Americans for Prosperity (AFP) is the premier grassroots organization focused on advocating solutions to the country’s greatest challenges. We recognize that tens of millions of Americans are frustrated with the extreme partisanship in government that keeps common-sense reforms from being passed, and instead seek to stand with policy leaders who are committed to finding a better way.
Americans for Prosperity is part of the
Stand Together philanthropic community.
We're looking for a Regional Field Manager who thinks and acts like an entrepreneur: someone who takes ownership, spots opportunities other people miss, and comes up with new ways to reach and mobilize people across Virginia.
This role owns the full grassroots cycle in the Virginia Beach area, recruiting volunteers and community leaders, training and supervising part-time canvassers and representing AFP in the community.
How You Will Contribute
- Recruit, train, and grow a base of active, productive volunteers, prioritizing people from outside your existing network.
- Build and maintain relationships with community leaders, advocacy groups, and people with local political influence, and use them to inform strategy.
- Supervise part-time canvassing contractors and, where applicable, Grassroots Coordinators, including training, coaching, and performance.
- Represent AFP publicly: communicate well one-on-one and to large groups, create content, and speak knowledgeably to our policy positions.
- Handle the practical side of running a region, including budget, equipment, expense reports, and general legal compliance.
- Design and run creative outreach, canvassing, phone, digital, events, and coalition building, that grows AFP's footprint in new Virginia communities.
What You Will Bring
- An entrepreneurial mindset: you take initiative, try new approaches, and adjust quickly when something isn't working.
- A track record in grassroots organizing, political campaigns, community organizing, or advocacy work.
- Strong relationship-building and people skills, with genuine sales or customer-relationship instincts.
- A comfortable communicator and collaborator who embraces feedback and works well with staff, volunteers, and coalition partners.
- Comfort with basic administrative and compliance work and a working knowledge of Microsoft Office.
- Experience level: a background in field organizing, campaigns, or nonprofit advocacy. People-management experience is a plus, not a requirement.
- A valid driver's license and willingness to travel throughout Virginia Beach, as needed.
- Enthusiasm to contribute to Stand Together's vision and principled approach to solving problems, and a commitment to stewarding our culture, which champions values including transformation and innovation, entrepreneurialism, humility, and respect.
Standout Candidates Will Bring
- A history of identifying new opportunities and turning them into measurable growth, whether in a volunteer program, coalition, or community organization.
- Familiarity with Virginia's political, community, and public policy landscape.
- Experience managing part-time staff, contractors, or volunteer teams.
What We Offer
- Competitive benefits: Enjoy a 6% 401(k) match with immediate vesting, flexible time off, comprehensive health and dental plans, plus wellness and mental health support through Peloton and Talkspace
- A meaningful career: Join a passionate community of over 1,400 employees dedicated to improving lives and driving innovative solutions to complex social challenges
- Commitment to growth: Thrive in a non-hierarchical environment that empowers employees to discover, develop and apply their unique talents
- Competitive compensation: Our approach rewards the value you create through competitive salaries and bonus opportunities, allowing you to share in the success you help drive
