Global Zero seeks a talented digital architect and creative engagement strategist who is committed to ending the existential threat posed by nuclear weapons and securing justice for communities harmed by the nuclear weapons complex.
The Partner for Digital will be the linchpin in the development of an online full-court press that expands our audiences across multiple platforms, strengthens our ability to raise funds online, and amplifies our message that urgent action is needed to eliminate nuclear weapons globally.
In this position, you will leverage the smarts of a diverse team of campaigners, a global community of senior political leaders, military commanders and national security experts, a growing group of young volunteer activists, a widely recognized and respected international brand, and 501(c)(3) and (c)(4) capabilities. You’ll help us combine creative and bold campaigns with sophisticated digital infrastructure, sharp visuals, engaging content, and clear messages that equip people with the information and tools they need to speak truth to power and pressure decision-makers to act.
Background
Global Zero is spearheading an audacious campaign to eradicate all nuclear weapons everywhere and unlock a world of possibility beyond the bomb in our lifetime.
We don’t believe global security can be built on threats of mass destruction. We reject the narrative that insists we accept the enormous risks these weapons pose to our communities and our planet. We refuse to be complicit in the undemocratic, unjust and terrifyingly absolute power to kill hundreds of millions of people at the push of a button. And we will not stand idly by while nuclear-armed governments pursue dangerous plans that make nuclear conflict all but inevitable.
This year, we’ve undertaken a radical reimagining of our work. Leading with our values and bringing a campaign-strategy mindset to everything we do, we’ve pioneered a pathbreaking new organizational model that:
Carries forward an intersectional, multi-pronged, cross-functional approach to building movements and influencing policy;
Couples feminist and anti-racist leadership principles with an experimental mindset;
Replaces traditional departments and hierarchies in favor of a flatter partnership where roles are mapped to core needs; and
Prioritizes institutional agility, radical candor and transparency, systems thinking, and whole person support.
The Job
We can’t persuade governments to take bold action if we don’t expand our audience and win the story wars, and we’ll need you at the table to ensure that powerful storytelling and cutting-edge digital engagement is a major pillar of our strategy.
As Partner for Digital, you’ll be tasked with building out our digital infrastructure and leading engagement strategy, ensuring that our messages break out and break through to new audiences. This is a rare opportunity — at a unique moment of transformation and possibility — to take a leading role at a high-profile and influential organization working at every level to rid the world of nuclear weapons and change the way we think about and manifest security.
In this position, you’ll be responsible for shaping the digital vision and delivering on growth and engagement objectives, while threading the needle between Global Zero’s thought leadership and movement-building work. You will bring to the table current experience with digital leadership and innovation, and a history of engaging online audiences in important policy debates, channeling interest and outrage into action, and winning campaigns, as well as strong message development, writing, and management skills.
The Partner for Digital will lead the following key activities to raise the profile of our issue and organization, expand our reach and build strength over time:
Online Advocacy: Develop and implement online advocacy strategies, and design and execute plans to grow and leverage social media audiences, email lists, and website traffic.
Digital Marketing: Oversee all aspects of online public engagement and community management, assure consistent communication of organizational values and policy positions, and design and execute digital communication/marketing plans for Global Zero initiatives.
Content Management: Create a comprehensive institutional and programmatic digital marketing plan and calendar. Serve as project manager for all digital communications deliverables including email, social media content and ads, and digital campaigns.
Leadership: Bring strong leadership, organizational development experience, and management acumen, and an affinity for learning and mentoring.
Collaboration: Work across teams and in deep collaboration with partners to help them develop communications, digital, and engagement strategies to achieve mutual objectives and growth.
Transformation: Advocate for creative digital thinking and innovative approaches to storytelling and engagement at all levels of the organization.
We’ll be honest: It’s a big job and a lot is riding on it. Digital is an area that is chronically misunderstood, undervalued, and underutilized in the broader nuclear advocacy field, and you’re going to help us change that.
You
Are a creative and resourceful strategist who understands the unique power and potential of digital outreach, marketing, and advocacy, and knows what it takes to break out and break through;
Take initiative in everything you do, and understand how to work in deep collaboration;
Are entrepreneurial and intellectually curious by nature, as well as analytical and technologically savvy;
Are enthusiastic about experimenting and learning from mistakes, but also respect metrics and outcomes;
Can prioritize in a rapidly evolving work environment and stay calm, steady, and upbeat;
Won’t be spiritually crushed by thinking and talking about nuclear weapons and existential threats on the regular;
Can see the big picture without losing sight of important details; and
Are eager to help shape a stronger and more intentional culture of impact, trust, empathy, and belonging.
