As a Campaign Director, you will be a part of building a Fair Share Alliance organization in your community and raising the profile of our issues to make a real impact in the lives of your friends, family and neighbors. Specifically, you will run a local campaign office to conduct grassroots fundraising, build membership for Fair Share Alliance and support for our issues, turn out voters for the elections and keep the heat on the 1% in the media. We are NOW HIRING for offices across the country to work on these projects for just the summer or as a career. We’re looking for people who work hard, communicate well, and are committed to positive social change. Campaign Directors earn $23,750 in their first year and $24,250 in their second year. Benefits include college loan assistance, two weeks paid vacation, paid holidays and paid sick days. Campaign Directors are also eligible to opt into one of our state health coverage plans.
