediately jumps to:How many shifts? Which staging locations? Who is prepping the packets?
You are a Coach. You excel at spotting talent—both in staff and volunteers—and nurturing it. You know how to move a volunteer from "showing up" to "leading the team."
You are resilient and adaptable. Campaign life moves fast. When a venue falls through or a goal shifts, you don't panic—you pivot and solve the problem.