Your Record
Up-to-date background in all aspects of a modern digital engagement leadership position, with demonstrable experience working in increasingly leadership-oriented digital strategy roles;
Strong understanding of digital analytics, including ability to collect, analyze, and interpret data to guide data-informed decision-making;
Experience using some (or all) of the online platforms currently employed, including but not limited to Action Network, WordPress, and social media channels;
Values-based message development, writing, and research/testing skills;
Digital communications, storytelling, and channel management expertise; and
A commitment to integrity, inclusion, compassion, and totally crushing it on the job.
Bonus!
Do you have other skills that we should know about? Here are a few things we think are great but not required:
Experience building and leveraging an influencer outreach program to grow the profile and connections of Global Zero staff, movement leaders, and experts;
Great eye for compelling visuals and design;
Witty GIF-master and meme-machine;
Subject matter expertise in peace and security, international affairs and/or nuclear weapons; and, finally,
Willing to split a pizza with almost any topping (except ham and pineapple, gross).
The Setup
This is a full-time exempt position being filled at the Partner (I) level, which sits in our $80,000-$100,000 pay band and requires advanced proficiency.
Other benefits include:
6 weeks paid leave, 1 week of paid sick leave and 12 weeks paid parental leave;
Platinum-level health insurance for you and your family at no cost to you;
4-day work weeks (and no, we don’t mean squeezing five days into four);
10% retirement contributions, work from home allowances, and professional development expenses; and
Talented, compassionate, and occasionally hilarious colleagues who are committed to the idea that this vital work can and must be joyful.
We do our best to strike a balance between the needs of individuals and the organization. It’s a lot of asynchronous work, virtual work sessions, and online project management/tracking that relies heavily on platforms like Slack, Asana, and Mural.
While a number of staff are located in the Washington, DC area, we’re a remote-first operation and able to hire from any geographic location.
How To Apply
We are looking for someone who is comfortable working both independently and in teams, highly responsive, and able to lead initiatives as well as take direction from others. If that’s you, please click here to submit a cover letter, resume, and samples of your work.
Nuclear weapons threaten every person on Earth and disproportionately harm women and communities of color — and our work must reflect that fact. Global Zero is committed to cultivating and supporting a workplace rooted in the values of diversity, equity, justice, and belonging. We understand continuous learning, meaningful reflection, radical candor, and leading by example in our interactions with others both within and outside our organization are vital to achieve our goals and foster a safe work environment for everyone. We provide structured and unstructured opportunities for anti-bias development and growth to staff and volunteers and build just and proactive organizational policies to ensure we are living our truth in all we do as an organization — and in partnership with the broader movements in which we operate.
We're committed to building a diverse and inclusive movement and recognize that's impossible without first building a diverse and inclusive team. We welcome applications from all, and especially encourage those who have been traditionally sidelined from nuclear policy and advocacy — including women, Black people, Indigenous people, people of color, people with disabilities, immigrants, refugees, and LGBTQ folks — to apply.
We can't wait to hear from you!

Community management and digital storytelling will be critical to our success and we are looking for a creative and engaging communicator to lead these efforts. You will be responsible for bringing the Garden for Wildlife brand, mission, and products to life through digital channels and helping to grow and engage our community across social media. The position reports to the Garden for Wildlife Director of Marketing. (Due to COVID-19 all employees are working remotely until we make return to work decisions). We are looking for someone excited by new challenges. We want you to use your passion to innovate, learn new tools and techniques and identify improvements to promote the conservation goals.
Garden for Wildlife is an initiative within the National Wildlife Federation that aims to revolutionize the way people plant so that, together, we can reverse a declining trend among important backyard wildlife species (think butterflies, birds, and bees). It sounds like a lofty goal but it’s actually very doable. The key is to get people to plant native plants. Unfortunately, this solution isn’t well-known and native plants aren’t always easy to find. Insert lightbulb emoji… We identified the plants that help the highest numbers of wildlife species, based on science, and we partnered with sustainable growers to provide those plants. We sell these native plant collections on our website and we ship directly to our customers’ doorstep. Ultimately, we make it easier than ever for anyone—whether a first-timer or the greenest of thumbs—to garden for wildlife and make a real impact. It’s a unique business model, and we’re sharply focused on success, which leads to an exciting startup-like feeling business environment for our team within the larger organization of National Wildlife Federation.
