Edit and produce digital content for amazing Democratic candidates - Digital Editor at Basecamp Strategy, Washington, D.C.

About us:

Basecamp Strategy is a fast-growing digital fundraising firm taking a new approach to digital fundraising and communication. We know that high-quality content drives stronger performance—and we’ve proved it through our work with amazing candidates, including MJ Hegar (TX-31), Abby Finkenauer (IA-01), Mary Gay Scanlon (PA-05), Jahana Hayes (CT-05), Carolyn Long (WA-03), Joe Cunningham (SC-01), Juli Briskman (the woman who flipped off President Trump), and others!

Last cycle, we took over underperforming digital programs, threw out the cookie-cutter approach, replaced it with authentic and honest content, and outraised the competition. The innovations we pioneered in 2018 were just the beginning, and we can’t wait to tell you more about what we have in store for 2020!

Our team is made up of highly collaborative specialists. We’re coders, writers, graphic designers, and fundraisers who work together to innovate across platforms and help our candidates succeed. We’re not just here to do excellent work—we’re here to support candidates we believe in who stand up for our values.

About YOU:

You love crossing every t and dotting every i. But you don’t stop there. Your friends grew tired years ago of hearing your passionate explanation of the difference between an en dash and an em dash. (Don’t worry, we never will!) And you’ve taken a position on the Oxford comma you’ll defend to the grave.

As a Digital Editor, you’re responsible for making sure our content is FLAWLESS when it goes out. Not only does that mean checking every grammar rule, it means making sure every single link goes to the right place, and every single fact is accurate. (Those are just 2 of the 29 items on our QA checklist.) But the role of a great editor goes beyond grammar and accuracy. You’ll also work closely with our content creators to make sure every piece of copy is as strong as possible and conveys each candidate’s unique voice. No two programs we run are the same because no two of our clients are the same!

Additional details:

Our office is located in Washington, D.C. We’re deeply committed to fostering an inclusive, diverse work environment and supporting every member of our team—we want you to grow and excel here.

If interested, please email your resume and 100 words or less on why you’re excited about this position to jo...@basecampstrategy.com. Be sure to put the position you’re applying for and your name in the subject line.
