Advanced Micro Targeting (AMT), the nation's largest direct democracy firm.  We work on political campaigns and ballot initiatives throughout the US. At AMT, we sell big ideas like ending  government corruption, empowering voters to make their own decisions, and elect leaders who truly listen to the people.

We work on the road for months at a time, experiencing the beauty of our country firsthand. We see the Northern Lights in Denali and alligators in the Everglades, your journey with us will be nothing short of extraordinary.

But make no mistake, our work is not just about adventure. Our staff works tirelessly, putting in long hours in the field and managing crucial reporting on the backend. We are looking for leaders who possess a sense of urgency and are committed to making a difference.

Diversity is at the heart of our teams. We embrace individuals of different ages, backgrounds, and geographical locations. We collaborate with a diverse group of individuals who share a common goal of respecting and serving the voters.

We engage with voters directly. Whether it's knocking on doors, talking in grocery store parking , or connecting at community gatherings, we strive to listen, persuade, and treat the public with utmost respect and understanding.
