As a Senior Writer on the Grassroots Editorial Team, you’ll play a key role in crafting clear, concise, and compelling communications that empower millions of people across the country to advocate for policy changes that get results. You’ll write across platforms for Stand Together and key partners like Americans for Prosperity (AFP), AFP Action, The LIBRE Initiative, and Concerned Veterans for America, helping to drive societal change through effective storytelling that emphasizes aligning the key institutions of government to their proper roles. This role requires 5+ years of relevant experience in grassroots politics, journalism, or political communications — including elections-related work— and the ability to translate complex ideas into clear narratives and a strong understanding of tone and audience. (Additional experience is a plus.) You’ll need to be entrepreneurial, feedback-friendly, results-oriented, and have a strong eye for accuracy and brevity. You must also demonstrate a clear understanding of the political and electoral landscape and our diverse stakeholders’ nuanced messaging, while continually honing your craft, and helping others do the same by: Helping shape editorial strategy for key programs and partners, identifying opportunities to strengthen messaging consistency and impact across channels.
