Job Description

The Position 

Punitive drug laws in our country have disproportionately targeted communities of color dating as far back as the 1870s. We are looking for campaign staff to join our fight to promote alternatives to the war on drugs and put an end to centuries of discrimination. To this end, we are hiring Field Directors in Oklahoma who will work on a key drug decriminalization campaign that will promote equitable drug regulation, expand access to health services, and fundamentally transform the direction of drug policy in the US today.

Quality Control Directors will recruit, train, and manage a team of local data entry staff who will review the signatures that petitioners collect from the public. The data entry team will evaluate the quality of the signatures for eligibility, completeness, and confirm that signers are registered Oklahoma voters. The QC director will track and report the data entry team’s results to the campaign in order to drive the quality of the overall signature gathering effort. Additionally, the QC director will prepare all signatures for delivery to the Secretary of State’s office on a monthly basis. This position reports to the Project Director.

If you are passionate about progressive politics, join our fight to make equitable drug policies a reality in Oklahoma.

Please note we accept applications on a rolling basis and conclude our hiring process as soon as the role has been filled.
