Reports to :

  • Chief of Communications Location : Hybrid : Washington, D.C.

Status :

  • Full-time, Salaried, Exempt About Groundwork Launched in 2018, Groundwork Collaborative is driven by the idea that We Are The Economy : when all of us are doing well, that is when our economy thrives.
  • We fight for progressive economic policy and narrative change that builds accountable public power, breaks up concentrations of private power, and affirmatively centers people too long left out of prosperity.
  • We understand that taken together, these actions will lead to a stronger and more resilient economy.  Groundwork’s unique structure – part strategic communications, part think tank, and part issue advocacy organization – allows us to drive narrative and policy change with credibility, expertise, and impact.
  • We work with four core audiences – the media, policymakers, economic policy experts, and grassroots organizations.
  • We use targeted policy campaigns, timely research and messaging to build a community across the progressive movement to advance a truly inclusive economic worldview.  Groundwork is looking for a savvy digital communications expert to serve as Managing Director of Digital Strategy.
  • This position will lead Groundwork’s digital media and communications strategy, overseeing the full ecosystem of online communications — from social media and influencer engagement to video, design, and multimedia storytelling.
  • The Managing Director will be responsible for building and managing a team that can execute a comprehensive digital strategy for Groundwork that strategically leverages existing and emerging digital platforms to reach new audiences with content packaged and delivered in a way that makes the case for an economic worldview that centers working people.

  • Develop and execute a cohesive digital communications strategy aligned with Groundwork’s broader narrative, messaging, and policy goals.
  • Build and manage a team (including staff, consultants, and vendors) to execute timely and effective social media content, graphic design, video, web content and analytics.
  • Ensure all digital content conveys Groundwork’s voice and advances Groundwork’s goals, including shaping narratives about the economy, promoting a progressive economic worldview, and amplifying Groundwork’s research and analysis.
  • Develop and execute digital rollout and amplification strategies for Groundwork policy and communications outputs, including reports, briefs, polling, press statements, op-eds, and other materials.
  • Craft and oversee execution of a content strategy that incorporates social media (X / Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn) as well as platforms like YouTube, Substack, Reddit, Twitch, and others.
  • Build relationships with digital influencers and creators, as well as alternate and new media outlets (including podcasts, streamers, Substacks, etc.) to help Groundwork reach new audiences.
  • Closely track conversations and trending topics and identify rapid response opportunities to advance progressive economic narratives in the digital landscape.
  • Oversee design direction and supervise production of digital assets including short-form videos, graphics, data visualizations, and other multimedia storytelling formats.
  • Use data and analytics to track engagement, inform strategy, and optimize performance across Groundwork’s social accounts and digital properties.
  • Perform other duties as assigned.
  • About you
  • You are a seasoned communications strategist with experience running the digital operation for a Hill office, political campaign, or digital-forward advocacy or research organization.

  • You have a strong grasp of online ecosystems, influencer and creator dynamics, and emerging media trends.
  • You have experience producing or overseeing video, graphic design, and multimedia storytelling.
  • You are a strong writer who can draft high-quality, accurate, and compelling copy on tight deadlines.

  • We are a hybrid workplace, with two days a week in the office and three days remote, as well as the occasional need to work in person for events and special projects.
