Copper State Victory-- the 2026 Coordinated Campaign to elect Arizona Democrats-- is seeking an Organizing Director to design and implement a comprehensive voter contact program that includes in-person and online activities to be executed by a statewide field team. Arizona is a pivotal battleground state in 2026, from protecting our last line of defense in Governor Katie Hobbs, Secretary of State Adrian Fontes, and Attorney General Kris Mayes to flipping the state Legislature and key red-to-blue congressional seats. Joining the CSV team means being a part of the premier offensive line for Arizona Democrats up and down the ballot.
The Organizing Director will design an innovative program that reaches the voters Democrats need to persuade and turn out in the midterms. CSV is looking for an experienced organizer and manager to spearhead this effort and work with other departments and our partners to execute statewide. This person needs to be creative in their approach, collaborative in their design, and relationship-oriented in their execution.
