Regional Field Organizer - Salem/Eugene
- Equity
- Pension
As a Regional Field Organizer, you’ll build relationships with supporters, volunteers, voters, community partners, and advocates throughout your assigned region.
This is hands-on organizing work. You’ll spend time both developing long-term relationships and mobilizing people when action is needed.
On a typical week, you might:
- Recruit, train, and lead volunteers and advocates
- Build relationships with community members, supporters, voters, and grassroots partners
- Organize voter engagement and community mobilization efforts
- Lead phone banks, canvasses, rallies, visibility events, tabling, grassroots lobbying, and other field activities
- Mobilize supporters around local, state, and federal policy priorities
- Collaborate with coalition partners on reproductive health, reproductive justice, and cross-movement work
- Grow PPAO’s supporter base through community outreach and constituency organizing
- Help develop volunteers into leaders who can organize and mobilize others
- Maintain accurate supporter and organizing data
- Respond quickly when political or community developments require rapid mobilization
The current JD puts the greatest emphasis onvolunteer leadership and grassroots relationship-building (50%), followed by voter engagement and mobilization work (30%), so I’d intentionally keep those at the center of the posting rather than making this sound like a generic political office job.
Schedule & Location
This is afull-time, hybrid position (40 hours/week) serving theSalem/Eugene region and surrounding communities.
Standard schedule: Monday–Friday, generally9:30am–6:00pm, with flexibility required for evening and weekend organizing activities, events, and other community-based work.
Where You’ll Work
This position may be based out of either:
- PPCW’s Salem location, or
- PPSO’s Franklin office in Eugene, Oregon
Your assigned office will be determined based on your home location. The position follows ahybrid schedule with two days per week working from your assigned office, with other work performed remotely or in the community based on organizing needs.
Remote work must be performed within Oregon or Washington.
This is a field-based organizing position, soregular travel throughout the assigned region is an essential part of the job. The JD anticipates frequent travel within the region, along with occasional travel elsewhere in Oregon and infrequent national travel. A valid driver’s license, current auto insurance, and reliable transportation are required.
Bilingual Spanish preferred.
