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)
This is a virtual position, and candidates must have consistent access to reliable internet and phone
Compensation and Benefits
We’re committed to bringing in top talent from all sectors. Accordingly, we offer competitive salaries and pretty awesome benefits, including health and dental insurance, a health reimbursement account, wellness perks, a dependent care account, and a retirement benefit. Plus employer-funded short-term disability and life insurance.
Oh, and we have this wild idea that we’ll do better work if we have time to see our friends and families, so we get four weeks of paid vacation a year, plus personal and sick time. The annual salary range for the Social Media Strategist is $55,000-$90,000, dependent on location and experience.
This position is virtual. We currently have staff in Massachusetts, North Carolina, Washington DC, Pennsylvania, California, New York, and Texas.
To Apply
Please provide a resume, cover letter, and screenshots from a recent social media campaign you spearheaded. Incomplete applications will not be considered. No phone calls please.

Vote Blue’s mission is to mobilize progressive voters to get to the polls in the 2020 election using door-to-door canvassing.
We are currently seeking Health & Safety Program Managers to join us on an important and exciting campaign to provide the strategic field operation necessary to win this fall.
There is so much at stake in this election. As we have seen over the last 4 years, leadership in government matters more than ever. Nearly 200,000 Americans have died of COVID19, and Donald Trump is on the record saying that he intentionally withheld information about it and downplayed its severity. Millions of acres are currently burning in wildfires in Washington, Oregon, and California in one of the largest natural disasters in history. We need our government proactively addressing climate change, not trying to open up the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to new oil drilling. Systemic racism is real and clearly at the forefront of our collective daily lives. Yet as more Black people are shot or killed by police, Donald Trump and Republicans stoke racial tension for political gain. We need a change in leadership, and we need it fast. The election on November 3 will be the most important of our lifetimes. A strong ground game is the key to winning.
COVID-19 has altered the political landscape this year, but one thing remains the same: nothing is going to engage voters more effectively than talking to them face to face about the stakes of this election. If we are going to win this November we're going to need to mobilize millions of Americans to take action and vote. Vote Blue has developed an effective health and safety protocol that allows us to go door to door or to speak with people in public places while keeping our staff and the people we speak to safe.
We are hiring immediately and the position runs through November 14th, 2020.
If you are passionate about progressive politics, join our fight to defeat Donald Trump and vulnerable US Senators. You will provide the administrative support we need to recruit, train and manage paid staff to raise money, identify supporters and turn out voters this November.
Locations: Immediate priority is in North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Michigan. Our strong preference is for in-state candidates, short-term travel may be required.
Responsibilities:
Overall Health and Safety Program Support
Assist with the management and execution of Vote Blue’s comprehensive health and safety program to ensure staff and the community stay safe as we work to strengthen our democracy in this unprecedented time
Interface with voter contact canvass directors within an assigned state to help them keep their staff and the public safe from COVID-19
Track, monitor, and report on health and safety protocols and processes across all facets of operations
Assist with management of assigned state or project(s) the ordering, logistics, distribution, and inventory tracking of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to ensure necessary volume is on hand at all times
Support continuous implementation of program improvements and updates
Assist with FFCRA administration and tracking
Program Management
Train staff on Vote Blue’s COVID policies and protocols
Implement COVID Health and Safety Policies, including:
Mandating and monitoring COVID-19 testing for staff
Overseeing daily health surveys and temperature checks
Keeping PPE and safety supply inventories
Following protocols when a team member shows symptoms, has been exposed to a COVID case, or tests positive.
Report compliance of safety policies to the National Health & Safety Program Director
Work with the National Safety Director to resolve health and safety implementation issues and develop solutions to increase safety in day to day operations
Attending a weekly nationwide conference call with the National Safety Director
Solicit regular input from Field Directors, Team Leads, and Team Members.
Qualifications:
Ability to “quarterback” many moving pieces simultaneously, follow-through to success
Extreme attention to detail and a proven ability to instill that quality in others
Sharp and succinct communication skills via email, verbal, and shared documents
Intermediate experience working with G-Suite and Microsoft programs
Self-starter with excellent problem-solving skills, dig in and figure it out until it’s done
Ability to work long hours, including evenings and weekends
Salary
The salary range for this position is $1,025 per week. We offer a generous benefits package, including paid vacation and sick leave, health insurance, and hands-on training. At the end of the campaign, there may be opportunities for advancement and bonuses.
At Vote Blue, we prioritize equity and inclusion. We are an equal opportunity employer and we strongly encourage Black, indigenous, people of color, women, people with previous felony convictions, members of the LGBTQIA+ community, and others who identify with underrepresented groups to apply.
Timeline
This position starts ASAP, and runs thru November 14th, 2020. There is a possibility this position is extended beyond November.

Sep 24, 2020
Full time
Vote Blue’s mission is to mobilize progressive voters to get to the polls in the 2020 election using door-to-door canvassing.
We are currently seeking Health & Safety Program Managers to join us on an important and exciting campaign to provide the strategic field operation necessary to win this fall.
There is so much at stake in this election. As we have seen over the last 4 years, leadership in government matters more than ever. Nearly 200,000 Americans have died of COVID19, and Donald Trump is on the record saying that he intentionally withheld information about it and downplayed its severity. Millions of acres are currently burning in wildfires in Washington, Oregon, and California in one of the largest natural disasters in history. We need our government proactively addressing climate change, not trying to open up the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to new oil drilling. Systemic racism is real and clearly at the forefront of our collective daily lives. Yet as more Black people are shot or killed by police, Donald Trump and Republicans stoke racial tension for political gain. We need a change in leadership, and we need it fast. The election on November 3 will be the most important of our lifetimes. A strong ground game is the key to winning.
COVID-19 has altered the political landscape this year, but one thing remains the same: nothing is going to engage voters more effectively than talking to them face to face about the stakes of this election. If we are going to win this November we're going to need to mobilize millions of Americans to take action and vote. Vote Blue has developed an effective health and safety protocol that allows us to go door to door or to speak with people in public places while keeping our staff and the people we speak to safe.
We are hiring immediately and the position runs through November 14th, 2020.
If you are passionate about progressive politics, join our fight to defeat Donald Trump and vulnerable US Senators. You will provide the administrative support we need to recruit, train and manage paid staff to raise money, identify supporters and turn out voters this November.
Locations: Immediate priority is in North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Michigan. Our strong preference is for in-state candidates, short-term travel may be required.
Responsibilities:
Overall Health and Safety Program Support
Assist with the management and execution of Vote Blue’s comprehensive health and safety program to ensure staff and the community stay safe as we work to strengthen our democracy in this unprecedented time
Interface with voter contact canvass directors within an assigned state to help them keep their staff and the public safe from COVID-19
