JOB DESCRIPTION

Field Organizers

The Maine Democratic Party (MDP) is looking for Field Organizers to execute daily voter outreach to help defeat the voter suppression referendum that is on Maine’s ballot this November. This includes knocking on doors, phonebanking and engaging community members about the stakes of the 2025 referendum. No prior political or campaign experience is required—we are especially interested in applicants with service industry, customer service, or community-based work backgrounds. We are hiring organizers in the following counties: ** Aroostook, Hancock, Penobscot, Kennebec, Androscoggin, Cumberland, and York.**

About the Role

This is an opportunity to be on the front lines of one of the most important fights in Maine this year. Field Organizers will be responsible for talking directly to voters every day—by phone and at the doors—to help defeat a dangerous referendum that would make it harder for Mainers to vote. You'll be part of a hardworking, passionate team fighting for our democracy, working in the field across your assigned region. This job is ideal for someone with great people skills, a strong work ethic, and a passion for making a difference in their community. This position reports to MDP’s Field Director to start and is a full-time position through the second week of November 2025 with the opportunity to continue working at MDP if the circumstances allow.

Key Responsibilities

• Conduct daily direct voter contact through door-to-door canvassing and phone calls.

• Meet daily and weekly voter contact goals for conversations and data tracking.

• Represent the campaign in your community and serve as the face of our voter outreach program.

• Enter data promptly and accurately after each voter interaction in-line with the best practices established by the MDP’s Field Director.

• Work closely with the Field Director and other organizers to share updates and collaborate on regional strategy.

• Travel frequently within your assigned county and occasionally to nearby areas as needed.

• Assist with events, visibility, and GOTV efforts as the election approaches.

Qualifications

• Strong interpersonal skills and enthusiasm for talking with people.

• Ability to work independently and as part of a team.

• Commitment to the values of the Democratic Party and protecting voting rights.

• Willingness to work weekends when needed.

• Reliable transportation and willingness to travel daily within your assigned county or region.

• Previous campaign, organizing, or community experience is a plus, but not required.

• Experience in customer service, retail, food service, or other people-facing roles is highly valued.

How to Apply

Please send your cover letter and resume to [email protected] with “Field Organizer - ” in the subject line. Applications will be accepted on a rolling basis. Relocation assistance is available if needed.

This is a full-time, temporary position through November 2025, paid at $22/hour, with overtime eligibility. This position includes a full benefits package and is part of the Maine Democratic Party’s bargaining unit, represented by the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local #1837.
