Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
The Director will manage a remote canvass operation to educate Iowans on water pollution and the cancer crisis. Key duties include recruiting, training, and tracking the performance of canvassers while managing field logistics.
Candidates must have at least one election cycle of canvassing experience and familiarity with VAN or similar voter databases. Preferred qualifications include previous canvass directing experience and knowledge of the Central Iowa region.
Central Iowa Canvass Director
Food & Water Watch is a leading national organization that mobilizes regular people to build political power to move bold and uncompromised solutions to the most pressing food, water, and climate problems of our time. We work to protect people’s health, communities, and democracy from the growing destructive power of the most powerful economic interests.
About Food & Water Watch:
Food & Water Watch is organizing on some of the biggest issues Iowans face today, like holding factory farms accountable for their pollution and advocating for clean drinking water. Recent polling has shown that Iowans consider the state’s water and cancer crises to be very serious concerns, on par with affordability.
Food & Water Watch has been working for years, organizing to build power in Iowa. Our work gets real results. In 2025, we defeated the so-called “Cancer Gag Act” that was pushed on the Iowa legislature by Bayer and Big Ag. This bill would have prevented farmers, workers, and anyone affected from exercising their right to hold companies accountable for failing to warn them of health risks. We also played a role in passing legislation blocking carbon pipeline companies from using eminent domain to take property from landowners.
About the position:
The Central Iowa Canvass Director will report to the Political Director and will work with other staff on the Iowa Organizing and administrative teams to support Food & Water Watch’s work. The position will run a canvass operation that knocks on tens of thousands of doors to educate and engage Iowans on the issue of water pollution and the associated cancer crisis facing our state. This is a full-time temporary position starting as soon as possible, running through November 6.
Salary: $45,000 - $53,300 dependent on experience.
Location: This position will be based in Polk County.
FLSA Status: Exempt
This position will start as soon as possible, running through November 7, 2026.
We are not planning to rent office space for this campaign. Instead, we plan on running the canvass remotely, with regular meetups in the field for canvassers to get training and materials.
Responsibilities and Duties:
Qualifications:
At least one election cycle canvassing experience (either electoral or issue organizing works!)
Familiarity with VAN or a similar voter database tool.
Preferred (but not necessary) qualifications:
Desired skills/interests:
Food & Water Watch provides an excellent benefits package for full-time employees. This includes 100% employer-paid health, dental and vision plans for staff; 403b retirement plans with employer contribution once eligible; Accrued vacation and sick time. Personal days are prorated based on contract length; paid federal holidays and winter break (December 24 – January 1).
Applicants must be currently authorized to work in the United States. We are unable to sponsor or take over sponsorship of employment visas.
Please include your resume, cover letter and three professional references to be considered.

Food & Water Watch is committed to the health and safety of its staff members. Moreover, FWW, as an organization, promotes science-based policy.

FWW requires new staff to provide proof of COVID-19 vaccination, subject to availability, unless they receive an approved religious or medical accommodation.
