About the role

  • Reporting to the Deputy Digital Director, you will produce the creative assets that define our message, energize our base, and stop the scroll on social media.
  • This is a dynamic, hybrid creative role: one day you might be designing a static graphic for a fundraising email, and the next you might be on the road shooting a rally and editing a fast-turnaround Reel for Instagram.

  • Provide real-time support for live social media updates during major events.
  • Partner with the Deputy Digital Director and Social Media Manager to brainstorm creative concepts that engage supporters and grow our following.
  • Support other departments (Political, Organizing, Operations) with ad-hoc design and video needs as capacity allows.
  • Maintain an organized library of digital assets (b-roll, photos, templates) for the organization.
  • You succeed by working as a team, stepping up to support teammates, and sharing knowledge freely.
  • You build strong relationships by treating everyone with kindness, dignity, and trust.
  • You communicate openly and honestly to build trust and alignment.
