Social Media Manager
314 Action
Philadelphia, PA, or Washington, DC based (Remote to start, as pandemic conditions permit)

314 Action is a grassroots community of over 5 million people working to elect scientists who will use science and facts to address some of our most pressing issues like climate change and health care. 

In 2020, we helped flip U.S. Senate seats in Arizona and Colorado by drafting Capt. Mark Kelly and former Gov. John Hickenlooper to successfully run for office. After raising more than $22 million in grassroots donations, 314 Action helped elect nearly 20 scientists at the federal level and over 100 scientists at the state and local levels. Of these scientists, 57% were women, 23% were candidates of color, and 24% were first-time candidates for public office.

314 Action and its mission to elect scientists at all levels of government have been featured in pieces by numerous news outlets, including NBC News, CNN, Bloomberg, Newsweek, The Hill, and Huffington Post.

314 Action is looking for a Social Media Manager to build and expand a dynamic and growing social media presence heading into the 2021 elections. In this position, the Social Media Manager will work in tandem with the communications and digital teams in a variety of day-to-day efforts to promote science candidates, hold anti-science candidates accountable, and advance 314 Action's status as the nation's premier organization dedicated to scientific advocacy as well as recruiting, training and electing candidates with STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) backgrounds to all levels of public office.
