JOB DESCRIPTION

Congressman Jason Crow (D-CO-06) seeks an innovative and forward-thinking** Director of Digital & New Media** to serve in his Washington, DC office. The position will lead the Congressman’s digital, video, and new media strategy to help build and expand opportunities for the Congressman to engage online.

Candidates must be willing to travel, work long hours (including nights and weekends), and be part of an office on the front lines of resisting harmful Trump Administration policies. Candidates should be well-versed in photography and videography and should have a background in advanced photo and video editing programs. Because this position will also manage digital platforms and relationships, candidates should be comfortable writing social copy and working with external messaging partners and online content creators.

The ideal candidate will have a background in political communications or campaigns, but any creative and self-starting person should apply. This is not an entry level position. The Director of Digital & New Media will work regularly with the Congressman, report to the Communications Director, and collaborate hand-in-hand with the rest of a four-person communications team.

Responsibilities include:

• Envisioning, drafting, and posting engaging digital content across relevant platforms, including but not limited to Meta (Facebook/Instagram), X, BlueSky, TikTok, and YouTube

• Creating high-quality videos from start to finish, including idea generation, script drafts, film design, film edits, and final posts

• Assisting with rapid response needs as they relate to digital platforms, including clipping/captioning content, boosting posts, and coordinating with external partners on them

• Booking the Congressman on new media platforms—including podcasts, Substacks, and digital content creator livestreams—and coordinating/staffing appearances for them

• Managing relationships with external digital partners and building new partnerships to advance the Congressman’s brand

• Maintaining and updating the Congressman’s website

• Designing digestible graphics and one-pagers for internal and external partners

• Collaborating with policy staff and the rest of the press team to translate the Congressman’s priorities into a digital format

• Supporting other day-to-day needs of the Communications team

The salary range for this position is $80,000-$85,000 per year, commensurate with experience. In addition, the Congressman’s office offers a competitive package of benefits, including health insurance, transit benefits/parking, 401(k) retirement match, student loan repayment/tuition assistance, paid family leave, and more.

This office is an equal opportunity employer and does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, national origin, disability, military status, age, marital status, or parental status.

Interested applicants are encouraged to submit a resume, cover letter, and digital portfolio as a single PDF to co06.resumes@mail.house.gov with the subject line “[LAST NAME] – Director of Digital & New Media.” Applications will be considered on a rolling basis. No walk-ins or phone calls, please.