About The National Wildlife Federation
The National Wildlife Federation is America's largest and most trusted grassroots conservation organization with 53 state/territorial affiliates and more than six million members and supporters, including hunters, anglers, gardeners, birders, hikers, campers, paddlers, and outdoor enthusiasts of all ages and stripes. The mission of the National Wildlife Federation is to unite all Americans to ensure wildlife thrive in our rapidly changing world. We advance this mission through programming focused on conserving wildlife, restoring habitats and waterways, expanding outdoor opportunities, connecting children with nature, advancing environmental justice, and addressing the causes and consequences of climate change.
Your Role
Social Media Management—Lead execution and growth of the Garden for Wildlife social presence across platforms, helping to build and maintain a robust, engaged community and also drive product sales.
Storytelling & Content Creation—Curate and create engaging content that will share and amplify the Garden for Wildlife story (brand, mission, and products) across digital channels.
Brand Representative—You’ll oversee our public-facing customer engagement style, serving as the primary representative and front-line voice of our brand within our digital communities.
Reputation & Community Management – You’ll actively listen to what’s being said about us, responding when and how appropriate and sharing learnings with the broader team so, together, we can provide the best products and overall experience possible.
Your Impact
Strategy—Work with Marketing Director to determine social strategy, including content pillars and post frequency across platforms.

We are looking for someone excited by new challenges. We want you to use your passion to innovate, learn new tools and techniques and identify improvements to promote the conservation goals.
Garden for Wildlife is an initiative within the National Wildlife Federation that aims to revolutionize the way people plant so that, together, we can reverse a declining trend among important backyard wildlife species (think butterflies, birds, and bees). It sounds like a lofty goal but it’s actually very doable. The key is to get people to plant native plants. Unfortunately, this solution isn’t well-known and native plants aren’t always easy to find. Insert lightbulb emoji… We identified the plants that help the highest numbers of wildlife species, based on science, and we partnered with sustainable growers to provide those plants. We sell these native plant collections on our website and we ship directly to our customers’ doorstep. Ultimately, we make it easier than ever for anyone—whether a first-timer or the greenest of thumbs—to garden for wildlife and make a real impact. It’s a unique business model, and we’re sharply focused on success, which leads to an exciting startup-like feeling business environment for our team within the larger organization of National Wildlife Federation.

Global Zero seeks a talented and creative digital communications, campaigning, and mobilizing strategist who is committed to ending the existential threat posed by nuclear weapons and building a safer and more prosperous future for all.
The Director of Digital Engagement will be the linchpin in the development of a digital full-court press that expands our audiences across multiple platforms, strengthens our ability to raise funds online, and amplifies our message that urgent action is needed to reduce and ultimately eliminate nuclear weapons globally. In this position, you will leverage the smarts of small but powerful policy and advocacy teams, a global community of senior political leaders, military commanders and national security experts, a growing group of young volunteer activists, a widely recognized and respected international brand, and 501(c)(3) and (c)(4) capabilities. You’ll help us combine creative and bold campaigns with sharp visuals, engaging content, and clear messages that break through, and equip our supporters with the information and digital tools they need to speak truth to power and keep the pressure on decision-makers to act.
Background
Global Zero is undertaking a radical reimagining of its work to build an international movement to delegitimize, defund, and dismantle all nuclear weapons everywhere. We’re building a brand new operating system for our advocacy operations, and we want you at the table to help ensure that cutting-edge digital engagement is a major pillar of our strategy.
We don’t believe security can be built on constant threats of mass destruction. We reject the Cold War narrative that tells us to accept the enormous risks these weapons pose to our communities and our planet. We refuse to be complicit in the undemocratic, unjust, and terrifyingly absolute power to kill hundreds of millions of people at the push of a button. And we will not stand idly by while a small group of governments pour trillions of dollars into a new generation of nuclear weapons and pursue dangerous plans that make global catastrophe all but inevitable.
The Job
We can’t persuade governments to take bold action if we don’t expand our audience and win the story wars — and you're going to help us do it.
This is a rare opportunity to take a leading role at a high-profile and influential organization working at every level to rid the world of nuclear weapons and change the global security paradigm for the better — and at a moment of institutional reimagining and transformation. In this position, you’ll report to Global Zero’s CEO as part of the core leadership team, and will be responsible for shaping the digital vision and delivering on growth and engagement objectives. You will bring to the table current experience with digital innovation and a history of engaging online audiences in important policy debates, channeling interest and outrage into action (online and offline), and winning campaigns, as well as strong message development, writing, and management skills.
The Director of Digital Engagement will lead the following key activities to raise the profile of our issue and organization, expand our reach and build strength over time:
Online Advocacy : Develop and implement online advocacy strategies, and design and execute plans to grow and leverage social media audiences, email lists, and website traffic.
Digital Marketing : Oversee all aspects of online public engagement and community management, assure consistent communication of organizational values and policy positions, and design and execute digital communication/marketing plans for Global Zero initiatives.
