  • Legion Outreach Consulting
  • Flushing, NY

Job Description

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.

Requirements

Key Responsibilities:

  • Community Engagement: Conduct door-to-door and street canvassing activities to represent Legionnaire and its clients effectively. Your interactions should align with our organizational values and practices.

  • Performance Standards: Meet and exceed quotas and performance standards, demonstrating a commitment to achieving outreach goals.
  • Script Mastery: Memorize and utilize talking points and scripts to guide conversations, while being adaptable to engage in meaningful and genuine dialogues.
  • Relentless Pursuit of Excellence: Consistently strive for success and professionalism in all field activities, fostering authentic connections with community members

Shift Structure & Attendance Policy

  • Weekdays: 4pm–8pm
  • Weekends: 11am–3pm
  • Minimum 4 shifts per week required
  • Mandatory 30-minute training before your first shift
  • Three-strike policy for no-shows, lateness, or underperformance

Requirements

  • Prior experience in canvassing, sales, or customer service is a plus—but not required
  • Strong communication skills and a passion for engaging people
  • Reliability and consistency in meeting expectations
  • Ability to learn and adapt quickly, and think on your feet
  • Reliable transportation to reach different parts of Queens

Benefits

  • $25/hour starting pay
