We envision an America that represents and serves the public, where institutions work for all Americans, where workers, families, and communities can thrive, and where people are secure from existential threats.
Primary Function: New America is seeking a visionary, creative, and highly organized digital leader to serve as Digital Director within its Central Communications team. The Digital Director will shape and lead New America's digital communications strategy, including its website and digital publishing platforms, visual brand, data visualization, analytics, and responsible adoption of emerging technologies.

The Digital Director will define what comes next and establish a clear roadmap for delivering it.
