Regional Organizing Director (ROD)

About democracyFIRST

Founded in 2021, democracyFIRST is a cross-partisan and ideologically diverse project dedicated to restoring the political consensus on the central pro-democracy principles underpinning our electoral process. Our mission is to confront the rising anti-democracy movement in America and preserve the future of our democracy. Our electoral programming is specifically designed to confront, isolate, and defeat anti-democracy candidates and elected officials who pose the greatest threat of subverting our elections, particularly those in positions that administer and certify elections at the state level.

democracyFIRST is an affiliated organization of the Progressive Turnout Project (PTP). PTP has a single mission: to rally Democrats to vote. Since 2015, PTP has supported over 2,200 Democrats in competitive campaigns, raised more than $368 million, and deployed nearly 39,000 paid team members who made over 190 million voter contact attempts.

About the Role

We are seeking highly motivated Regional Organizing Directors (RODs) to expand our field program across Nevada for the fall 2026 cycle. As a ROD, you will play a critical role in protecting the administration of our elections for the future by recruiting, training, and managing staff to elect pro-democracy candidates to local positions. You will report directly to the National Field Director and lead operations in campaign offices located in Carson City, Reno, or Minden.

This is a temporary, on-site position running from July 6, 2026, through November 6, 2026. The role demands a flexible, adaptable mindset capable of working independently based on a strategic field plan. You will be expected to work weekends and evenings, particularly during the initial phases and the Get-Out-The-Vote (GOTV) period. Reliable access to transportation is required to effectively manage day-to-day operations and meet the demands of the field.
