Position Overview

Seed the Vote (STV) seeks to hire several people to fill multiple positions for our Financial and  Logistics Support Team (Support Team) within STV’s Operations Department. These positions will work closely with the Organizing, Field, and Operations Teams to help manage the logistics and financial support needs for volunteers who will be canvassing for Seed the Vote in the 2026 election season across the country. They will help implement effective, efficient, and scalable systems that facilitate the transportation, lodging, and tracking of our volunteer canvassers’ trip details. These positions require excellent communication, written and verbal, with STV staff, volunteers, and members of our partner organizations.

All positions will have the same core set of responsibilities but be assigned to distinct roles to ensure coverage of all activities on evenings and weekends. The Support Team Lead will have a higher level of oversight responsibility.

Support Team Associate (2-6 positions)

• 20 hours with potential increase to full time. Some positions will start in August, and some in September.
• Team coverage for weekends and evenings (5-8PM Pacific Time) will be necessary; 2 or more positions will be scheduled specifically for these times. Scheduling for other positions will be flexible.
• These positions are distinguished from the Lodging Associate positions by focusing on broader coordination with the Support Team and volunteer canvassers to secure a range of travel logistics (flights, rental cars, lodging).
• Follow-up with individual volunteer canvassers to support the logistics of their canvassing trip (flights, rental cars, lodging), assess financial support according to protocols, and communicate reimbursement procedures.
• Support “super volunteers” who also do 1-1 calls with individual volunteer canvassers, as described above.
• One or two positions may be cross trained on details of lodging logistics to ensure evening & weekend coverage.
• These positions will report directly to the Support Team leadership.

Lodging Associate (1-2 positions)

• 20 hours starting in August with potential increase to full time.
• Weekend availability required.
• These positions are distinguished from the Support Team Associates by focusing more narrowly on lodging coordination with the Support Team and volunteer canvassers.
• Research lodging options in Seed the Vote canvassing locations as needed.
• Support setting up contracts with hotels in multiple canvass locations. Maintain a highly detailed tracking system for multiple hotels in each canvass location, including volunteer hotel assignments, regular changes and updates to bookings.
• These positions report directly to the Operations Department leadership.

Support Team Lead (1 position)

• 20 hours starting in August with potential increase up to full time in September or October as needed.
• Weekend availability required.
• This position is distinguished from the Associate positions by performing work at a higher level of independence and responsibility, providing support to team manager with leading team spaces and oversight of Associates and super volunteers during weekend shifts, having higher level insight into operational needs, escalating urgent issues as needed, and making decisions to ensure volunteer logistics are handled efficiently.
• Identify vendors in canvassing locations as needed, develop strong relationships, and coordinate STV needs:  e.g. hotels, meeting venues, transportation, etc.
• This position will report directly to the Support Team Manager.
