JOB DESCRIPTION Michael Roth for Congress: Finance Director
The Campaign and Role
Michael Roth is a leading Democrat running to flip New Jersey’s 7th Congressional District; one of the most competitive red-to-blue races in the country. As a New Jersey native and nationally recognized economic leader with deep experience in both the private and public sectors, Michael has been trusted by Senators, Governors, Mayors, and a President to guide America’s economy through crisis and deliver results for millions. Now, he’s ready to bring that leadership home for New Jersey in Congress.
This campaign is running on an actionable agenda to make life more affordable for New Jerseyans on day one in Congress, with a keen eye on how to bring federal resources back to the district to empower working families, and on government accountability and efficiency while serving in Washington D.C. You can read more about Michael and his priorities here.
The Finance Director is a senior role that prioritizes a hands-on approach and values-driven donor outreach and engagement. You should feel comfortable working as a strategy partner and detail-oriented executor leading the candidate, consultants, and team at-large to set, track, and meet ambitious goals.

Build and maintain strategic donor lists and tracking systems
Track and oversee all finance performance metrics and innovate for success
Track and commit daily check collection, deposit, and data entry

You have a strong working knowledge of NGPVAN, ActBlue, and other digital finance and project management tools
