The digital associate will assist in the development and implementation of innovative, cross-channel digital ad programs, as well as assist with social media and email programs for progressive political candidates and offices, non-profit organizations, and advocacy groups.

This is a junior-level position – we are not expecting candidates to have robust digital experience or skills. Instead, we are looking for candidates who are both creative and analytical, with strong written communication skills, a demonstrated interest in government and politics, strong attention to detail in all aspects of work, and a desire to learn and master digital advertising as it relates to campaigns and mission-driven work. The ability to write well and distill complex policies and ideas into concise digital content is a requirement. Must be willing to work nights and weekends, as needed. Creativity and a sense of humor are a plus. 

The Role:

• Help implement paid digital strategies and budgets and track pacing and performance
• Draft digital ad content, from social media ads to digital videos
• Assist with reporting on ad programs, including on client calls and in meetings
• Constantly seek creative opportunities for engagement across platforms
• Aid in the drafting of social media and email content, as well as in posting and sending of approved content
• Assist in other projects as needed

Requirements

Skills and Experience:

• Clear, concise, and engaging writing style
• Competency with Excel and Google Sheets, including pivot tables and VLOOKUP
• Comfort with social media platforms, especially Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram
• Ability to execute quality work under tight deadlines with little oversight
• Strong project-management and time-management skills

Other Preferred Skills and Experience:

• Experience with Meta Ads Manager, Google Ads
• Experience pulling reporting numbers for digital ad campaigns or competitors' campaigns
• Experience with Sprout Social, Mailchimp, Nationbuilder, ActBlue, Action Network, SquareSpace, NGP, and/or ActionKit
• Experience working in government offices or on political campaigns

This position has a very generous benefits package, including flexible/remote work location options, health care, 401(k), and flexible vacation and personal time. The salary range for this role is $50,000 - $65,000, annual salary.

We are committed to diversity, not just in the candidates and causes we work for, but in the company we aim to be. All candidates should have the cultural competence to successfully work with diverse groups of clients and co-workers alike. We especially encourage applicants from communities of color, the LGBTQ+ or non-binary community, or disabled communities.  

We provide equal employment opportunities (EEO) to all employees and applicants for employment without regard to race, color, religion, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, national origin, age, disability, genetic information, marital status, amnesty, or status as a covered veteran in accordance with applicable federal, state and local laws.
