  • You’ll be encouraged to bring your own creative voice while learning how to collaborate in a fast-paced political design environment.
  • You’ll design graphics for email, social media, and digital ads.
  • You’ll apply brand guidelines to new and existing creative.
  • You’ll build simple animations (GIFs, video loops) and edit video clips.
  • You’ll assist with print materials like flyers, proposals, and direct mail.
  • You’ll support the creative team on larger design projects including identity design and web graphics.

Requirements

  • You’re excited by the idea of using design to drive progressive change

  • You’re comfortable using tools like Figma, Photoshop, Illustrator, and Canva
  • You’re detail-oriented, take feedback well, and are always looking to learn
  • You’re a senior, in your last year of an undergraduate program, or a recent grad
  • It would be nice if you:
  • Have experience working on design for advocacy, nonprofit, or political projects
  • Are familiar with Adobe After Effects or other motion design tools
  • Know how to edit short videos using After Effects or Premiere Pro
  • Have a working knowledge of accessibility in design
  • Are interested in UX/UI or web design
  • And it’s essential that you:
  • Are committed to working for progressive political candidates and causes
  • Are a team player
  • Follow along with the news of the day, particularly an understanding of the U.S. political system as well as key progressive issues
  • Can commit to full-time (40-hour work week) or near full-time availability, with consistent hours each week
  • Are based in the United States
Benefits
  • We offer a salary of $23 per hour.
  • We are committed to building a diverse and passionate team. We encourage creative-minded individuals with a strong technical aptitude to apply for this position. Women, people of color, and LGBTQ+ individuals are encouraged to apply.
  • Our firm is values-driven. We are intentional with the decidedly left-of-center clients we work with — and we strive to make our work environment and benefits reflect that, including salary transparency, healthy work-life balance, and consistent employee feedback and communication. We’re happy to talk more about our company culture with prospective applicants.
