The District Lead is a field leadership role responsible for implementing and managing Battleground Alliance’s field program within a priority congressional district. Reporting to a Regional District Desk, District Leads serve as BA’s primary point of contact on the ground — driving local strategy, coalition coordination, and day-to-day field execution to ensure national program goals are translated into effective, locally grounded campaigns.

District Leads are expected to be deeply embedded in their assigned district.

• Convene and lead coalition meetings, planning tables, and work sessions to ensure alignment and shared accountability
• Identify, recruit, and onboard new local partners to strengthen district capacity and reach
• Manage district field coordination, including turf planning, calendars, and coordination across partners and field teams
• Oversee day-to-day field execution, ensuring activities are well-organized, strategic, and compliant
• Supervise and support district-based field staff and organizers, as applicable
• Elevate district insights and partner feedback to the Regional District Desk and national leadership

• Minimum of two complete campaign cycles or 2–4 years of field organizing, campaign, or community-based leadership experience
• Demonstrated experience managing field programs, coalitions, or local campaigns
• Experience in voter engagement, coalition coordination, and turf management
• Familiarity with voter file systems (NGP VAN) and basic field reporting structures
• Strong interpersonal skills with the ability to build trust and credibility locally
• Comfort working in fast-paced environments with shifting priorities
• Experience facilitating meetings, planning sessions, and collaborative work spaces
• Ability to work effectively within a larger national field structure
• Willingness to work nights and weekends as required by campaign timelines
