Director of Mobilization at Young Americans For Liberty

Are you the next Samuel Adams?

At Young Americans for Liberty (YAL), we believe that educating young people on the ideas of freedom is essential to saving this country — but education alone isn’t enough. To truly make liberty win, we must mobilize, building what Samuel Adams once called:

“An irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men.”

YAL’s next Director of Mobilization will lead the charge on our world-class door-knocking program, Operation Win at the Door (OWD). Since 2018, OWD has:

• Deployed 4,000+ YAL-trained students on campaigns across the country
• Helped win 500+ elections for liberty candidates
• Contributed to the passage of 1,000+ pro-liberty bills
• Stopped hundreds of bad bills that would have expanded government

Every year, this program grows in size and impact. We’re gearing up for a monumental 2026, when we plan to mobilize students who will knock on over 3 million doors nationwide.

About the Role

The Director of Mobilization is responsible for ensuring that as many YAL students and activists as possible deploy into the field through Operation Win at the Door — whether on short-term blitzes or long-term campaign deployments for either YAL or other pro-liberty third party organizations.

You’ll work with partner organizations to identify additional deployment opportunities, manage a team of Recruitment Coordinators who communicate directly with student activists, and collaborate with YAL’s Marketing and Development teams to amplify the impact of our activists across the country.

This is a high-energy leadership role for someone who thrives on building teams, driving recruitment, and inspiring massive action among America’s youth.

Ideal Candidate

The ideal candidate is:

• Relentless on the phones and capable of training others to be just as effective
• Passionate about inspiring student activists and building a culture of action
• A strong, ego-free leader who’s ready to scale one of the most effective youth mobilization programs in the country
• Has prior experience leading teams and managing staff
• Able to canvass on foot for a full day knocking on doors, must be able to lift 50 pounds

This position reports directly to the Deputy Director of Grassroots.
📍 Location: Austin, TX at YAL HQ is strongly preferred.

Key Responsibilities

• Identify and mobilize thousands of YAL students into electoral and legislative activism opportunities nationwide each year for both YAL and other pro-liberty organizations.
• Hire, train, and manage full-time Mobilization staff
• Drive a high-energy, sales-oriented culture that inspires both activists and staff
• Expand activism opportunities by working with partner organizations and internal teams on efforts such as phone banks and rallies
• Document and track performance through Google Sheets and other systems
• Own the strategy, execution, and results of Operation Win at the Door efforts
