An incumbent, progressive candidate for an at-large City Council seat in the Greater Boston Area is seeking a Campaign Manager. You will work directly with the candidate, staff the candidate at city events and debates, with going door-to-door and other public events, and with making phone calls. You will also be responsible for helping to grow and manage the volunteer base. The ideal candidate has past experience working on campaigns and is very well-organized. A successful candidate will be comfortable working campaign hours, greeting voters with the candidate in the early mornings, and does not mind some of the less glamorous aspects of campaign work (i.e., phone calls, canvassing, data entry). This is an excellent opportunity for those looking to establish their campaign and political credentials. Sense of humor and ability to roll with the punches is appreciated!
