Position Overview:

We’re hiring a Chinese Organizer to lead our outreach and organizing efforts in Chinese-speaking communities, with a particular focus on door-to-door engagement, volunteer recruitment, and turnout. This role is central to the campaign’s mission to engage all corners of the district and build a broad, multilingual coalition against the recall. The ideal candidate will be a strong relationship builder, a hard worker, and fluent in ** Mandarin or Cantonese**.

• Translate campaign materials or coordinate with translation services as needed

• Provide input on field strategy to ensure language and cultural inclusion

• Support broader field team goals and collaborate with other organizers and staff

Qualifications:

• Fluency in ** Mandarin or Cantonese** required (both preferred)

• Political or campaign experience is ** preferred but not required** — this could be a great opportunity for someone looking to break into politics

• Experience working in or with Chinese American communities in San Francisco is a plus

• Strong interpersonal skills and ability to build trust in multicultural communities

• Commitment to progressive values and fighting anti-democratic recall efforts

• Familiarity with voter contact tools like PDI or VAN is helpful, but not required

• Ability to work irregular hours and many weekend events
