at Grossman Solutions
🏢 About Grossman Solutions
Grossman Solutions operates Battleground Alliance, a unique organization focused on building coalitions and driving strategic voter engagement across congressional districts with an ambitious $50 million fundraising goal. What makes this company distinctive is its dual focus on grassroots organizing at the district level while leveraging national organizational resources, creating a powerful bridge between local campaigns and broader progressive movements. Someone might want to work here to be part of a high-impact organization that combines data-driven strategy with authentic community engagement in battleground areas.
About This Role
As Deputy National Director Partner Outreach Engagement, you'll develop and implement a comprehensive strategic plan for national partner engagement, serving as the critical connector between district-level campaigns and national organizational resources. This role is impactful because you'll directly enable grassroots organizing efforts by mapping partners, designing engagement systems, and ensuring alignment between field operations and leadership priorities. Your work will help scale progressive organizing efforts across multiple congressional districts.
💡 A Day in the Life
A typical day might involve mapping current and prospective national partners in Airtable, then collaborating with the Data & Tech team to refine partner engagement workflows. You'd likely have check-ins with the Field Director to connect district campaign needs with organizational resources, followed by preparing materials for Strategic Council meetings. The role balances system design with relationship management, ensuring partners are effectively engaged to support battleground district organizing.
