About the Campaign:

We’re a people-first, progressive campaign preparing to launch a competitive statewide race in Colorado. We’re building a team that leads with empathy, runs on organization, and shows up every day with dedication for every voter.

• Coalition & Community Engagement: Cultivate relationships with local advocates, community leaders, campus and civic groups; help organize trainings; represent the campaign at community meetings and events.

• Launch Readiness: Support pre-launch infrastructure, event logistics for announcement, and rapid volunteer onboarding; help stand up launch location[s] and launch canvassing operations from day one.

• Data & Operations: Track metrics for all organizing activities; maintain clean records in VAN and organizing tools; coordinate materials, turf, and schedules with the larger team.

• Message Discipline: Prepare volunteers for persuasive conversations aligned with campaign messaging; surface field intel and voter feedback to the comms and policy teams to improve targeting and narrative.

• Team Culture & Accessibility: Model empathy in every interaction; ensure welcoming, safe spaces for volunteers and voters, and uphold equity and inclusion in staffing and outreach.
