Campaigns Communication Manager

Responsibilities

• Develop and execute integrated communications strategies for active legislative, organizing, electoral, and coalition campaigns.
• Create campaign-specific messaging frameworks, talking points, fact sheets, and one-pagers that support staff, volunteer leaders, and spokespeople—often in fast-paced, high-stakes situations such as the legislative session, organization-wide actions/campaigns, and during elections.
• Partner with the Director of Movement Building, Regional Organizing Manager, and Policy Advisors to ensure communications are aligned with campaign strategy and base-building goals.

• Ensure member voices are meaningfully integrated into campaign communications, press engagement, and public-facing content.
• Develop and maintain a campaign messaging calendar that aligns with organizing milestones, legislative deadlines, and electoral opportunities — including communications for The Mother PAC's endorsement and electoral work.
• Manage day-to-day digital communications — including social media, email, and website content creation — ensuring consistent voice and alignment with campaign priorities.
• Design and produce visual content for digital channels — including campaign graphics, social media visuals, email assets, and short-form multimedia — primarily using Canva, with support from external designers, photographers, or videographers for more complex projects. Ensure all content centers the voices of volunteer leaders and impacted communities.
