Movement Labs is an incubator and consulting firm that uses technology, data, and experimentation to stop fascism and build progressive power. We help progressives win and defeat MAGA extremists through year‑round work grounded in research and real‑world testing. Our team partners with leading advocacy groups, grassroots organizers, and electoral campaigns to develop innovative tactics, win elections, and shift power for the long term.

As the R&D powerhouse for the progressive movement, we’ve run over 100 randomized control trials (RCTs) on voter behavior and helped hundreds of organizations increase their impact. We work hard, and the environment evolves rapidly. We are adaptable, nimble, and shift quickly as needed to meet the moment. We are looking for candidates that thrive in this type of environment.

This is a primarily remote role, with travel to Detroit, Atlanta, Cleveland, Columbus, and Cincinnati likely. Candidates in Michigan or Ohio are a plus.

This is a temporary hire for the 2026 election cycle that will run through November 15, 2026.

Movement Labs is seeking a seasoned movement professional with a strong background in organizing to serve as the Senior Program Manager for our 2026 Neighborhood Captain Program. In this role you will lead the day‑to‑day management of a large (two‑three states, four‑five metro areas) field organizing program as part of a randomized controlled trial aimed at mobilizing tens of thousands of high‑potential voters through relationship building.

This role bridges the gap between high‑level strategy and field execution, ensuring that our data systems, people operations, and training programs work together to deliver an excellent program. In this role you will work closely with members of the program team and experiments team and will manage between two and four individuals.

Provide input on the voter outreach model and help lead both in‑person and virtual training sessions focused on the program’s outreach approach and data tracking systems.

• Quality Control (QC) Architecture:
