Here are the roles we are currently looking to fill:
Digital Strategist, Paid Media
Location: New York, NY
Stand Up America is a political advocacy organization focused on digital mobilization to resist Trump’s corrupt agenda, advance progressive values, and strengthen our democracy. Founded after the 2016 election, our community has quickly grown to over two million progressives, across all 50 states, who are taking action and making their voices heard daily.
Our social and ads team reaches millions of Americans every week. In 2018, our social posts had over 300 million views and 40 million engagements. Our Facebook page has one of the highest engagement rates of any progressive organization.
