● Work well independently, and as part of a geographically-dispersed team.
● Graphic and video content creation and editing experience is a plus.
● Ability to maintain organizational tone and brand consistency for different audiences. (Ability to communicate in other languages is a plus but not required.)

● Experience with WordPress, Canva or Adobe Suite products, CRM platforms like EveryAction or ActBlue, is a plus.
● Desire to grow and strengthen your skill set to support the evolving needs of the organization.
