Maine Gun Safety Coalition: Field Director

Maine Gun Safety Coalition:
Field Director

The Maine Gun Safety Coalition, a 501.c.4 nonprofit organization, is a leading and trusted voice in Maine advocating for evidence-based, common sense gun safety legislation, at the state and federal levels. We advocate for responsible gun ownership and operate under the belief that gun ownership and gun responsibility go hand in hand, and are not at odds with each other. Our expertise, credibility, working relationships, and history of success make us a trusted partner in these efforts.

Our Coalition includes dozens of organizations and hundreds of volunteers from across the state who have marched, rallied, written letters, made phone calls, and collected signatures to advocate for gun safety in Maine. We have the capacity to turn people power into real change.

We are seeking a Field Director to engage these volunteers in voter outreach to support gun safety champion candidates as part of a statewide independent expenditure campaign.

Tasks and duties:

• Engage existing MGSC volunteers and recruit new ones to perform voter outreach via phone-banking, texting, canvassing, tabling, and writing letters to the editor
• Help lead trainings for volunteers
• Track volunteer outreach metrics and provide timely reports to MGSC staff
• Ensure outreach is tracked within Every Action and VAN
• Work with coalition organizations to help them reach out to their membership to spread the word by calls, emails and texts to get volunteers
• Keep coalition organizations and volunteers updated on the campaign

This will be a two month contract position running from September through Election Day on November 10. Salary range is $4000-$5000/month. Experience with NGPVAN and associated tools required, and experience with Scale to Win and similar outreach tools is preferred. Reliable transportation and computer access required.
