What are the responsibilities and job description for the Political Canvasser position at Legion Outreach Consulting?
Legion is an award winning, history-making outreach consultancy specializing in non-traditional boots on the ground and phone outreach. From sales outsourcing to public pressure campaigns, we deploy canvassers and callers to identify, interact, and influence. Legion’s team hails major victories from COVID-19 frontline outreach, rolling out the nation’s largest curbside composting program, and deep canvassing in political swing districts. From phone banking, surveying, persuasion, door-to-door canvassing, street canvassing, petitioning, flyering, tabling, we do it all. Rapidly scaling up and down, Legion’s hiring pipeline has been automated to a point of ruthless efficiency, while maintaining human oversight.
But all that success and optimization is gravy. Legion’s truly unique advantage is our combined might: marrying military discipline, Fortune 500 Tactics, and political savvy. We create and maintain agile and disciplined operatives at every level who can work a political campaign one month, then a real estate persuasion or corporate sales project the next.
That’s why unions, politicians, government agencies, developers, hotels, and even movie theaters all trust Legion.
