  • Top-notch project management skills - excellent organization, communication, flexibility and attention to detail
  • Quick editing skills with an eye for type and design fundamentals
  • Strong sensibility for compelling pacing, music, graphics, type, and storytelling
  • Professional demeanor: Ability to work well with people at all levels and to navigate relationships with other creatives
  • Superior project and time management capabilities
  • Flexibility and resilience: Ability to meet deadlines and work around obstacles by creatively solving problems and communicating clearly with the team
  • Interest or experience in Democratic politics is preferred

Relevant details:
