Social Media/Communications Internship Opportunity

You: Hard working, highly motivated, and fascinated by social media. You don’t mind campaign hours, and are seeking the opportunity to work with leaders in the lefty community, using tools that help innovate on-the-ground organizing and messaging. You are a great writer, a creative thinker, and have a passion for lefty political issues and causes. You want to work for a place that has clients you can be excited about and are proud to work for. You are a self-starter and can work independently and as part of a team. Technical skills in web production, programming and data tool sets are great, but are not strictly required. You don’t feel weird wearing jeans to work.

The gig: This internship is unpaid in exchange for academic credit. You will work directly with RM staff to assist clients in shaping, maintaining and evolving their political presence in a niche technology market. Interns will get direct, hands-on experience with the social media tools that are vital in the campaigns of today and tomorrow and will learn how to effectively organize online in a fast paced political environment. Hours are flexible, as interns can commit to 20-40 hours per week. Typical projects include: Developing social media & social networking plans; Maintaining and developing of mobile messaging platforms; Assisting in preparation of client case studies; and Measuring the effectiveness of our clients’ social media strategies. We tend to hire exceptional interns to join our team as paid staff.
