Job Summary

Own and scale AVs social content program from planning through execution across multiple channels, shaping policy conversations, and using AI to accelerate production and insights.

  • Own the end-to-end social content lifecycle for AV, from editorial planning to post-performance analysis.
  • Translate complex policy ideas into accessible and engaging content and help leaders grow their authentic digital voice.

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Build and maintain an editorial calendar across X, LinkedIn, and emerging channels, tied to organizational priorities, policy cycles, and issue moments.
  • Draft and publish clear, evidence-grounded posts that translate complex policy positions and research findings into accessible, shareable content.
  • Adapt longform assets such as reports, op-eds, event remarks, and press coverage into channel-native derivatives, so that a single research report yields a thread, a LinkedIn article, a set of quote cards, and a newsletter input.
  • Monitor conversations across channels and engage constructively on AV’s behalf.
  • Identify opportunities to engage and shape policy conversations and proactively provide recommendations to the relevant team leads for timely engagement.
  • Partner with the media and advocacy teams to turn real-time developments, including policy announcements, legislative votes, and media hits, into timely social content.
  • Track narrative shifts, polarization trends, and emerging issue conversations, and proactively surface opportunities to the team.
  • Help measure performance on AV’s social channels, using data to refine our digital presence over time and working closely with the Manager, Web and Analytics on informing the measurement strategy.
  • Help AV thought leaders build their social presence where it advances organizational goals, helping high-profile and subject matter experts find an authentic digital voice.
  • Develop social-ready commentary, threads, and bylines that appeal to policy experts, journalists, and other opinion leaders.

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree
  • At least 5 years of experience in social content, digital communications, or content marketing, including at least 2 years integrating AI tools into daily production work.
  • Strong writing and editing skills, with a portfolio that demonstrates range across formats, audiences, and voices.
  • Experience owning social content end to end, including editorial calendar, creation, publishing, community management, and performance analysis.
  • Working knowledge of social analytics and monitoring tools, and the judgment to translate what they show into content decisions. Experience with SEO, web analytics (GA4), or email marketing tools (Mailchimp) is preferred.
  • Proficiency with AI tools and workflow automation platforms as a core part of your production process.
  • Comfort operating in advocacy and policy environments, with experience in or around federal, state, or local policy preferred.
  • High tolerance for ambiguity and comfort working in a dynamic, initiative-based environment with shifting priorities and cross-team collaboration.

Benefits

  • AV is committed to providing a robust and comprehensive benefits package to eligible employees. Our current benefits package includes 100% paid employee premiums for medical, dental, vision, basic life, and short- and long-term disability insurance; 20 days of paid time off, 16 paid holidays (including a winter break from December 24 to January 1), a hybrid policy that includes four days in office and one flexible day for remote work, and a summer schedule with alternating Fridays off beginning on Memorial Day and ending on Labor Day; paid parental leave; a 401k retirement savings plan with an employer match, profit-share contribution, and immediate vesting; pre-tax transit benefits; a professional development stipend; a charitable giving stipend; and an employee assistance program. In addition, a relocation bonus is available for candidates who will move for a position.
