About The Outreach Team

The Outreach Team is a premier national field firm. We partner with organizations working to solve some of the biggest problems facing our society -- from protecting human rights to fighting climate change -- and help them build the resources they need to make an impact. We are a people-powered enterprise; our campaigns are effective because we hire diverse teams of talented people, invest in our staff, and treat them well.

We are hiring a Lead Director to lead our office in Prince William County, Virginia. The Lead Director will recruit, train, and manage a team of local canvassers to contact voters with Planned Parenthood Virginia PAC. Additionally, the Lead Campaign Director will manage a team of one or more Deputy Directors, and will be responsible for building an office to scale from the ground up. The Lead Director position reports to the Project Director.

We’re working to ensure that everyone can live, thrive, and raise families in healthy communities. When people can make decisions about their own reproductive health care, they have more control over their economic security, their health and well-being, and can build the future they see for themselves.

Politicians have no business interfering with private health care decisions. We’re fighting to stop this government intrusion and put the power back in the hands of the people.

We are hiring immediately. This position will run through November 4th, 2025, with opportunities to extend.

Locations: Prince William County, VA. Strong preference for in-state candidates, short-term travel may be required.
