RepresentUs is hiring a national campaign manager to oversee anti-gerrymandering campaigns in 6-10 states across the country throughout 2021.

Managing the overall campaign budget including vendors, marketing, paid media, and operations
Creating and developing systems for regular tracking of success against goals
Providing regular updates to RepresentUs Executive Team, coalition partners, and supporters

2+ cycle of working with political consultants either as a consultant or as the primary contact and/or decision maker on the campaign

Ability to simultaneously manage multiple areas including state campaign strategies, contractors/vendors, internal staff, fundraising, and coalition members/partner organizations
Ability to understand and manage multiple tactical campaign areas such as digital, polling and research, organizing, and legislative strategy
Experience managing over $1M budget preferred
Experience with bold accountability campaigns preferred
Experience working in nonpartisan and cross-partisan environments preferred
A great attitude and a respect for people and their capabilities
Willingness to travel (when safe) to support campaigns as needed
Compensation and Benefits:
We are committed to bringing in top talent from all sectors. Accordingly, we offer competitive salaries and benefits, including health (Harvard Pilgrim HMO or UnitedHealthcare PPO network) and dental insurance (Delta Dental), both with family/spouse/domestic partner options, retirement benefits, a health reimbursement account, a dependent care account, disability insurance, a wellness benefit, a health concierge benefit, a $1,500 annual professional development stipend, and four weeks paid vacation, plus personal and sick time.
The annual salary range for the Anti-Gerrymandering Campaign Manager is $120,000-$170,000, dependent on location and experience.

About You
You are a social media expert with experience leading strategy at an agency or for a large brand. You have a knack for making snappy content that catches. You love sparking conversations and engaging with people on social media, and you’re deeply aware of how each channel is different—from the tools available to the audiences you’ll find. You want to use your skills to build a movement and encourage political action. You’re eager and ready to learn new skills, work hard, and push yourself to win. You are a creative AND analytical thinker: You like to come up with headlines & imagery, and also to crunch numbers and nerd out with a spreadsheet. You love collaborating with other people, but you also know how to manage your own time and projects. And finally: you get excited about the idea of communicating with more than 1 million online supporters and 5,000 RepresentUs activists, building chapters, campaigning, organizing creative actions and, ultimately, adding to the wave of city and state anti-corruption laws being passed across the country.
What You’ll Be Doing
We’re looking for a Social Media Strategist to lead our multi-platform social strategy. RepresentUs is building a movement, and you’ll be responsible for making the anti-corruption movement famous—defining our brand online and reaching millions of people with viral content. You’ll be hacking both the Facebook algorithm and people’s psychology, inventing new strategies to get in people’s feeds, with content that isn’t just shareable but is memorable. You will lead efforts to partner with like-minded organizations, get stories in front of new audiences, and make our brand “sticky” with content that positions RepresentUs as the place to come if you care about corruption and how you can help fix it.
Your top responsibilities will include:
Coming up with creative strategies for growing and maintaining our audience of over 1 million social media followers
Defining our brand voice on social media channels, making corruption a compelling issue with a fresh, bold, and approachable tone—no academic jargon here, thanks
Leading an editorial process to release social media campaigns that break through to new audiences and define what’s being talked about in the anti-corruption field
Working with a team of writers, video editors, and designers to produce creative for organic and paid campaigns
Being obsessed with metrics that matter and how to improve them: reaching new audiences, getting them excited about anti-corruption and our community, and converting them to donors and volunteers
Working with all RepresentUs teams to develop social media content and strategies supporting a variety of initiatives, from celebrity engagement to volunteer protests to state ballot campaigns
Advising on paid social opportunities to capitalize on our best content and recruit new supporters
Training staff on brand voice and best practices, to level up our entire team’s social media skillset
Executing A/B testing plans to optimize campaigns and inspire more people to deepen their engagement with the movement
Skills & Experience
3-5 years experience leading social media strategies for a nonprofit, business, political candidate, or similar
Advanced understanding of Facebook Page Manager, Twitter, Instagram, Facebook Business Manager, and other social media tools
Expertise at translating complex ideas into simple, emotional content that people share
Ability to learn new skills quickly
High level of organization, including experience leading major programs and strategies
Excellent writing and communication skills; spelling and grammar snobs are encouraged to apply

