Position: Digital Programs Manager
Supervisor: Deputy Director of Digital Programs
Description
Major national civic engagement nonprofit organizations seek a digital programs manager to build large-scale online voter registration, vote-by-mail and mobilization efforts.
Organization
For the last 16 years, the Voter Participation Center (VPC), a 501(c)(3) civic engagement organization, has led the way in recognizing and harnessing the potential power of the Rising American Electorate (RAE)—unmarried women, people of color, and young people—as a vital voting bloc. The VPC has positioned itself as the leading experimental and scientific civic engagement organization by accumulating more than a decade's worth of knowledge and experience in registering and turning out this new majority of eligible voters. The VPC's programs have consistently proven to be some of the most impactful and cost-effective programs in the civic engagement community—and to date the VPC has helped over 4.4 million Americans register to vote and thousands apply to vote by mail. The VPC's 2018 registration and turnout programs were the largest in organizational history, and the VPC's 2020 programs are on track to be even larger.
The Center for Voter Information (CVI) is a progressive 501(c)(4) nonprofit that works to engage and persuade both the RAE as well as the broader electorate.
Role
The Digital Programs manager will support the VPC's and the CVI's digital programs to register, mobilize and inform the electorate via research-informed tactics and strategies. This is a cycle role and will end December 31 2020. This position is in Washington DC.

Support implementation of the VPC's and the CVI's online voter registration, digital vote-by mail and mobilization programs
Collaborate with communications team and monitor and support VPC's social media pages and inquiries
Design and test new messaging and approaches for peer to peer sms turnout and vote by mail pushes
Own pieces of the VPC's pilot digital programs, including a influencer strategy
Help ensure that programs aimed at increasing participation among historically underrepresented communities are culturally competent and produce the intended impact
Keep up to date tracking and reporting for individual digital projects
The ideal candidate will have:
2+ years professional experience, including experience with paid digital programs and social media
Experience with paid digital organizing strategies and tactics including digital platforms, email, and SMS preferred
Experience with digital direct acquisition programs preferred
Experience on electoral or advocacy campaigns preferred
Excellent communication, writing, and time-management skills
