Grassroots Engagement Director

MN United States Stand Together Full time

Americans for Prosperity (AFP) is the premier grassroots organization focused on advocating solutions to the country’s greatest challenges. We recognize that tens of millions of Americans are frustrated with the extreme partisanship in government that keeps common-sense reforms from being passed, and instead seek to stand with policy leaders who are committed to finding a better way.

Americans for Prosperity is part of the Stand Together philanthropic community.

The Grassroots Engagement Director will identify, recruit, and engage grassroots leaders in Minnesota, mobilize them to take action, and drive policy reforms that open opportunities for all.

What You Will Do:
  • Identify activists in various parts of the state who are currently – or could become – leaders in their local communities, as elected officials or citizen organizers and motivate them to advocate for change.
  • Equip these local leaders to advocate for changes that are consistent with principles AFP believes in. You will do this, in part, by connecting them to the training and other resources of AFP.
  • Organize events where you and other activists can engage the public through phone calls, social media, walking through neighborhoods to talk with people face-to-face. You’ll also be free to innovate, by creating fun or unique ways to reach people to educate them on public policy issues and initiatives.
  • Ensure that AFP stays in regular contact with our activists to keep them motivated, educated, and active.
What You Will Bring:
  • You care about people and are able to build relationships quickly with people from all walks of life and understand how to inspire and motivate them.
  • You have knowledge of state and federal public policy landscapes.
  • You are self-motivated, always looking for the best way to use your time to accomplish objectives.
  • You are organized, able to keep multiple events and activities on track for yourself and the people you engage to help you.
  • You work well with a team of people, including AFP staff and activists you engage.
  • You are ready and willing to canvass neighborhoods and make phone calls for AFP priority initiatives and AFP Action endorsed candidates, as well as motivate and coordinate volunteers to do the same.
  • You have a valid driver's license to be able to travel as needed to meet with people in your area and across the state, as needed.
  • You're able and willing to work a flexible and changing work schedule, including evenings and weekends as needed.
Standout Candidates Will Bring:
  • Experience in grassroots advocacy and/or community organizing.
  • Experience in political campaigns.
  • Experience in supervising staff and/or volunteers.
What We Offer:
  • Competitive benefits including: 6% 401(k) match with immediate vest, flexible time off policy, health and dental plan options, and free access to wellness services through Peloton and Talkspace.
  • A meaningful career and a passionate community of over 1,300 employees dedicated to improving the lives of others.
  • Opportunities for professional development and mentorship based on the value you create, not the amount of time you’ve been here.
  • Competitive salaries and bonus opportunity. Our compensation approach is aligned to the value you create, not a standardized bell curve.
Our Values:

Working at Stand Together is different from many other organizations. Our culture is deeply rooted in Principle Based Management (PBM), a framework guided by the principles that drive human progress, such as dignity, openness, and bottom-up empowerment. PBM empowers our employees to be entrepreneurial, to innovate, and to continually drive transformation.

We believe diversity fuels creativity, broadens knowledge, and helps drive success, and that is why we’re proud to be an Equal Opportunity Employer and strive to treat all employees and applicants with honesty, dignity, respect and sensitivity.
