ABOUT THE ROLE
In 2024, Relentless is running a first-of-its-kind compensated relational program at scale across battleground states using Rally. This program will hire 20,000+ low turnout voters to become relational organizers in their communities and turn their friends and families out to vote.
Relentless programs specialize in activating low-turnout, high-opportunity voter communities who are often difficult to reach via traditional electoral voter contact methods – which means we need to think outside the box and work creatively to leverage a variety of tactics, including tactics from sectors outside of the political space. We’re looking for an entrepreneurial Recruitment Director to own the design and execution of our 2024 recruitment strategy.
The Recruitment Director is a trailblazing role that will be responsible for developing and implementing a comprehensive, multi-channel recruitment strategy to meet our ambitious recruitment goals. This strategic role involves managing a seven figure recruitment budget, owning the recruitment process from planning to execution, and leveraging data to optimize recruitment efforts. We’re looking for a creative problem solver who, even if they don’t have expertise in all of the program areas, can recruit and manage a team who does and can creatively problem-solve to accomplish our program goals.
This role might be right for you if you are:
An organizing or digital leader with experience in scaling large projects (marches, activist campaigns, statewide electoral programs)
A business professional with previous experience as a volunteer or paid staffer in political campaigns
A powerhouse digital organizer with field experience who’s ready to take ownership of a multi-state recruitment operation
A marketer with experience creatively reaching under-served communities
