ABOUT REPRESENTUS
RepresentUs is the nation’s leading right-left anti-corruption organization. We bring together conservatives, progressives, and everyone in between to secure crucial victories that are defending our Republic and fixing America’s corrupt political system.

But what it means for you, potential coworker, is that you feel what we feel when you wake up every day: a strong sense of purpose that binds you to the spirit of this nation, and an overwhelming sense that you should do something about it. And you want to work with people who feel the same.

RepresentUs is a carefully curated mix of seasoned political campaigners, policy wonks, advertising experts, designers, and engineers. We’re not a startup, but we’ve got startup DNA: we’re nimble, constantly learning and iterating, and we push ourselves to push the envelope—to ignore “industry standards” and set a new standard.

We’re looking for enthusiastic new minds to help us grow, move faster, and achieve more. We believe our political system should reflect the varied voices of our nation, and so should our team. That’s why we’re an Equal Opportunity Employer; people of color, women, people with disabilities, and LGBTQ candidates are strongly encouraged to apply.

In 2018, we helped pass 23 anti-corruption measures—a historic year for the movement.

We’re headquartered in Northampton, MA and also have staff around the country. Come win with us!

ABOUT YOU
You are an experienced online campaign strategist with a knack for creative storytelling and an unrelenting drive to take projects from vision through execution.

You know how to communicate with a wide range of audiences, from designers to campaign managers to reporters to millennial voters. Perhaps more importantly, you know when to communicate with them and how to get it done: you can look at a campaign plan and tell the team what is missing from the digital strategy; you know when to get on a call to hash something out, when to send it to a partner to review, and when to just get it done.

You demonstrate personal accountability in your job performance, and you’re able to move quickly and capably between a wide range of responsibilities. You live for winning campaigns and you’re willing to think outside the box to get things done. You’re adept at anticipating needs, comfortable taking initiative and direction, and are an effective problem solver and communicator.
