Digital Content Manager

At Crooked, we believe the answer to a rising authoritarian movement is a democratic movement powerful enough to fight it and (fingers crossed) defeat it. That means using all the tools at our disposal as a media company to help build a massive, diverse coalition united behind a core set of democratic values: freedom, equality, compassion, and the rule of law.

Job Summary:

Crooked is hiring for a Digital Content Manager on the Politics department reporting to the Director, Communications & Political Strategy to develop and oversee the digital content (proactive and responsive) for Vote Save America and Crooked’s political campaigns that advance the organizations’ political priorities and convert new and existing audiences into action.
