On an average day, you might be taking a design mockup and coding it into a dynamic, mobile-responsive website or building a Twitter widget so supporters of a campaign can tweet at legislators.

Above all, Veracity is a fun, exciting, and flexible place to work.

• Highly creative, innovative thinker capable of handling multiple projects across all phases of execution with excellent attention to detail

• Interest in design and UI

• Experience building wireframes

• Strong communication skills, flexible and client-oriented

• Experience with NGP/VAN, Salsa, NationBuilder or other CRMs
