Social Media Manager

About FiNC

We're upgrading how America chooses its leaders. Right now, three middlemen decide which candidates you ever hear about: big money, party gatekeepers, and media manipulation. They control the money, the access, and the visibility every candidate needs to win. Good candidates are everywhere: teachers, veterans, small business owners, community leaders who genuinely want to represent people. The system is just built to keep them invisible.

FiNC is cutting out the middleman. Think of us as a matchmaker for civic life: we connect citizens to the candidates who actually want to represent them, the movements working on what they care about, and the people building the same world they want. No gatekeeper deciding who you get to choose from. We don't pick sides. FiNC is the referee, not a player. Not left, not right, just representation.

The DP Hub (hub.futureis.org) is live now: candidate profiles, a Civic Tags system that lets candidates define themselves beyond party labels, citizen priority surveys, and growing Candidate Discovery. Movements and communities are our biggest growth engine right now, because they bring the citizens candidates want to reach.

What makes this work isn't just the technology. FiNC's core focus is the human side: outreach, PR, social media, and building citizen buy-in. We're not marketing a website. We're campaigning for a better way to choose leaders. Every candidate with a profile and every movement that plugs in benefits from that ongoing work. And the system is built so everyone lifts everyone. When a candidate shares their profile, citizens who click through discover other candidates. When a movement drives people to the DP Hub, those citizens find candidates aligned with their values. A different incentive structure than anywhere else in politics.

Our structure matters: FiNC is building something akin to a cooperative-style nonprofit where team members are partners and co-architects in a mission to rebuild how American democracy works. If you're ready to help build the civic infrastructure America never got, with citizens and not gatekeepers, step in.

Compensation Model

Part-Time (15–20 hrs/week) with delayed compensation. To maintain our independence and avoid conflicts of interest, we are not accepting investors or financing that comes with strings attached. Instead, we are Crowd-Starting FiNC—building it together from the ground up. We're asking team members to contribute 15-20 hours per week during this phase, with compensation paid retroactively once we become fully operational. This model only works if you see it as a short-term investment for long-term rewards. Everyone who joins is a partner, receiving an ownership stake in FiNC. Our structure is similar to a Nonprofit Cooperative, moving beyond the traditional “employee vs employer” dynamic into something more collaborative and forward-thinking. This model filters for people who believe in the mission deeply enough to build alongside us. It's not for everyone, and that's okay.

Culture

• Neurodiversity and diversity-of-thought are strengths, not obstacles
• Servant leadership, dynamic team structures, and shared ownership
• Purpose over profits, value over hours, and respect for work-life balance
• We reward authenticity, passion, and commitment, not conformity
• We support individual weaknesses to enhance collective strengths
• Continuous role assessments, long-term growth opportunities, and real career sustainability

About the Role

Social media is our biggest team and our loudest voice. It's where most people first find FiNC, and it moves fast. We're looking for someone to be the person who keeps that whole engine running. Think of this as the connective tissue of the team. You won't be creating every post yourself. We have a strong pipeline for that: copywriters, graphic designers, and video editors build the content, then it comes to you. Your job is to make sure it all gets where it needs to go, on time, and looking great.

Responsibilities

• Schedule and post content across all our social platforms. Kari handles the deeper tech and systems side, so the two of you will work closely.
• Pull together monthly analytics for all our socials and our website, so the team can see what's working and what isn't.
• Keep the content pipeline moving. Check that everything's ready, catch what's missing, and reach out to the right person for changes or fixes when needed.
• Help coordinate the people on the team and keep collaboration smooth. This is not a management role. You won't be anyone's boss. You'll be the organized center that keeps a busy, creative team in sync.

Growth Potential

This role sits close to the heart of what we do, and there's real room to grow. As FiNC grows, the right person could step into a bigger role and become part of our leadership, helping shape where our whole social effort goes next.

Skills We're Looking For

We'd love for you to check off the majority of this list. We don't expect anyone to hit all of it:

• Some copywriting, enough to unstick a bottleneck or make a quick tweak
• Basic graphic design (Canva, Adobe Photoshop, or similar)
• Minor video editing, a plus
• A feel for how social algorithms work, and ideas for growing our campaigns and our overall social strategy
• Comfortable on camera. This is a MAJOR plus. Think short videos, and possibly even a role on our podcast.
• Good at pulling people together and keeping meetings collaborative

Who We're Looking For

Here's the honest part: we care far more about who you are than what's on your resume. We're not counting years of experience. Some of our best people came in young, hungry, and new to the work. What matters most to us:

• You're fired up about the mission
• You're organized, reliable, and easy to work with
• You pick things up fast and like figuring things out
• You bring good energy to a team
