Responsibilities

• Own the content calendar across all platforms and accounts.
• Execute the campaign's social media strategy for Alexi Giannoulias and support any secondary campaign accounts.
• Take first draft on the majority of platform content and draft scripts for social media videos.
• Manage content review across internal teams and lead the social media approvals process.
• Lead on drafting rapid response content across platforms.
• Track online trends and the Chicago-specific conversation; identify opportunities to engage appropriately.
• Report regularly on social media analytics.
• Travel to capture photo and video content as needed; assist with video editing as needed — especially vertical video editing.
• Other duties as assigned.

Requirements

• One to three years of experience in social media, digital content, or communications; campaign, advocacy, or nonprofit experience strongly preferred.
• Excellent writing with demonstrated range: you can write a somber statement, a sharp attack, and a joke that lands, and you know which one the moment calls for.
• Proven ability to produce quality work fast under rapid-response pressure.
• Current fluency in the major platforms and how content performs differently on each.
• Experience editing others' work and giving clear, useful feedback; prior management of staff, fellows, or interns is a plus.
• Good knowledge of Chicago — its neighborhoods, communities, media, sports, and internet culture.
• Strong organizational instincts; you can hold a calendar, an approvals queue, and three fires at once.
• Sound political judgment and discretion. You will have the keys to the accounts.
• Commitment to Democratic values and to Alexi's vision for Chicago.
