All on the Field (AOTF) runs paid canvassing and ballot-access programs across multiple states. We are hiring a Deputy Field Director for our 2026 Mississippi canvass program across DeSoto County, North Mississippi, and the Delta.
This position sits between the Regional Field Directors and the State Field Director.
