  • A portfolio that shows range across persuasion content, broadcast-quality finish, and short-form vertical
  • Working knowledge of FCC political advertising requirements and broadcast delivery specifications
  • Comfort working under campaign-cycle pressure, including evenings and weekends in the final 60 days before major elections
  • Discretion and judgment when handling sensitive opposition research, internal polling, and pre-release content
  • Alignment with the center-right principles that define our work and our clients
  • Strong communication and the ability to take feedback fast and execute without ego

Bonus

  • Experience cutting on Avid Media Composer
  • Direct campaign experience on House, Senate, gubernatorial, or presidential races
  • Familiarity with broadcast traffic systems and political file requirements
