About the American Immigration Council

The American Immigration Council (the Council) works to strengthen America by shaping how America thinks about and acts towards immigrants and immigration, and by working toward a more fair and just immigration system that opens its doors to those in need of protection and unleashes the energy and skills that immigrants bring.

The Council brings together individuals adept at solving problems and employs four coordinated approaches to advance change—litigation, research, legislative and administrative advocacy, and communications.

In this role, you will develop and publish social-first multimedia content that drives reach, engagement, and audience growth—turning complex immigration policy, litigation, and research into content that informs, moves, and activates audiences across our channels.

You will own content across both B2C platforms (Instagram, Bluesky, YouTube, Facebook) and B2B channels (LinkedIn), shaping what we say, how we say it, and why it matters. This is a high-impact role for a storyteller who combines creative instincts with analytical rigor and a genuine passion for mission-driven work.
