- Deputy Director of Operations at Basecamp Strategy, Washington, D.C.
About us:
Basecamp Strategy is a fast-growing digital fundraising firm taking a new approach to digital fundraising and communication. We know that high-quality content drives stronger performance—and we've proved it through our work with amazing candidates, including MJ Hegar (TX-31), Abby Finkenauer (IA-01), Mary Gay Scanlon (PA-05), Jahana Hayes (CT-05), Carolyn Long (WA-03), Joe Cunningham (SC-01), Juli Briskman (the woman who flipped off President Trump), and others!

Our team is made up of highly collaborative specialists. We're coders, writers, graphic designers, and fundraisers who work together to innovate across platforms and help our candidates succeed. We're not just here to do excellent work—we're here to support candidates we believe in who stand up for our values.
About YOU:
You love the idea of putting your talents and energy to use in politics by raising money for a diverse set of candidates. You're a fast learning critical thinker with great judgment—you might enjoy logic games, trivia, or puzzles, but above all, you LOVE checking things off your to do list.
You're fluent in data manipulation, list maintenance, and all things Excel. You're also wildly organized, love to multi-task with an incredible attention to detail, and can keep 300 things in the air without letting a single one of them drop. You love a fast-paced work environment and hold yourself to a high standard of work.
As the Deputy Director of Operations, you'll work with our Director of Operations to make sure every single one of our incredible clients gets lightening-fast turnaround and high-quality content. You should be detail-oriented and hyper-organized, and a willing collaborator who is excited to tackle all elements of the digital fundraising process.
Additional details:
Our office is located in Eastern Market in Washington, D.C. We're deeply committed to fostering an inclusive, diverse work environment and supporting every member of our team—we want you to grow and excel here.

Senior Digital Strategist
Love digital fundraising? Have experience raising money online, but HATE ALL THE SHOUTING AND WONDER IF IT'S REALLY NECESSARY? (It's not.)
- Digital Strategist/Senior Digital Strategist/Director of Digital Strategy (Depending on experience) at Basecamp Strategy, Washington D.C.
About us:

About YOU:
You have experience in digital fundraising for Democrats, non-profits, or organizations, and you love raising money online. But you're fed up with the fact that you have to generate content you're not quite proud of in order to raise money online.
We're here to tell you: There IS a better way to raise money.
At Basecamp Strategy, we've seen time and again that the more authentic a candidate is online, the more successful they are in their digital fundraising. Content that tells their story in their voice resonates more strongly with digital supporters and in turn, raise more money. Creating honest content that results in strong digital fundraising is what drives our work.
We're a fast growing firm (because our approach raises more money, and candidates prefer it) so we're looking for the right Digital Strategist, Senior Digital Strategist, or Director of Digital Strategy to join our team, depending on your level of experience.
You should have a keen attention to detail, the ability to prioritize several tasks without letting anything fall through the cracks, love a fast-paced work environment, hold yourself to a high standard of work, and have a passion for electing kickass Democrats!
If interested, please email your resume, 100 words or less on why you're excited about this position, and 100 words or less about your experience in digital fundraising to jobs@basecampstrategy.com. Be sure to put the position you're applying for and your name in the subject line.

About YOU:
You love crossing every t and dotting every i. But you don't stop there. Your friends grew tired years ago of hearing your passionate explanation of the difference between an en dash and an em dash. (Don't worry, we never will!) And you've taken a position on the Oxford comma you'll defend to the grave.
As a Digital Editor, you're responsible for making sure our content is FLAWLESS when it goes out. Not only does that mean checking every grammar rule, it means making sure every single link goes to the right place, and every single fact is accurate. (Those are just 2 of the 29 items on our QA checklist.) But the role of a great editor goes beyond grammar and accuracy. You'll also work closely with our content creators to make sure every piece of copy is as strong as possible and conveys each candidate's unique voice. No two programs we run are the same because no two of our clients are the same!