About RepresentUs
RepresentUs is the nation's leading right-left anti-corruption organization. We bring together conservatives, progressives, and everyone in between to secure crucial victories that are defending our Republic and fixing America's corrupt political system. But what it means for you, potential coworker, is that you feel what we feel when you wake up every day: a strong sense of purpose that binds you to the spirit of this nation, and an overwhelming sense that you should do something about it. And you want to work with people who feel the same. RepresentUs is a carefully curated mix of seasoned political campaigners, policy wonks, advertising experts, designers, and engineers. We're not a startup, but we've got startup DNA: we're nimble, constantly learning and iterating, and we push ourselves to push the envelope—to ignore "industry standards" and set a new standard. We're looking for enthusiastic new minds to help us grow, move faster, and achieve more. We believe our political system should reflect the varied voices of our nation, and so should our team. That's why we're an Equal Opportunity Employer; people of color, women, people with disabilities, and LGBTQ candidates are strongly encouraged to apply. In 2018, we helped pass 23 anti-corruption measures—a historic year for the movement.
We're headquartered in Northampton, MA and also have staff around the country. Come win with us!
About You
You are a social media expert with experience leading strategy at an agency or for a large brand. You have a knack for making snappy content that catches. You love sparking conversations and engaging with people on social media, and you’re deeply aware of how each channel is different—from the tools available to the audiences you’ll find. You want to use your skills to build a movement and encourage political action. You’re eager and ready to learn new skills, work hard, and push yourself to win. You are a creative AND analytical thinker: You like to come up with headlines & imagery, and also to crunch numbers and nerd out with a spreadsheet. You love collaborating with other people, but you also know how to manage your own time and projects. And finally: you get excited about the idea of communicating with more than 1 million online supporters and 5,000 RepresentUs activists, building chapters, campaigning, organizing creative actions and, ultimately, adding to the wave of city and state anti-corruption laws being passed across the country.
What You’ll Be Doing
We’re looking for a Social Media Strategist to lead our multi-platform social strategy. RepresentUs is building a movement, and you’ll be responsible for making the anti-corruption movement famous—defining our brand online and reaching millions of people with viral content. You’ll be hacking both the Facebook algorithm and people’s psychology, inventing new strategies to get in people’s feeds, with content that isn’t just shareable but is memorable. You will lead efforts to partner with like-minded organizations, get stories in front of new audiences, and make our brand “sticky” with content that positions RepresentUs as the place to come if you care about corruption and how you can help fix it.
Your top responsibilities will include:
Coming up with creative strategies for growing and maintaining our audience of over 1 million social media followers
Defining our brand voice on social media channels, making corruption a compelling issue with a fresh, bold, and approachable tone—no academic jargon here, thanks
Leading an editorial process to release social media campaigns that break through to new audiences and define what’s being talked about in the anti-corruption field
Working with a team of writers, video editors, and designers to produce creative for organic and paid campaigns
Being obsessed with metrics that matter and how to improve them: reaching new audiences, getting them excited about anti-corruption and our community, and converting them to donors and volunteers
Working with all RepresentUs teams to develop social media content and strategies supporting a variety of initiatives, from celebrity engagement to volunteer protests to state ballot campaigns
Advising on paid social opportunities to capitalize on our best content and recruit new supporters
Training staff on brand voice and best practices, to level up our entire team’s social media skillset
Executing A/B testing plans to optimize campaigns and inspire more people to deepen their engagement with the movement
Skills & Experience
3-5 years experience leading social media strategies for a nonprofit, business, political candidate, or similar
Advanced understanding of Facebook Page Manager, Twitter, Instagram, Facebook Business Manager, and other social media tools
Expertise at translating complex ideas into simple, emotional content that people share
Ability to learn new skills quickly
High level of organization, including experience leading major programs and strategies
Excellent writing and communication skills; spelling and grammar snobs are encouraged to apply
Basic understanding of graphic design tools or video editing highly desirable
Ability to work well under pressure and tight deadlines, and stay organized to get a campaign out the door
Experience managing projects from concept through execution
Technical skills, including knowledge of HTML, CSS, etc. (preferred)
