The New Jersey Democratic Assembly Campaign Committee (DACC) seeks creative, motivated, and highly organized individuals to serve as Legislative District Digital Organizers for the 2027 election cycle. With all 40 New Jersey legislative districts holding elections for the State Senate and General Assembly in 2027, DACC is recruiting Digital Organizers to support competitive Democratic legislative campaigns statewide. Digital Organizers will work as part of a team supporting multiple legislative candidates within an assigned district. Depending on the campaign's structure, staffing, and electoral priorities, the position may involve working with one or more candidates for the New Jersey State Senate and/or General Assembly. Campaign structures and staffing levels will vary by district.

Successful applicants will develop and maintain an active, consistent, and engaging digital presence across campaign social media platforms. This includes creating and publishing original content daily, capturing and editing photos and videos, monitoring online conversations, responding to voter inquiries, and supporting the campaign's broader communications and organizing activities. The ideal candidate is creative, comfortable using social media and digital content tools, able to produce high-quality content on tight deadlines, and able to manage multiple accounts and projects with minimal supervision. This is a hands-on position requiring someone who can independently create content, not simply develop ideas or coordinate with outside vendors.

Previous professional campaign experience is not required. We encourage individuals with relevant experience in social media management, digital communications, content creation, or video production to apply.

• Work with campaign staff to ensure digital communications are accurate, timely, professional, and consistent with approved messaging.
