What we want from our Campaign Organiser

Produce hard-hitting campaign comms
You’ll be responsible for producing leaflets, letters and emails which inform and inspire with Lib Dem campaign messages, local information and updates on our ‘record of action’. You don’t need to be a graphic designer - you’ll work mainly from some templates and we can train you up to design leaflets from scratch too. You’ll also work with the team who print campaign leaflets locally and externally.

Push the Lib Dem message to the public
You’ll manage a proactive, planned programme of campaign activity to get our message out to voters across every corner of Stratford on Avon.
This will involve organising leaflet delivery, doorstep canvassing sessions, back office admin support,  telephone campaigns and more - all supported by our volunteers.

Power-up our army of activists
You’ll run training for our volunteers, so they can have skills and confidence they need to make an impact when campaigning; meeting residents and businesses. You’ll work with our volunteer coordinators to recruit talented and committed new activists into our campaign teams.

Provide data-driven campaign advice
Use Lib Dem tools such as, Connect, Lighthouse, local surveys, petitions, and even national polling to help drive our campaigns. You’ll need to develop sharp political antennae and apply all the relevant data to help us grow our electoral success.

You know how to get things done
You’re a self-starter. You hit deadlines. You have strong attention to detail. You make sure team members know what’s expected of them. You can manage projects and one-off tasks.  

You can work with and motivate volunteers
You’ve got the enthusiasm and empathy to motivate our teams of activists to campaign on the doorstep.
You’ll work closely with our ward/area leads to build capacity and relationships with key stakeholders. 
You’ll be directly involved with recruiting, managing and training volunteers.

You’re a wordsmith with an eye for design
You’ve able to write content that wins hearts and minds. With sharp attention to detail, you know what makes engaging and informative (political) leaflets. You’re familiar with and confident with desktop publishing tools.
