Regional Outreach Director

Colorado Senator John Hickenlooper — a former geologist turned brewpub owner turned elected official — seeks a Regional Outreach Director to serve as a liaison to West Metro and I-70 West communities. The position requires travel throughout the metro and Front Range region. 

Principal responsibilities of this position include: 

• Building and maintaining relationships with community leaders at all levels and with local government representatives; 
• Attending and convening community events to listen and discuss the Senator’s work and federal happenings;
• Advising the team on local needs in the region;
• Organizing, staffing, and providing follow up for the Senator’s events; and 
• Preparing briefing, scheduling, and background documents for the Senator and other team members. 

Ideal candidates should have ties to Colorado and are self-driven with strong time management and strategic thinking skills, as well as excellent communicators (written and verbal), and who understand the territory and communities to be served. We value a strong customer service ethic and a proactive approach with the ability to think about the big picture, as well as the ability to collaborate. Demonstrated team leadership, project and people management is a plus. 

As a team, we take the job seriously, but not ourselves and we are looking for similarly humble-minded teammates who are hungry to roll up their sleeves and get to work on issues that impact our fellow Coloradans. 

This office is an equal opportunity employer and does not discriminate on the basis of race, sex, color, age, religion, national origin, sexual orientation, gender identity or disability. Diverse applicants are encouraged to apply. We offer a competitive salary, plus federal benefits with generous time off and participation in a student loan repayment benefit for those who qualify. This is an exempt position with remote and in-person work and it reports to the state director. 

Please email a resume and a 200-word statement that describes why you would be an ideal candidate for this position to senate_employment@saa.senate.gov indicating the job referral number (231545) in the subject line.
