Job Description

Legion Outreach Consulting is an award-winning, history-making political/corporate outreach consultancy specializing in non-traditional door knockers and phone bankers. Legion amplifies and activates the will of the people through political, issue-advocacy, and public interest campaigns. Headline after headline, our team continues to secure wins for our clients and their issues. Our team hails major victories from COVID-19 frontline outreach, rolling out the nation’s largest curbside composting program, and deep canvassing in political swing districts. 

Job Summary:

We are seeking a dynamic and driven political canvasser to support our canvassing efforts in the field. As a Legionnaire, you will play a pivotal role in engaging with the community through visibility efforts in high-traffic public areas. Your primary responsibilities will include representing our client with professionalism, distributing literature, and driving awareness in populated locations such as transit hubs, campuses, and busy intersections. This role requires strong communication skills and a passion for civic engagement.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Community Visibility & Representation:
    Act as a visible, approachable representative of our clients across events, campuses, and public spaces. Prioritize building presence in a way that aligns with our values and amplifies the visibility of the candidate and their message.
  • Timely & Professional Presence:
    Arrive on time and maintain a professional, grounded demeanor during all outreach activities. Your conduct should reflect respect for the communities we engage with and the candidates we represent.
  • Conversational Impact & Performance Goals:
    Consistently meet and exceed performance benchmarks by focusing on high-quality interactions that spark interest in and support for the candidate. Quotas matter—but the conversations and connections matter more.
  • Script Fluency with Flexibility:
    Learn and internalize talking points to guide effective outreach, while remaining nimble and conversational. Use the script as a foundation, not a barrier, to creating personalized and engaging dialogue centered around the candidate’s vision.
  • Driven, People-Focused Outreach:
    Uphold high standards in all outreach efforts by showing up with purpose, presence, and people-first energy. Let every interaction be a chance to create real visibility for the candidate and a genuine moment for the community to feel heard.

Shift Structure & Attendance Policy

  • Monday - Friday: 11am-3pm & 4pm-8pm
  • Saturday & Sunday: 11am-3pm & 4pm-8pm
  • Canvassers must work a minimum of four shifts per week (more is encouraged).
  • Attendance & Performance Policy:
    • Three-strike policy for flaking on scheduled shifts, lateness, or underperformance.

Training: Canvassers must arrive 30 minutes early for training on their first shift.

Requirements

  • Previous experience in canvassing, sales, or customer service is preferred but not required.
  • Excellent communication skills, with the ability to adapt and engage in varied conversational styles.
  • Strong work ethic, with a demonstrated commitment to achieving set targets and maintaining high professional standards.
  • Ability to memorize and effectively use talking points and scripts while being adaptable in conversations.
  • Reliable transportation and ability to work flexible hours, including evenings and weekends, as needed.

Benefits

  • Pay is $25/hr
  • Opportunity to work with a dedicated and supportive team.
  • Gain valuable experience in political advocacy and community engagement.

Legion is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
