WHO WE ARE:
ActBlue is a nonprofit that builds tech and infrastructure for Democratic campaigns, progressive-aligned causes, and people trying to make an impact in order to fuel long-term, people-powered change. If you’ve ever given online to a Democrat or progressive organization, chances are you’ve used our powerful online fundraising platform.
We put power in the hands of small-dollar donors and help thousands of groups — from presidential candidates to environmental organizations — build grassroots movements. We envision a democracy where everyone looking to make progressive, people-powered change can easily and effectively deploy their resources, energy, and creativity to shape our country and futures. Each and every one of us, from the political activists to the tech innovators to the customer service pros, is fully committed to our mission.

The Department seeks an experienced Senior Communications Strategist to help carry out that work.
Reporting to the Communications Director, the Senior Communications Strategist will be responsible for planning and executing communications strategies that advance ActBlue’s communications goals.

We’re looking for an excellent communicator with experience in communications and Democratic politics and a strategic mindset. They should have strong project management skills, including demonstrated experience putting together project plans and timelines, engaging stakeholders across teams, and driving toward project goals and meeting project deadlines.
