Job Summary

As State Director, you will build and lead our on-the-ground organizing in NH. You will recruit volunteers, develop local leaders, build relationships in communities across the state, and turn public concern about AI into sustained grassroots action.

This is a build-from-zero role. There is no existing volunteer base or local infrastructure in your state. You will work closely with the Director of State Organizing on overall strategy, but day-to-day execution, judgment, and follow-through will be yours to own.

Responsibilities
  • Recruit, train, and develop volunteers and local leaders in your state

  • Build relationships with parents, faith communities, veterans, workers, and other local constituency groups

  • Plan and carry out grassroots campaigns tied to issue advocacy

  • Organize public-facing activities including town halls, canvassing shifts, house meetings, volunteer trainings, and local events

  • Build and manage a pipeline from first contact to sustained volunteer leadership

  • Identify and pursue new organizing opportunities in your state with a high degree of independence

  • Track and report core organizing metrics, including recruitment, retention, leadership development, and actions taken

  • Represent the organization at community events, coalition meetings, and with local media as needed

  • Support nonpartisan public-engagement efforts during key campaign and election-season periods as needed

Requirements
  • 3+ years of experience in grassroots organizing, field, campaigns, community outreach, or similar work
  • Experience recruiting, training, and managing volunteers
  • Strong ties to NH or the ability to build local relationships quickly
  • Experience with issue advocacy, public campaigns, or community-based organizing
  • Ability to build trust across political and demographic lines
  • Comfort with in-person organizing and the practical tools that support it, including event planning, volunteer tracking, and digital communication
  • Willingness and ability to work evenings and weekends as needed
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills
  • High ownership and sound judgment: comfortable operating independently as the lead organizer in your state
  • Serious interest in the public risks posed by advanced AI, including risks to children, jobs, families, communities, and longer-term risks from people losing control of advanced systems
  • Comfort working in a small, early-stage team
Nice to Have
  • Experience with bipartisan or cross-partisan organizing
  • Experience in fast-moving advocacy or election-cycle environments
  • Experience identifying, mentoring, and developing volunteer leaders
