[Hiring] Canvass Coordinator @Shawmut Services

Role Description

Merrimack is seeking highly motivated candidates for the role of Canvass Coordinator for an innovative canvassing program that will focus on turning out voters across the whole country. Canvass Coordinators will remotely coordinate with a team of Door Knockers, who will go door-to-door speaking with voters in their own communities. Canvass Coordinators will work closely with the Project Director, Data team, and Operations team to meet ambitious canvassing goals, maintain our standards for quality, and oversee payroll management.

Canvass Coordinators must be true self-starters and problem-solvers, and be able to work effectively with a diverse team who come from a variety of backgrounds. We will provide comprehensive job training for new hires and we strongly encourage potential applicants who have the qualified skills for the position to apply, regardless of prior campaign experience.
