Director of Communication Movement Labs is a movement incubator and the leading peer-to-peer text political consultancy supporting progressives and grassroots activists nationwide. We are dedicated to building durable electoral power by expanding voter participation, shifting partisanship of current voters, and turning non-voters into voters. Through scalable, data-driven strategies and innovative tactics—from grassroots organizing to digital engagement—we target key districts and states to secure federal power. We invest in pioneering new methods and piloting programs that will ultimately help us win the House in 2026 and the presidency in 2028. Beyond the major elections, we focus on securing critical rule-of-law positions to protect democracy, build a strong candidate bench, and safeguard the integrity of future elections. Movement Labs is a fast-paced environment, where we are laser-focused on testing and implementing strategies for resisting the worst of the Trump agenda. We work hard, and the environment evolves rapidly. We are adaptable, nimble, and shift quickly as needed to meet the moment. We are looking for candidates that thrive in this type of environment. As Director of Communications, you will lead a small but mighty team of communications professionals to shape, share, and sharpen Movement Labs' voice in the progressive space. You'll elevate our storytelling, strengthen our brand, and ensure our work is seen, understood, and valued by the audiences that matter most – from donors to movement partners to potential new staff members. If you can move between strategy and execution without missing a beat, know how to balance a consistent brand with fresh and responsive messaging, and thrive in a fast-paced, high-stakes political environment, this role will give you the opportunity to drive impact at scale. We're looking for an excellent writer, a thoughtful leader, and someone energized by landing the right message in the right place at the right time.
Responsibilities:
  • Lead Movement Labs' overall communications strategy, refining and sharing our message with priority audiences: current and prospective partners, clients, and donors
  • Oversee the overhaul and ongoing stewardship of Movement Labs' website, brand identity, and visual presence

  • Develop and maintain an organizational communications guide; train staff to ensure a consistent voice across all channels
  • Build and maintain relationships across the ecosystem to share our model, ensure consistent messaging, and expand our reach
Qualifications:
  • Passion for Movement Labs' mission and experience leading communications in a fast-paced, high-stakes environment where framing and precision are critical
  • Exceptional writing skills with a track record of producing high-quality written and visual materials
  • Experience developing and executing PR strategies, connecting newsworthy moments to the right prospects and landing impactful media coverage
  • Proven ability to manage, mentor, and grow a team
  • Comfort leading multiple projects with competing deadlines, delegating effectively while maintaining accountability
  • Proven ability to translate big-picture vision into tactical execution in a fast-paced environment
  • Excited by the opportunity to learn by doing; willing to dive into unfamiliar territory, experiment, and take action
  • Relentless drive to defeat the far right and elect Democrats up and down the ballot
Benefits: Annual salary of $94,700-$113,400 as part of a transparent salary structure with clear levels of advancement, and geographic COLA increases depending on location.
