Organization: Trust Brigade

Reports To: Director

Location: CO Congressional District 8

Term: April 1, 2026 – December 11, 2026

Compensation: $75,000 annualized salary + healthcare, dental, and vision benefits

About Trust Brigade

Trust Brigade is a Colorado-based year-round deep-canvassing operation building volunteer-driven canvassing capacity in Colorado’s 8th Congressional District (CD8). We run one of the largest canvassing programs in CD8 and train volunteers to have real, persuasive conversations with voters. In 2026, our work is directly focused on helping Democrats win and defeating Donald Trump and Gabe Evans.

Position Overview

The Community Organizer will manage volunteers, lead canvasses and trainings, and execute the operational backbone of a growing field program. This is a high-responsibility, high-autonomy role in a startup-style environment. You will wear multiple hats, including: field leader, volunteer manager, logistics coordinator, and relationship builder. Our ideal candidate is a detail-oriented, reliable, self-starter who enjoys building systems, engaging with a diverse volunteer community, and devising effective solutions for challenges large and small.

Most weekdays will be partially in-office (University Park area) and partially remote. In-person weekend canvassing is core to the role. Some evenings are required. We structure schedules to provide two days off per week, often on non-traditional days. During the final ~90 days before Election Day, schedules may intensify based on field demands. Vacation time is primarily scheduled post-election, with structured paid time off through the end of the term.
