Social Media/Digital Content/Graphics

Social Media & Digital Content Specialist

Part-Time | 15–20 Hours Per Week | Long-Term Opportunity

I run a busy political consulting firm in California, working with candidates and campaigns on strategy, communications, digital content, fundraising and voter outreach.

I'm looking for a smart, creative and highly reliable person to become an important part of our team. This is not simply a social media posting job and it is not a traditional administrative VA position. I'm looking for someone who can handle a wide range of digital, creative and research projects — and who takes real pride in producing excellent work.

What You'll Do

Social Media & Content

• Create professional, engaging graphics for Facebook , Instagram and other platforms
• Create and edit Reels and short-form video
• Create Stories, endorsement graphics, event graphics, issue posts, quote cards and other campaign content
• Format and schedule approved social media posts
• Maintain content calendars for multiple clients
• Resize and adapt content for different platforms
• Help organize photo, video and creative assets

Graphic Design & Digital Materials

• Design invitations, event graphics, flyers, email graphics and other digital materials
• Work within established campaign branding and templates
• Create new concepts when needed without making everything look like a template
• Make revisions quickly and accurately

Websites & SEO

• Make routine updates to campaign websites
• Add endorsements, events, photos, news and other content
• Format pages so they look polished and professional
• Handle basic SEO, including page titles, descriptions, keywords, links and image optimization
• Identify opportunities to improve search visibility

Research & List Building

• Conduct online research on organizations, endorsers, media, community groups, elected officials and other campaign targets
• Find and verify names, titles, email addresses, phone numbers and other contact information
• Build clean, accurate spreadsheets and outreach lists
• Research topics and provide concise, useful findings — not pages of copied search results

Who I'm Looking For

You should be:

• An excellent Canva user with a strong design eye
• Very strong Adobe Express user
• Comfortable editing short-form video
• Experienced with social media platforms and scheduling tools
• Comfortable working with websites such as Squarespace
• Familiar with basic SEO
• A very good online researcher
• Excellent with Google Sheets/Excel and list building
• Able to understand written English extremely well
• Detail-oriented and obsessive about accuracy
• Fast, responsive and dependable
• Comfortable juggling several projects and clients
• Able to follow established branding and instructions
• Willing to ask questions when something isn't clear
• Capable of working independently once you understand an assignment

You do not need previous U.S. political campaign experience. I can teach you the political side. I cannot teach attention to detail, good judgment, creativity or a strong work ethic.

Very Important

This is a fast-moving business. Sometimes we'll know what's coming several days in advance. Sometimes a major endorsement comes in and we need a great graphic that day.

I don't expect you to be available 24/7, but responsiveness and communication matter a lot.

I also care about quality. I would rather have someone tell me, "I can have this done in two hours" and deliver something excellent than send me mediocre work in 20 minutes.

Schedule

Approximately 15–20 hours per week to start, with the potential for additional hours and responsibility for the right person.

Because we're based in California, some overlap with U.S. Pacific Time will be important. We can work out a schedule that provides both regular working hours and reasonable flexibility.

Compensation

$10–$15 USD/hour to start, depending on experience and portfolio.

I'm willing to pay well for someone who is genuinely excellent. This is intended to be an ongoing position, not a short-term project.

How to Apply

Please send:

1. A brief introduction about yourself and why this position interests you.
2. Links or samples showing your best social media graphics, digital design and short-form video work.
3. Examples of websites you've worked on, if applicable.
4. A brief description of your experience with SEO, online research and list building.
5. The programs/platforms you use regularly.
6. Your hourly rate and typical availability.

Please do not send a generic application telling me you are hardworking, passionate and perfect for the position. Show me what you can do.

I'm looking for someone who wants to become a trusted part of a small, busy team and do work they can be proud of. If you're creative, resourceful, fast and extremely good at what you do, I'd like to hear from you.
