[Hiring] Senior Social Strategist @Forward Blue

Role Description

Forward Blue is a grassroots-funded progressive PAC that raises money and builds power for bold Democrats nationwide and turns out low-propensity young voters. We sit outside the party apparatus on purpose. That independence lets us hold Democrats accountable when they fall short, and keep relentless pressure on MAGA when they don't. The voices that carry that message best are creators young people already trust, and this role is how we earn and keep those relationships. This is a cycle role with the opportunity to become permanent, with an estimated end date of November 31, 2028.

Your mandate is to build a funnel that turns young people who aren't political yet into strong, involved voters, and then into the doers and givers who sustain the movement. The activists and donors who have powered progressive politics for decades are aging out, and no one is reliably replacing them. You own every stage:

• Reach: meet young people where they already are.
  • Use creators, podcasters, streamers, and community voices across culture, comedy, gaming, sports, campus life, and lifestyle to put our message in front of young people who don't follow politics yet.
• Engage: make a must-follow organic channel for young Democrats.
  • Set the voice and output for our own accounts so they move fast, hit hard, and stay funny, and turn passing attention into followers who stick around.
• Convert: move them into doers and givers.
  • Use ManyChat flows, SMS keywords, tracked links, and creator calls to action to bring engaged followers onto our lists, then into volunteering, organizing, and giving, cycle after cycle.

Across all three, you deploy a seven-figure budget with discipline. Decide where paid partnerships, organic seeding, events, and creator support earn their keep, and report what each dollar bought at every stage, from reach to sustaining base growth.

This is a builder role. You will stand up the program, set its standards, and execute on ideas.

Qualifications

• 3-4+ years (or 2 cycles) running social, content, or creator programs for a campaign, party committee, advocacy organization, PAC, or comparable brand.
• A track record of content that broke out of the political bubble, with numbers to back it up.
• Real relationships with creators, and a reputation among them as someone who treats them as partners.
• Experience running a creator, influencer, or paid social budget and showing what it bought.
• A sharp, funny, unflinching voice that can go after MAGA and still level with our own side.
• Fluency in platform mechanics, analytics, and the tools that turn reach into sign-ups and dollars.
• Working knowledge of disclosure rules for paid political content, or the judgment to know when to call counsel.

Requirements
