About the organizations

Vote Rev is a PAC that designs and quickly mainstreams field-tested voter engagement innovations to help Democrats win. Its sister organization, Vote Rev Action Fund (VRAF), works with and for nonprofits that amplify the power of historically disenfranchised communities. The two organizations design prototypes of new voter and civic engagement tactics, refine promising early-stage ideas, and then stress test those ideas, subjecting them to randomized controlled trials. Through this work, they develop new tactics to mobilize hard-to-reach voters.

In 2026, Vote Rev and VRAF will each run programs layering multiple friend-to-friend GOTV tactics simultaneously — ensuring voters in mission-aligned geographies hear from people they know, through multiple channels, in the final stretch before Election Day. They will also pilot newer ideas with the potential to be game-changing in 2028.

Vote Rev and Vote Rev Action Fund have a shared staffing structure, and this role serves both organizations. Vote Rev and VRAF are based in Los Angeles, CA, with employees nationwide. We are dedicated to creating an organization that reflects the diversity of the country we serve. We strongly encourage women, people of color, and others who are underrepresented in campaigns and voter engagement nonprofits to apply.

Note: Due to the nature of our work we are unable to hire any individuals who aren’t U.S. Citizens, Legal Permanent Residents (Green Card holders), or DACA recipients. By applying to this role, you are acknowledging that you are a U.S. Citizen, DACA recipient, or current Legal Permanent Resident.

About the opportunity

The Manager, Organizing and Partnerships will serve as a key relationship manager and field expert, driving partner adoption of Vote Rev and Vote Rev Action Fund’s (VRAF's) tactics and ensuring high-fidelity implementation across a portfolio of partner organizations. This role combines hands-on partner support — training, coaching, troubleshooting — with internal systems work to track partner relationship health and program quality. The Manager will report to the Director, Organizing and Partnerships. 

Success in this role means ensuring that thousands of canvassers are implementing relational GOTV tactics designed and tested by Vote Rev and VRAF—site-based relational postcards and site-based vote tripling — with high fidelity, producing millions of voter contacts and netting thousands of votes in key geographies before Election Day 2026.

A strong candidate brings:

• At least 5 years of relevant field program experience, including meaningful time on electoral campaigns or with allied organizations
• Skill at cultivating strong, trust-based relationships with external partners and stakeholders
• Enthusiasm for providing progressive organizations with end-to-end implementation support — goal setting, hands-on training, and technical assistance
• Solid project management skills and a track record of keeping complex logistics on track
• A scrappy, solutions-oriented mindset and willingness to roll up their sleeves to get the job done

Responsibilities

• Partner relationship management. Own a portfolio of partner relationships. Support the Director with partner intake, maintenance, and troubleshooting. Directly manage local partners, serving as their primary point of contact for implementation support.
• Partner training. Lead partners in building tactical fluency through training, direct coaching, and office hours. Manage the training calendar and content, adapting materials to meet partners’ needs and contexts.
• Inbound request management. Manage inbound requests from campaigns and organizations. Triage and support as needed, and surface common needs and patterns to the Director.
• Resource development. Help develop and maintain implementation resources — 1-pagers, guides, training materials, and volunteer resources — in line with research-informed best practices. Identify gaps based on partner input and oversee timely updates as best practices evolve.
• Data management. Use internally agreed-upon systems to manage partner data accurately and in a timely manner. Support partners in data collection and reporting.
• Tech platform expertise. Stay current with changes across key text, phone, and canvassing platforms (e.g., Reach, Impactive). Manage updates to Vote Rev’s platform-specific implementation recommendations.
• Administrative and operational support. Prepare and distribute tactical resources and internal documentation. Take partner call notes, manage meeting agendas, proofread team reports and write-ups, and maintain goal-tracking systems.
• Research contribution. Contribute to organization-wide research through field work and cross-departmental collaboration, bringing a partner-oriented lens to the work.
• Special projects. Work on special projects as assigned.

