Overview
Field Director
Background
Protect Colorado’s Future is a diverse group of community, grassroots, and policy organizations working to enact a fairer tax code that enables the state to invest in the things families need — education, child care, and health care to provide families with successful economic opportunities. We are a coalition committed to a fair and thriving Colorado. Colorado’s outdated flat tax system is underfunding the essential services families rely on—schools, childcare, health care, transportation, and more. Meanwhile, the wealthiest households and large corporations continue benefiting from tax rules that don’t reflect today’s realities. We’re working to update the system so it works for everyone, not just the top 3%.
Job Description The Field Director is responsible for developing and organizing a statewide petition circulation plan to ensure we receive enough signatures and overall public support to qualify for the ballot in 2026. The Field Director will work across coalition subcommittees to build a plan and process for petition circulation amongst coalition partners, volunteers, and paid signature gatherers. This position will also oversee and coordinate a campaign to mobilize communities, raise awareness, and foster public support for the ballot measure. The Field Director reports to the Executive Committee Co-chairs. Candidates should have experience leading successful organizing campaigns for statewide issue advocacy or ballot campaigns.
Additional Requirements This is a contract position based in Colorado, with remote work within the state. Must have reliable personal transportation and be able to travel throughout Colorado up to 10 days a month as needed. Must be able to hold this position through November 30, 2026.
Compensation Salary is $7,500 - $8,500 per month, based on experience.
