Senator Elizabeth Warren, a champion for working families, is looking a talented writer to join her digital team’s 2018 re-election campaign. 

You’ll help tell the story of our campaign for millions of people across Massachusetts and around the country – and motivate people to join this fight.

• Writing mass emails, social media content, blog posts, text messages, and other content meant for digital consumption.
• Coordinate with our campaign’s Field, Finance, and Communications campaigns to come up with new content ideas that showcase the work happening across our campaign – and manage the process for turning those ideas into words.
• Perform other duties – digital and non-digital – for our scrappy team as needed.

Qualifications:

• Strong writing and storytelling skills with a clear and concise voice. You should be able to write the way that real people talk – to tell Elizabeth’s story, the stories of the people who work/volunteer on our campaign, and the stories of the people she’s fighting for, and to explain complex policy ideas in simple and compelling content.
• Willingness to write many drafts to a/b test and optimize performance, and eagerness to come up with new ways to reach more people online.
• Understanding of the difference in tone, audiences, and calls to action suitable for different types of online platforms, including email, social posts, blog posts, tweets and text.
• Meticulous attention to detail.
• Experience using content management systems like Wordpress, Drupal, or ExpressionEngine.
• Experience using political mass mailer systems like Blue State Digital, Salsa, Action Network, or commercial systems like MailChimp, Silverpop, or Exact Target preferred. 
• Experience writing for a political campaign or advocacy campaign preferred but not required (as long as you have a strong interested in politics and helping Elizabeth get re-elected in 2018). If you’re new to the field but hoping to apply your skills to a good cause, we hope to hear from you.
• Willingness to work long and unpredictable hours and pitch in wherever needed.
