• Identify, recruit, and onboard new local partners to strengthen district capacity and reach
• Manage district field coordination, including turf planning, calendars, and coordination across partners and field teams
• Oversee day-to-day field execution, ensuring activities are well-organized, strategic, and compliant
• Supervise and support district-based field staff and organizers, as applicable
• Elevate district insights and partner feedback to the Regional District Desk and national leadership
Required Qualifications
