The Kansas Democratic Party (KDP) is building durable, year‑round organizing infrastructure to elect Democrats up and down the ballot. This role is responsible for strengthening local party capacity, expanding Democratic presence in every county, and building partnerships and programs that increase turnout.

The Year‑Round Organizing Director will design and lead KDP’s statewide organizing strategy that empowers county parties (including recruiting and launching county parties where none exist), precinct committee people, and constituency caucuses to reach voters and grow volunteer leadership. The Director will also build and manage key stakeholder partnerships (labor, community organizations, civic and faith leaders, allied groups) to expand KDP’s reach and turn out voters.

This position blends coalition/relationship management, local political intelligence, and strategic planning with hands‑on organizing systems, training, and performance management. The work is metrics‑driven and relies on strong distributed leadership, relational organizing, and effective use of voter data tools. This is a permanent, non‑cycle‑based position.

• Build and execute a statewide local capacity plan to strengthen county parties, precinct committee people, and constituency caucuses through clear goals, training, and ongoing coaching.

• Identify counties with limited or no functional party infrastructure;
  recruit local leadership
  , support re‑launch efforts, and establish sustainable organizing routines (meetings, voter contact, volunteer onboarding, leadership roles).

• Create toolkits and training pathways for local leaders (planning calendars, voter contact models, volunteer ladder of engagement, event/run‑of‑show templates, leadership development plans).

• Serve as a consistent liaison between KDP and local party organizations—ensuring local leaders have the systems and support to execute voter engagement plans.

• Train and support local party leaders on Vote Builder/VAN basics and best practices (targeting, lists, universes, data hygiene, tracking).

• Manage account creation and support requests within Vote Builder.

• Establish program dashboards and reporting cadences; analyze results and adjust tactics to meet growth and voter contact milestones.

• Where appropriate, integrate digital/distributed organizing tactics and tools into the volunteer program.

• Design and manage a year‑round voter contact program that includes volunteer recruitment, persuasion, registration support where applicable, and GOTV readiness.

• Build a distributed volunteer leadership model (captains/team leads), including recruitment, training, coaching, and accountability.

• Develop scalable systems for volunteer onboarding, training, turf/shift management, and follow‑up that local parties can maintain.

• Develop and manage relationships with key stakeholders to expand reach and mobilization capacity (labor, advocacy organizations, community‑based organizations, civic groups, faith communities).

• Coordinate shared turnout and engagement opportunities with aligned partners, including joint events, community meetings, and mobilizations.

• Track stakeholder landscape, identify opportunities and risks, and provide timely political intelligence to KDP senior staff.

• If/when applicable, hire, train, and manage regional staff/organizers and/or organizing contractors; implement clear benchmarks and accountability systems.

• Collaborate closely with Data, Operations, Communications,…
