Job Description

About Us:

Legion (M/WBE-Owned Certification) is an award winning, history-making outreach consultancy specializing in deploying boots on the ground and phone outreach with a data-centric backbone.

From sales outsourcing to public pressure campaigns, we deploy canvassers and callers to identify, interact, and influence. Our unique combined might: marrying military discipline, Fortune 500 tactics, and political science. 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. Our targeting and data acquisition capabilities allow us to model ideal targets and reach even the most remote people. Legion’s team claims major victories: COVID-19 frontline outreach, spearheading the nation’s largest curbside composting program, and winning political swing districts.

That’s why unions, politicians, government agencies, developers, hotels, and even movie theaters all trust Legion.
