Featured Job Posting: Field Organizers @ Next Door

This posting is a little different than those I normally post, but I think it will be helpful to some of my readers, so I wanted to share with you.  If you know someone that this post may be helpful to, please forward it along to them.

Nextdoor.com is looking for Field Organizers in Memphis.  This is a SIX MONTH full time assignment.  I could easily see the person who takes this role finding another long term full time role during their 6-month project based on who they will interact with in the Memphis community.

Ideal candidates are driven self-starters with a strong connection to Memphis who are passionate about building stronger, safer communities. They are detail oriented and have an analytical background.  They are dependable and have experience handling challenging situations and resolving them in a respectful manner.

Here’s more about the responsibilities from their site:

• Located in and has deep local connections to one of the specific cities listed above

• Access to reliable transportation

• Exceptional interpersonal and communication skills (written and verbal); strong listening and negotiation skills

• Ability to quickly adapt, analyze problems and implement creative solutions

• Self-starter with the ability to work independently is a must

• Must be a team player

• Experience as a active member of Nextdoor

• Passionate about the mission of Nextdoor

• Ease with managing high volume of email correspondence, experience with Google Maps, and aptitude for using web-based data systems

• Community or political organizing experience is a plus

This would be a fantastic for a recent college graduate who is having a tough time finding their first job.  It would be great for someone who is interested in non-profits, politics, or internet marketing.
