Job description

Congressman Mike Levin (D-CA-49) is seeking a creative, highly motivated, and digitally savvy Press Secretary/Digital Manager in his Washington, DC office to help drive a robust and fast-paced communications strategy, developing engaging digital content, and expand his presence online and across all social media platforms.

Responsibilities include helping shape and execute social media strategy, creating original content tailored to each platform, and shooting and editing video, often on a rapid-response timeline. The role also covers core press work, including drafting press materials, writing remarks, and pitching stories, as well as coordinating the office's mass communications plan (franking), designing graphics and print materials, writing email newsletters, compiling daily press clips, and more.

The individual will work closely with the Communications Director on day-to-day operations of the communications team that also includes a district-based Press Secretary and a Press Intern.

Candidates should have excellent writing skills, demonstrated experience in social media strategy and content creation, proficiency in graphic design, strong video production and editing skills, and a deep understanding of the evolving digital landscape and emerging trends. We're looking for someone who takes initiative, brings new ideas to the table, is eager to learn, and is always willing to jump in and help wherever needed. Ability to work well with others, manage competing priorities, and turn around high-quality work under tight deadlines are a must.

This is not an entry level position. Two to three years of press-related work experience is required and prior experience on Capitol Hill or with advocacy campaigns is preferred. Salary range is $60,000-$70,000, commensurate with experience.

This office is an equal opportunity employer; we do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, gender identity or expression, or sexual orientation. We strongly value the diversity of our employees and encourage candidates from diverse backgrounds to apply, including women, people of color, and members of the LGBTQ community.
