All on the Field (AOTF) runs paid canvassing and ballot-access programs across multiple states. We are hiring a State Field Director to lead our 2026 Mississippi canvass program across DeSoto County, North Mississippi, and the Delta.
The director owns the full canvass program across both regions and is responsible for meeting door-count and quality targets on a tight timeline. The role combines senior team management with program building: hiring and directing a management layer of Regional Field Directors and team leads, building and running the program's training, and maintaining the integrity of the data the program produces. Much of this turf is rural, with sites spread across long distances and limited local labor pools, and we are looking for a director with direct experience running field programs in that environment. This is an in-state position; relocation is required.
