The election is so last week. We’ve moved on to the fiscal cliff and preparing for the next Congressional session. AARP’s looking for a smart, savvy social/digital media strategist to help us make sure that Social Security and Medicare are strong for today’s retirees and generations to come.

So, if you just finished winning [insert candidate]’s race, pull yourself off your celebratory beach vacation and apply to join one of the best social teams inside the Beltway.

Must be able to:

- Wow us with a strategic social media campaign that you directed that achieved your goals. 

- Build online campaigns that drive offline action.

- Our team specializes in going rogue. We’re looking for someone that shares our entrepreneurial spirit to try new things, break molds and generally #GSD.

- Map social influencers and develop strategic social campaigns to reach key audiences.

- Manage vendor relationships. 

Bonus points if:

- Your geeky tendencies involve data, anayltics, and coding.

- You herd cats well. We’ve got a lot of people to teach, collaborate and coordinate with and persuade. Your experience dealing with crazy campaign volunteers will help.

- You want to be based in the DC metro area.

- You have experience in communications or advocacy, particularly working in the White House, on The Hill or in a high profile public relations position.
