DIGITAL CAMPAIGNS MANAGER
Humans in Control is a nonpartisan grassroots organization working to keep people, not AI companies, in charge of our future. We unite parents, workers, veterans, faith leaders, small business owners, and neighbors across the political spectrum around a shared principle: powerful AI is being released while the companies building it write their own rules and answer only to themselves.
About the role
As Digital Campaigns Manager, you will build and run the communications that reach our supporters and equip our organizers. You will create emails, actions, and materials that turn broad public concern into organized action—moving people from signing a pledge to taking a first real step, and from that step to becoming a trained volunteer leader. When AI news breaks, you will help us respond fast and accurately. This is a hands-on production role with real ownership; you should enjoy making and releasing things every week.
Responsibilities
- Write and send our email and SMS programs: action alerts, campaign updates, and newsletters.
- Build and run digital actions: petitions, click-to-call, RSVPs, and shareable asks.
- Load, schedule, test, and automate sends in our CRM and email platform; keep the list clean and segmented.
- Track opens, clicks, conversions, and drop-off—then report what worked and change what didn’t.
- Produce materials for volunteers: tabling handouts, one-pagers, handbooks, sign-up sheets, and event collateral.
- Lay out clean, on-brand materials inside our existing design system and templates.
- Build and update pages on humansincontrol.org using our existing templates and tooling.
- Build landing pages for campaigns, petitions, and ads; write and edit page copy.
- Support our paid digital campaigns with ad copy, landing pages, and reporting.
- Respond quickly when news breaks: build the page, write the email, prep the assets, and publish—often inside a day.
- Learn our policy positions, evidence base, and the claims we won’t make, well enough to draft inside them.
- Own the welcome-to-first-action journey for new supporters end to end.
- Coordinate with our Distributed Organizing Manager to drive digital recruitment for local events and chapters.
- Ensure every campaign email, petition, and action page has a clear next step that moves people deeper into the movement.
- Participate in a weekly comms-and-field planning session where organizing needs shape the production calendar.
Requirements
- Strong, fast, plain-language, and human writing: you can turn a complicated development into something a busy person understands and acts on—without sounding like a robot or a corporation.
- Hands-on experience running an email program: writing, building, sending, testing, and reading the results.
- Comfort inside—or an openness to learn—a CRM and email platform: loading lists, building automations, segmenting, and keeping data clean.
- Design fluency and judgment: you can produce clean, on-brand materials inside an existing design system, and you can tell when something looks off.
- Real fluency with AI tools, ideally including agentic coding tools like Claude Code or Codex.
- The discipline to be accurate under deadline—you know what has to be verified before it ships, and you never stretch a source past what it says.
- Good judgment communicating in a genuinely nonpartisan way with a politically mixed audience: conservatives, moderates, independents, Democrats, Republicans, parents, workers, veterans, faith communities, and rural and working-class people.
- A bias toward testing, learning, and releasing.
- Comfort in a small, early-stage team where you own your work end to end.
Qualifications
We care more about demonstrated skill than years on a résumé. The following are ideal but not required—apply even if you don’t match every line.
- Experience in advocacy, political, campaign, or nonprofit communications.
- Experience with texting or SMS programs.
- Experience creating materials for politically mixed, conservative, moderate, faith-based, parent, veteran, rural, working-class, or non-expert audiences.
- Experience with digital ads—building audiences, writing copy, and reading the reports.
- Experience producing print and field collateral for organizers or volunteers.
- Experience building or editing web pages, whether in a CMS, a static site, or a codebase.
- Experience translating legislation, policy, or technical research for a general audience.
- Experience with Qomon, ActiveCampaign, or comparable tools.
- Experience in a small, fast-moving organization or campaign.
You do not need to be an AI policy expert. You do need to care about the people getting hurt—today and in the future—by AI built without rules.
