[jobsthatareLEFT] Digital Director for Political Action Committee

Political action committee seeks experienced social media magic maker to spearhead the digital campaign for a ballot question this November in New York: Should NY hold a state constitutional convention? Um, YES!

We're hiring a full-time Digital Director to join us in the fight for good government, equal rights, criminal justice reform, environmental protections, labor protections, and so much more. With so many in the Trump Administration's crosshairs, now is the time to strengthen New York's constitution so that everyone is protected. Please feel free to share this with folks you know. Happy to answer any questions.  Full job description below.

Do you love strategizing for websites, email campaigns, and social media? Care deeply about protecting those in the Trump Administration's crosshairs? Miss the hustle and bustle of a political campaign? Looking for a grassroots, bottom up, progressive movement that can achieve real change right here in New York? Then look no further.

This November, New Yorkers will decide whether or not to hold a Constitutional Convention. Winning this vote would be nothing short of revolutionary. It's a once-in-a-generation opportunity to take the decisionmaking out of the hands of legislators and give it directly to the people. We could clean up Albany, protect immigrants, codify equal rights, reform our criminal justice system, and protect our environment from real threats from the federal government. This movement will grow quickly - here is your opportunity to get in early.

Write emails, blog posts, tweets, facebook posts, captions, headers, notes, listicles, and reports.

An ability to write impactful and engaging campaign messaging that resonates with different target audiences across multiple online channels.

The ability to use basic HTML and  image editors such as Photoshop.
The ability to manage several projects in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment.