Content Management : Create a comprehensive institutional and programmatic digital marketing plan and calendar. Serve as project manager for all digital communications deliverables including email, social media content and ads, and digital campaigns.
Messaging : Help develop and drive messaging direction for online campaigns, including drafting long-range narratives and rapid response.
Leadership : Bring strong leadership, organizational development experience, and management acumen to our senior management team, and an affinity for mentoring junior and mid-level staff.
Collaboration : Work across teams and in deep collaboration with partners to help them develop communications, digital, and engagement strategies to achieve mutual objectives and growth.
Transformation : Advocate for creative digital communications thinking and innovative approaches to storytelling and engagement at all levels of the organization.
It’s a big job and you’ll be holding a lot on your own at the beginning. If all goes as planned this year, you’ll be tasked with hiring and managing 1-2 digital staff as we steadily scale up our operations. Digital is an area that is chronically misunderstood, undervalued, and underfunded in the broader nuclear field, and your success is going to help us change that.
You
Are a creative and resourceful strategist who understands the unique power and potential of digital outreach, marketing and advocacy, and knows what it takes to break out and break through;
Have a deep understanding of strategic communications, campaigning, mobilization, and direct action, and ability to express and share that knowledge with others;
Take ownership of and initiative in everything you do, and understand how to work in a team;
Are entrepreneurial and intellectually curious by nature, as well as analytical and technologically savvy;
Enjoy writing, editing, and developing long-range narratives that inform, inspire, and activate;
Are enthusiastic about experimenting and learning from mistakes, but also respect metrics and outcomes;
Can prioritize in a fast-paced work environment and stay calm, steady, and upbeat;
Can see the big picture without losing sight of important details;
Are a natural people-person who fosters trust and knows how to mentor junior and mid-level staff; and
Are eager to help shape a stronger and more intentional culture of impact, trust, empathy, and belonging.
Your Record
Up-to-date background in all aspects of a modern digital engagement position, with minimum 5 years experience working in increasingly leadership-oriented digital strategy roles;
Strong understanding of digital analytics, including ability to collect, analyze, and interpret data to guide data-informed decision-making;
Experience using some (or all) of the online platforms currently employed, including but not limited to Action Network, WordPress, and social media channels.
Values-based message development, writing, and research/testing skills;
Digital communications, storytelling, and channel management expertise;
Strong executive-level communications and marketing skills, interpersonal communications, and persuasion skills; and
A commitment to integrity, inclusion, compassion, and totally crushing it on the job.
Bonus!
Do you have other skills that we should know about? Here are a few things we think are great but not required:
Experience building and leveraging an influencer outreach program to grow the profile and connections of Global Zero staff, movement leaders, and experts;
Great eye for compelling visuals and design;
Witty GIF-master and meme-machine;
Subject matter expertise in peace and security, international affairs and/or nuclear weapons; and, finally,
Willing to split a pizza with almost any topping (except ham and pineapple, gross).
The Setup
Full-time exempt position with occasionally intense but generally humane hours;
$90,000 salary and generous benefits package including 6 weeks paid leave, 12 weeks parental leave, fully-covered health insurance, 10% retirement contributions (on top of salary), green commuting expenses and/or remote work support (e.g., phone/internet reimbursements), professional development expenses, and other benefits;
Remote-first operation headquartered in Washington, DC, hiring from any geographic location; and
Talented, compassionate, and occasionally hilarious colleagues to dig in with.
How To Apply
We are looking for someone who is comfortable working both independently and in teams, highly responsive, and able to lead initiatives as well as take direction from others. If that’s you, please click here to submit a cover letter, resume, and samples of your work.
Nuclear weapons threaten every person on Earth and disproportionately harm women and communities of color — and our work must reflect that fact. Global Zero is committed to cultivating and supporting a workplace rooted in the values of diversity, equity, justice, and belonging. We understand continuous learning, meaningful reflection, radical candor, and leading by example in our interactions with others both within and outside our organization are vital to achieve our goals and foster a safe work environment for everyone. We provide structured and unstructured opportunities for anti-bias development and growth to staff and volunteers and build just and proactive organizational policies to ensure we are living our truth in all we do as an organization — and in partnership with the broader movements in which we operate.
We're committed to building a diverse and inclusive movement and recognize that's impossible without first building a diverse and inclusive leadership team. We welcome applications from all, and especially encourage those who have been traditionally sidelined from nuclear policy and advocacy — including women, people of color, people with disabilities, immigrants, refugees, and LGBTQ people — to apply. We can't wait to hear from you!

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.

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.