Requirements for the role

• Campaign experience. At least 5 years of relevant work experience, including at least 3 years working for or with electoral campaigns or movement organizations (electoral campaign, paid canvassing, or allied organization preferred).
• Training experience. Demonstrated experience providing trainings to partners, canvass leads, or canvassers. Comfortable leading medium-to-large group trainings (20–100 people) in a political or organizing context.
• Relationship management. Able to build trust, demonstrate credibility, and communicate effectively with external stakeholders and internal team members. Experience managing a portfolio of professional relationships with partners, vendors, or clients.
• Field expertise. First-hand experience executing direct voter contact tactics — canvassing, texting, phonebanking — and a working understanding of how progressive organizations conduct electoral field work.
• Project management. Demonstrated ability to manage logistics, keep systems current, and follow through on multiple workstreams simultaneously. Proficiency in Google Suite; willingness to learn Slack and Asana.
• Problem solving. Practical and realistic about identifying and implementing solutions when things go wrong in the field. Comfortable with ambiguity and fast-moving situations.
• Research mindset. Eagerness to learn research methods and adapt canvassing practices based on findings. Direct research experience is not required — just curiosity, a growth mindset, and willingness to learn from both successes and failures.
• Communication. Strong verbal communication and emotional intelligence. Comfortable with public speaking and building trust across diverse stakeholder groups.
• Tech fluency. Familiarity with common campaign tech platforms (e.g., VAN, PDI, Hustle, Thrutext, Reach, Spoke, Impactive).

Helpful but not required

• At least one cycle at the Regional Organizing Director level or equivalent
• Experience with voter file data and management systems (VAN, PDI, Reach, Impactive, TargetSmart, Grassroots Unwired, or similar)
• Familiarity with firewalls, time-tracking, and in-kinding as it relates to campaigns
• Experience managing teams, volunteers, coalitions, or partners
• Experience fostering buy-in and building partnerships with local campaigns or mid-size organizations
• Familiarity with relational organizing and relational turnout programs and tactics

General requirements to work at Vote Rev and Vote Rev Action Fund

• Commitment to the missions: 
• Vote Rev: design and quickly mainstream field-tested voter engagement innovations to help Democrats win
• Vote Rev Action Fund: design and quickly mainstream field-tested voter engagement innovations to amplify the power of historically disenfranchised communities

• Cultivate people. We cultivate and invest in our most precious resource: our people. Without our team, our mission would be impossible, and a lot less fun to pursue.
• Yoda, we are. We seek to provide innovations – and the resources necessary to implement them – to our partners, who are the true heroes of this work.
• Problem-oriented, solution-agnostic. We tackle problems that seem insurmountable. We question ourselves and revisit our hypotheses until we find – and improve upon – the right solution.
• Pursue equity. Our mission is to drive toward a more equitable society that dismantles systems of oppression and white supremacy. We strive to create inclusive spaces and processes that honor diverse experiences.
• Cross-pollinate. We build smart, elegant innovations by creating through-lines across disciplines. Our innovations improve with each implementation, as we learn from and share our partners’ insights.
• Ability to thrive in a startup environment: you move quickly, think strategically, are adaptable to changing circumstances, and are good at tactical execution

Reasons to love this role

This isn't a typical organizing job. You'll be working at the intersection of large-scale field organizing, behavioral science research, and program innovation — and what you build this cycle will directly inform how the progressive movement runs relational programs in 2028 and beyond.

Vote Rev and VRAF have a unique model: we design tactics, test them rigorously, and then push them into the field at scale through a broad partner network. In this Manager role, you won't just implement — you'll help shape how our tactics evolve in real time, with partners informing the work as it happens.

You'll also be joining a small, high-trust team that values direct feedback, autonomy, and learning from both successes and failures. We move fast, we take the work (but not ourselves!) seriously, and we believe that how we do the work matters as much as what we accomplish.

If you want to spend this election cycle doing work that is genuinely experimental, high-impact, and grounded in evidence — this is the role.
