[jobsthatareLEFT by GAIN] Deputy Director of Operations, Basecamp Strategy, DC: Do you get a thrill every time you cross something off of your checklist? This just might be your dream job!

You love details, spreadsheets, workflows, Excel, and databases. You're a fast learner and critical thinker with great judgment—maybe you love logic games, trivia, or puzzles, but you definitely love checklists and you definitely love checking things off those lists. 


You're good at math and you're good at numbers. You're wildly organized, love to multi-task, and have an incredible attention to detail. You 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. You love the challenge of getting as many things done as possible, without making ANY mistakes or letting anything slip through the cracks. 


Because you realize that, in the business of putting digital content into the world that tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of people will consume, there's no room for error. You thrive in an environment that requires getting everything right, every single time. Getting 99 out of 100 things correct doesn't mean an A, it could well mean a major embarrassment for a member of Congress.


As our Deputy Director of Operations, you'll work with our Director of Operations to make sure every single one of our incredible clients gets lightning-fast turnaround and high-quality content. You should be excited to tackle all elements of the digital fundraising process.


Your work will involve both navigating internal team members like coders, writers, editors, and fundraisers AND working directly with clients to ensure the smoothest process. One moment you'll be uploading a list, another you'll be emailing copy to a client or fielding a phone call from a candidate. We're here to keep our clients exceptionally happy, so you not only love the details, but you love making sure clients are thrilled about them as well.

About Basecamp Strategy:


Whew! That was a lot about you. Here's what you need to know about us:


We win tough races and elect incredible people by raising our clients as much money as possible online. But we're a different kind of digital fundraiser. We motivate with honesty and authenticity. We're digital storytellers. And not only do candidates, donors, and voters prefer our style, we've seen time and again that this kind of content drives the strongest fundraising online. 


The best digital strategies have yet to be invented and we're here to innovate. We're here to challenge assumptions and figure out what performs the best today, not what worked in 2012, 2014, 2016, or last May.


We're full members of our clients' teams and our mission is to support our candidates and their staffs in any way we can, because they're doing the hardest work there is: running and winning tough races.


And we can only do exceptional work if we have the best team in the business. We're a team of specialists. We're in awe of each other's talents. Every day, our editors look at our coders who look at our client leads, who look at our fundraisers, who look at our writers, who look back at our editors and we all say to each other: "I'm so glad I don't have your job, but I love mine." 


A job here isn't for the faint of heart. Our work demands a lot of us, and we love delivering the best possible results for our clients, because the work of electing Democrats is too important to do it any other way. And because, above all else, we hate doing mediocre work.


Our approach has gotten us noticed and our team is growing and evolving quickly. No one is doing the same job they were doing six months ago, or even three months or a month ago. You'll be asked to learn quickly, and the moment you've nailed it we hope you'll be ready to learn something new. If you love a fast-paced environment, doing tremendously good work efficiently, thinking outside the box and figuring out how to go from great to incredibly great, then you'll love it here. 


We work with clients up and down the ballot, including members of Congress like Rep. Abby Finkenauer, Rep. Mary Gay Scanlon, and Rep. Chris Pappas, and Red to Blue challengers like Carolyn Long (WA-03). And we just helped elect the youngest mayor of Kansas City in more than a century.


Additional details: 


Our office is located 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.
