[DGFG] [FT, Hybrid, United States] Deputy Digital Director
Eric Leisure
🪪 Deputy Digital Director (Project 26 Pennsylvania)
📍 United States, Pennsylvania (Hybrid)
🕣 Full Time
💵 6500-7120
Project 26 is the home for Pennsylvania youth who are ready to challenge the far-right's attack on our futures and build a Pennsylvania where Gen-Z can lead and thrive.
The outcome of Pennsylvania’s 2026 elections will determine the balance of power in the House which will influence the make-up of Congress, as some of the most competitive congressional races will happen in our backyard. Which will allow us to create a congress that can hold the President accountable to representing the people, not billionaires.
In 2026, young Pennsylvanians will have the opportunity to elect a Governor, who will be instrumental in standing up to a government that has constantly overlooked the youth. At an estimated 793,555 registered voters across the state, Gen-Z has the power to determine the outcomes of these elections–but only if we get organized now.
Since 2023, P26 has built a team of strong youth advocates for Gen-Z, and has worked to create a community for us in politics, through peer-to-peer outreach, —and we’re building a scrappy and innovative team that will organize and inspire thousands of PA youth to vote in both the Primary and General Elections in 2026.

The Deputy Digital Director, in concert with the Digital Director, will oversee the organization’s social media and content creation pipeline and support digital operations spanning our digital organizing efforts to paid media programs, ensuring our online presence drives action in the campus community and translates to votes at the ballot box.
