[jobsthatareLEFT by GAIN] Digital Directors for 2020 Senate Campaigns

Senate campaigns around the country are preparing for the 2020 campaign cycle. The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) is assisting campaigns by seeking applicants for Digital Directors for Senate races in the 2020 campaign cycle. As a senior staff member, this person will work closely with a digital firm to manage the campaign's digital operation including email fundraising, social media, digital advertising, website content, and digital organizing. A successful candidate will be prepared to build process, design strategy, and oversee implementation with a growing team.

This is a general call for applicants so that we can better help Senate races staff their teams on the ground. It is not for a role at the DSCC. To be considered, please submit your resume here: http://www.dscc.org/about-us/jobs/

Campaigns, rather than the DSCC, are responsible for all hiring decisions, and will determine salary range and specific job duties.
