Field Representative / District Scheduler

FIELD REPRESENTATIVE / DISTRICT SCHEDULER

Location: Houston, Texas

Reports To: District Director & Deputy Chief of Staff / Director of Operations

About the Office

Congressman Christian Menefee represents Texas's 18th Congressional District, which includes much of North Houston and parts of Humble. We are looking for a talented, community-driven individual to help us do that work on the ground.

About This Role

This is a hybrid position: part community ambassador, part scheduling coordinator. You will be one of the faces of Congressman Menefee's office in Houston, attending events in the district and building relationships with community leaders. You will also help make sure the Congressman’s Houston schedule runs smoothly.

This role is ideal for someone who knows Houston, loves people, and is detail-oriented and able to juggle multiple responsibilities without dropping the ball.

This position is entirely based in Houston and reports jointly to the District Director & Deputy Chief of Staff and the Director of Operations in DC. You will also work closely with Congressman Menefee and the Chief of Staff.

What You Will Do

Scheduling

  • Manage the Congressman’s daily and long-term schedule while he is in the district

  • Receive, track, and respond to all incoming requests for meetings and event appearances in Houston

  • Coordinate logistics for official district events, including transportation and timing

  • Communicate schedule updates quickly and clearly to the Congressman, staff, and outside stakeholders

  • Work with the Washington D.C. Scheduler to make sure the district calendar lines up with the D.C. calendar

  • Draft event briefing memos and work with legislative and communications staff to prepare the Congressman before every meeting or appearance

  • Keep accurate records of all scheduling activity

Community Outreach and Field Work

  • Represent the Congressman at community events, meetings, and public forums across the district

  • Build and maintain strong relationships with community leaders, faith organizations, neighborhood groups, nonprofits, and local officials

  • Stay plugged into what is happening in TX-18: attend local meetings, track local issues, and report back to the District Director

  • Help make sure the office’s outreach efforts reflect the Congressman’s priorities and serve the people of the district

  • Support the planning and execution of community events hosted or co-sponsored by the office

  • Identify opportunities for the Congressman to engage with underserved communities and organizations doing important work in the district

What We Are Looking For

Required

  • Strong written and verbal communication skills: you can write a clear email and give a confident speech

  • Ability to manage a busy calendar and handle last-minute changes without losing your cool

  • Sound judgment: you know how to handle sensitive information and complicated situations with discretion

  • People skills and the ability to effectively communicate to a wide range of audiences
  • Familiarity with Houston and deep knowledge of the communities that make up the 18th Congressional District

  • Ability to work flexible hours, including occasional evenings and weekends for community events

Preferred

  • Experience in scheduling, for a campaign, elected official, nonprofit, or business
  • Prior experience working for an elected official, government agency, or advocacy organization
  • Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience
  • Relationships with community leaders, civic organizations, or advocacy groups in Houston
  • Bilingual skills are a plus
