Field Operations Director - Loudoun Transmission Line Alliance

The Loudoun Transmission Line Alliance (a grass-roots collective) and the Waterford Foundation (a historic preservation, conservation, and education organization in Loudoun County) seeks an energetic and creative individual as a field operator for a grass-roots activism campaign in Loudoun County, Virginia. There will be some aspects similar to the work of an executive director. The individual will be coordinating between the steering committee and the multiple member groups of the Alliance (including major environmental organizations), organizing a volunteer base for canvasing and events, and advocating for legislation. This is a nonpartisan, urgent issue.

We are looking for an individual with prior experience in some or all of the position's responsibilities, and ideally with prior employment in political campaigns and/or nonprofit work. No specific political ideology required. Must be able to respect and engage with community members across the political spectrum. Strong preference for long-term Northern Virginia resident with knowledge of Loudoun County.

About us:

The explosion of data centers in Eastern Loudoun has escalated into a severe power shortage and serious costs to the community: environmental, financial, historic legacy, eminent domain, and more. Our focus is preventing the new transmission lines being built solely to feed the data centers- taking farms, homes, and severely damaging Loudoun County's tourism industry and small businesses, only to increase the profits of private corporations. This is a new issue, and we are on the front lines, and it is spreading across the state and nation. We are working with local, state, and federal government issues.
