[Hiring] Distributed Neighborhood Captains Program Manager @Movement Labs

Role Description

This role will build and manage Movement Labs' distributed Neighborhood Captains program. The goal of the program is to test whether we can scale the concept of neighborhood captains (similar to traditional precinct captains) in a distributed, yet additive, way, supporting hundreds of county parties across the country to move vote share and ultimately flip several congressional seats.

This is a localized Field Persuasion Program. We will recruit volunteer captains across hundreds of districts, each of whom will own a list of roughly 50 voters. Captains will live in the same community as the voters they're reaching, making contact with them a number of times before the election.

Responsibilities

• Build and manage the distributed Neighborhood Captains program end-to-end, scaling it across hundreds of county parties nationwide.
• Directly manage a program deputy who owns training and the front-of-house captain and volunteer experience.
• Design and own the program's digital infrastructure: onboarding flows, communication cadences.
• Build and maintain systems to track program health, report on key metrics, and monitor performance across the country.
• Use data to inform decisions and surface insights and recommendations to leadership.
• Partner with your deputy to recruit, train, and support volunteer captains, each of whom will own a list of roughly 50 voters in their own community.
• Foster a team culture that is inclusive, celebratory, and built to withstand the pressure of a campaign environment.
• Find creative solutions to digital issues as they arise to keep the program moving under tight deadlines.

Qualifications

• 3–4 years working on political candidate campaigns in digital and/or volunteer management roles.
• Data fluency & technological proficiency: comfortable working with data managers to interpret outreach metrics and using tracking platforms to identify regional trends or underperformance; able to troubleshoot mobile applications for your team in the field.
• Digitally fluent, fast learner: you pick up new software quickly, think in systems, and are genuinely excited about how digital tools can amplify organizing.
• Project management: you can hold a lot of moving parts, prioritize well under pressure, and know when to ask for help in a fast-moving environment.
• Experience managing staff in a campaign environment.
• Familiarity with how county Democratic parties typically work and the volunteer experience in those settings.
• Comfortable with, and energized by, the pace and pressure of a campaign environment with tough, tight deadlines.
• Preferred: experience on a congressional campaign running a strong field program.

Benefits

• Annual salary of $80,000 (Program Manager, Level 3).
• Work-life stipend of $700/month pre-tax to support employees during our highest-intensity work period, starting August 1 (prorated for partial months).
• Excellent health, dental, and vision benefits; 401(k) matching.
• Remote-first culture with teammates across the country.
• Possible on-call requirements.
• This is a temporary cycle role, running through December 15, 2026.
• This position is eligible for the collective bargaining unit.
