The Maine Democratic Party is seeking a press assistant to provide support to our communications shop for the 2016 cycle. The press assistant’s responsibilities will include, but are not limited to: media monitoring; media list management; press event staffing; and extensive writing. There is a heavy administrative component to this job, but there is also unlimited opportunity to draft meaningful written content.
Above all, the press assistant must be a strong writer with a sharp eye for detail. This is a tremendous opportunity for a recent grad to gain substantive campaign experience within a team that is deeply committed to the professional growth of each of its members. We work insanely hard, but we have a lot of fun doing it.
Send a resume, writing sample, and a paragraph or two explaining why you’d be a good fit to kba...@mainedems.org. We hope you consider joining us!
