Digital Communications Manager/Director

Representative Seth Moulton (D-MA) is hiring a hard-working, dynamic, and team-oriented Digital Communications Manager or Director for his Salem Congressional Office. Salary and title are commensurate with experience and competitive with similar public service jobs.

The Digital Communications staffer will be responsible for managing Congressman Moulton’s digital brand – including paid and organic social media, email newsletters, the Congressman’s official website, and more. This role will also be charged with expanding the team’s use of video, educating our constituents about Congressman Moulton’s work, and creatively engaging and growing our online audiences.

This position will also support the drafting and distribution of written materials like media advisories and remarks for District events. They will frequently attend events with Congressman Moulton and capture video and photos for social media and newsletter content.

This position is based out of the Salem, MA office and will report directly to the DC-based Communications Director. The communications team will work together seamlessly across Washington and Massachusetts. This is not an entry level position.
