IBEW Local 113

Through November 15, 2026

The Colorado Democratic Party is seeking a skilled and experienced Distributed Organizer to join our growing team. 2026 features competitive races up and down the ballot in Colorado, including the election of John Hickenlooper (US Senate), Phil Weiser (Governor), Jena Griswold (Attorney General), Amanda Gonzalez (Secretary of State), and Jeff Bridges (Treasurer), alongside competitive US House races. The Coordinated Campaign will persuade and mobilize voters to support Colorado’s Democrats in November 2026.

Distributed Organizers work statewide rather than in a single assigned turf. Where a Field Organizer is responsible for a defined geographic area, a Distributed Organizer is responsible for a portfolio: college campuses, community and coalition partnerships, volunteer leadership development in the Colorado counties without assigned field staff, and statewide virtual voter contact.

The core product of this role is the volunteer leader. In counties where no staff member is standing, an unpaid local leader running their own team is the program. Distributed Organizers find those people, train them, keep them, and connect them to the campaign's tools, data, and turf. Distributed Organizers also recruit volunteers who live outside targeted turf and connect them to shifts inside it, in coordination with Regional Organizing Directors.

This position reports to the Distributed Organizing Director. Portfolio assignment will be determined based on candidate experience and program need.

• Recruit, train, and retain volunteer leaders in counties without field staff, and support their teams

• Hold ongoing one-on-one meetings with volunteers and prospective leaders, virtually and in person

• Build organizing programs at assigned campuses (student orgs, student government, administration) and run student registration/re-registration

• Build relationships with community, faith, cultural, business, and labor organizations, developing leaders from within them

• Conduct Spanish-language voter contact and recruitment; support bilingual materials and volunteer capacity

• Run statewide virtual phone/text banks open to volunteers in any county

• Drive relational organizing adoption, coaching volunteers through setup and first outreach

• Connect volunteers to shifts in targeted turf with Regional Organizing Directors/Field Organizers

• Deliver trainings on canvassing, phone banking, relational organizing, and leadership

• Maintain accurate data in Vote Builder and Mobilize; report weekly on key metrics

• Travel statewide to launch programs, support leaders, and staff events

• Troubleshoot issues, coordinate across Coordinated Campaign departments, and stay current on Party activities and Democratic news

• Other duties as assigned

• Commitment to Democratic values; professional Spanish proficiency (spoken/written)

• One cycle of campaign, community, labor, faith, or student organizing experience

• Proven track record recruiting, training, and retaining engaged volunteers

• Experience with Vote Builder/VAN, Mobilize, peer-to-peer texting; REACH or similar relational tools preferred

• Strong virtual facilitation skills (Zoom trainings/phone banks)

• Self-directed; able to build relationships remotely

• Campus, community, faith, or labor organizing experience preferred

• Excellent communication, people skills, and patience

• Strong time management under competing deadlines

• Positive, versatile team player and self-starter

• Familiarity with (or willingness to learn) Colorado's all-mail voting, ballot chase, and cure period

• Comfortable cold calling

• Must have a valid driver's license, reliable mode of transportation and the ability to travel extensively at times throughout the state for more than a day at a time;
