Job Summary

Press Assistant / Digital Assistant / Digital Manager / Digital Director

Congressman Glenn Ivey (MD-04) seeks a creative, driven, and graphically minded communications professional who is enthusiastic to help grow the Congressman’s social-media presence and online outreach working out of the Washington, D.C., office.

The ideal candidate is a self-starter with an aesthetic eye and technical skills in video recording and editing, photography, iconography, branding, and developing the office's digital strategy. We seek a strong writer, particularly one adept at crafting punchy, eye-catching soundbites and witticisms that tend to draw online attention, in addition to the traditional, long-form exposition that constitutes a robust communications operation. Successful candidates can use Canva and Adobe Creative Suite programs to create high-quality, professional-looking products.

Responsibilities include

• developing all digital content, including copy, graphics, and videos;
• managing and creating content for social media platforms;
• overseeing the franked communications program, including spots online, over the phone, over text, on the radio, and in print;
• designing and drafting a recurrent e-newsletter; building out and updating the Web site;
• and assisting the Communications Director with media requests and press obligations.

Title- from Digital Assistant to Digital Director- and pay will be commensurate with work experience. Candidates at all experience levels are encouraged to apply so long as they possess the skills, talent, and knowledge needed to execute the job well.

Working for this freshman office represents an opportunity to build something dynamic and lasting from the ground up, particularly for a Member of Congress – a former Hill staffer himself – who is a great communicator and cares deeply about his staff's well-being and professional development.

Please submit a cover letter; a resume, including two to three references; and a digital sample (either a graphic or video clip you generated and edited – or preferably both – previously or in response to this job opening) to [email protected] with the subject line: “Full Name – Digital Staffer.” We will accept applications until the position is filled.

Candidates of diverse backgrounds are encouraged to apply, and this office is an equal opportunity employer that does not discriminate based on race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, national origin, disability, military status, age, marital status, or parental status.
