How to Apply for Regional Organizing Director

at Always United LLC

๐Ÿข About Always United LLC

Always United LLC is a mission-driven organization focused on electing pro-worker candidates to Congress through innovative, data-driven voter mobilization. They combine grassroots organizing with advanced analytics, offering a unique opportunity to work at the intersection of labor advocacy and cutting-edge campaign technology.

About This Role

As Regional Organizing Director, you will build and lead a team of paid canvassers across multiple Congressional districts, executing data-driven outreach plans to educate and mobilize voters. Your work directly impacts the success of pro-worker candidates, making this role pivotal in shaping the future of labor-friendly legislation.

๐Ÿ’ก A Day in the Life

Start the day by reviewing field metrics from yesterday across all districts, then lead a morning check-in with canvassers via video call. Midday involves analyzing data to adjust targeting or turf assignments, followed by one-on-one coaching calls with underperforming team members. Evenings might include recruiting new canvassers or preparing reports for senior leadership.

๐ŸŽฏ Who Always United LLC Is Looking For

  • Has at least 2 cycles of experience managing field teams on competitive statewide or congressional campaigns, with a proven track record of hitting metrics.
  • Is an expert in NGP/VAN, able to train others on data entry, targeting, and reporting, and can design field plans using voter contact data.
  • Possesses strong analytical skills to interpret data and adjust strategies in real-time, plus excellent communication for coaching canvassers and reporting to leadership.
  • Is deeply committed to pro-labor values and social justice, and thrives in a fast-paced, irregular-hours environment typical of campaign cycles.

๐Ÿ“ Tips for Applying to Always United LLC

1

Quantify your field management experience: include specific metrics like number of canvassers managed, doors knocked, or voter contacts achieved per cycle.

2

Showcase your NGP/VAN expertise by mentioning any advanced features you've used (e.g., script building, turf cutting, or custom reports) and how you've trained others.

3

Highlight your data-driven decision-making: provide an example of how you used data to improve a field program or reallocate resources.

4

Tailor your cover letter to emphasize your passion for pro-worker candidates and labor issuesโ€”mention specific unions or labor policies you support.

5

If you have experience working remotely or managing distributed teams, highlight that, as this role is fully remote and requires coordinating across districts.

โœ‰๏ธ What to Emphasize in Your Cover Letter

["Express genuine commitment to electing pro-worker candidates and advancing labor rights, connecting your personal values to the company's mission.", "Detail your field management experience with specific numbers (e.g., 'managed 50+ canvassers across 3 districts, increasing voter contact by 20%').", 'Demonstrate your data proficiency by describing how you used NGP/VAN to track progress and optimize outreach.', 'Show that you understand the challenges of remote work and have strategies for keeping teams motivated and accountable from a distance.']

3 Describe your experience with turf-cutting and targeting specific voter universes. Can you give an example of a successful targeting strategy?

โš ๏ธ Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't submit a generic resume without tailoring it to field management and campaign cyclesโ€”include relevant campaign roles and metrics.
  • Avoid downplaying the importance of data skills; even if you're strong on relationships, emphasize your comfort with NGP/VAN and analytics.
