ABOUT OHIO
In 2023, Ohio Dems won two competitive statewide ballot campaigns and secured Democratic victories in all corners of our state from school boards to mayors. These electoral wins, along with protecting democracy and freedoms for all Ohioans, are momentous steps forward in our ongoing march to rebuild Democratic power. Our success wasn't an accident, it was organizing.
This year, Ohio must re-elect Senator Sherrod Brown in what will be the nation's top targeted race in 2024. The battle to maintain the Senate majority will be fought in Ohio. 2024 also offers the chance to take control of the Ohio Supreme Court, make gains in the state legislature, and defend three battleground congressional seats under new legislative maps. The State Party mobilization program will complement and be an effective force alongside the 2024 Coordinated Campaign's more traditional field model.
ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY
Ohio Democrats seek a talented, passionate professional to serve as the Mobilization Director to oversee the Party's year-round organizing program. The Ohio Democratic Party has committed to year-round organizing with a model that works for our state and our people - the Ohio County Action Network (CAN).

At its core we strive to empower local activists, county parties, and down-ballot candidate campaigns to do significant voter contact work that supports local and statewide power-building.
The Mobilization Director will manage a team of talented Mobilization Managers, support the Constituency Director, and manage important partner relationships in the democratic and progressive ecosystems. They will also oversee Ohio Democrat's long-term strategy for infrastructure and capacity building, volunteer engagement, and year-round organizing. The Mobilization Director will report to ODP's Executive Director and work closely with the 2024 Ohio Coordinated Campaign to ensure that we are meeting critical goals this cycle.
