Field Director

Patriotic Millionaires is an international organization of high-net-worth Americans advocating for higher taxes on wealth, a living-wage federal floor, and a rebalancing of political power away from the elite donor class. Since 2022, we have run a sustained civic engagement program in Columbus County, North Carolina built across party lines. In 2025 we ran "Flood the Red Zone," a ten-week paid-media and field effort across eastern North Carolina, with a heavy presence at the NC Yam Festival, Pecan Festival, and other local events. The 2026 program builds on that foundation and operationalizes voters around our Money Agenda.

We are contracting a Field Director to run a ground operation in Columbus County and beyond through the November 2026 general election.

Responsibilities

• Hire, onboard, supervise, coach, and manage a team of 5 to 10 part-time paid canvassers;
• Recruit and retain a volunteer corps; convert existing “Deciders” participants and allied contacts into sustained field capacity;
• Build and execute a weekly field plan across door-to-door canvassing, phone banks, text banks, county fairs and festivals, radio, and digital media;
• Own turf cuts, quotas, reporting, and performance management;
• Manage day-to-day operational spending (event supplies, refreshments, canvasser payroll); larger buys route through the NC Director;
• Close the loop between the field and the national program; relay what is landing with voters, what is not, and what is surfacing at the doors that the lobbying and networking side should hear.
  
   

Who We Are Looking For

• One to three prior cycles of campaign or organizing experience i.e. enough to run a program without ramp-up but not so much that you've absorbed the assumption that places like Columbus County are unwinnable;
• Demonstrated supervisory experience, including documented performance management and involuntary terminations;
• Fluency with standard field tooling (VAN, Scale to Win or equivalent, Ecanvasser, basic spreadsheets);
• Fluency in Google Suite;
• Hailing from Columbus County or the immediate region strongly preferred;
• Comfortable with a political posture that does not map onto the standard national-brand playbook - neither consultant-class Democrat nor typical advocacy nonprofit.

Contractor must supply: valid driver's license, reliable personal vehicle, personal smartphone, availability for evenings and weekends.
