Description

About the Campaign:
Senator Ed Markey is a proven progressive leader with a deep record of delivering for Massachusetts—from championing climate action and reproductive freedom to taking on corporate special interests. As he seeks re-election in 2026, the campaign is building a dynamic, grassroots-driven operation to meet the moment—and we’re looking for an Organizing Director to lead our statewide field program and build the volunteer power needed to win.

• Coalition Integration: Work with the Political & Coalitions Director to integrate coalition partners and allied organizations into the field program.
• Event Planning & Support: Coordinate volunteer-driven events, rallies, and community outreach activities.
