3 weeks ago

Wilmington, United States The Outreach Team Full time

About The Outreach Team

The Outreach Team is a premier national field firm. We partner with organizations working to solve some of the biggest problems facing our society -- from protecting human rights to fighting climate change -- and help them build the resources they need to make an impact. We are a people-powered enterprise; our campaigns are effective because we hire diverse teams of talented people, invest in our staff, and treat them well.

We are hiring Lead & Deputy Directors to manage our offices in Wilmington. Canvass Directors will recruit, train, and manage a team of local canvassers to go door to door, educating constituents on statewide climate policy and building support for a clean economy. Directors will work within their team to build an office to scale from the ground up. All directors are expected to train staff in the field while leading by example themselves; they must also communicate long and short term goals to staff and manage campaign reporting. The Deputy Directors manage field staff and Team Leads and report to the Lead Director.

Climate Power ranked North Carolina in the top six states benefiting from clean energy projects since the Inflation Reduction Act in 2022. However, North Carolina is quickly slipping down the rankings due to bad actors such as Duke Energy who are stalling progress. Our Goal in North Carolina is to get State Senate and House members to defend clean energy progress in the state by giving them confidence that their constituents strongly support the clean economy. We will be building support to defeat the opposition and help get more renewable energy onto the grid, faster.

We are hiring immediately. This position can run through the end of March with opportunities to extend.

Locations: Wilmington, NC. Strong preference for in-state candidates, short-term travel may be required.
