Description
Field Director
Background
Protect Colorado’s Future is a diverse group of community, grassroots, and policy organizations
working to enact a fairer tax code that enables the state to invest in the things families need —
education, child care, and health care to provide families with successful economic opportunities. We
are a coalition committed to a fair and thriving Colorado.
Colorado’s outdated flat tax system is underfunding the essential services families rely on—schools,
childcare, health care, transportation, and more. Meanwhile, the wealthiest households and large
corporations continue benefiting from tax rules that don’t reflect today’s realities. We’re working to
update the system so it works for everyone, not just the top 3%.

ensure we receive enough signatures and overall public support to qualify for the ballot in 2026. The
Field Director will work across coalition subcommittees to build a plan and process for petition
circulation amongst coalition partners, volunteers, and paid signature gatherers. This position will
also oversee and coordinate a campaign to mobilize communities, raise awareness, and
foster public support for the ballot measure. The Field Director reports to the Executive Committee
Co-chairs. Candidates should have experience leading successful organizing campaigns for
statewide issue advocacy or ballot campaigns.
