Hey! We Got One Right!

Tuesday update: no new post today; see you again Wednesday.

As predicted Thursday on these very pages, Sergio Garcia is your 2017 Masters champ.  We'll readily admit that our call was based on rooting interest rather than analytics; we're just happy to see Sergio break through.  In other sports-rooting news, we loved seeing Irish War Cry bounce back on Saturday and we're getting gray hairs on account of the Nats bullpen.

On to the main event: here is your start-the-week set of jobs, the rest is up to you.  And, don't forget previously noted opportunities closing this week.

    The Maryland Democratic Party seeks an experienced Digital Communications Manager to be part of the Party’s energetic, collaborative communications team. The person in this role is responsible for overseeing the Party's digital presence — on social media and on the web — to help communicate the Democratic vision and push back against the Republican agenda in Maryland and the country. The Digital Communications Manager reports to the Senior Communications Advisor, and works closely with the Finance team, Executive Director and the Chair to execute overall strategy.

    --Draft the Chair’s weekly email newsletter that keeps subscribers apprised of news updates, upcoming events and engagements.
    --Hold trainings for those with less experience in social media realm—i.e., a strong ability and desire to teach others, including party activists, candidates and elected officials, on how these outreach tools can be used. Work with Finance team to identify fundraising and online engagement opportunities
    --Stay up-to-date with the latest developments in digital media technology and online activism. Other tasks as assigned.

    --Experience with website production, including major back-end content management systems (CMS) and CSS/html. Superior project management skills—multitasking is essential—with a demonstrated-outcomes orientation and the ability to work in a fast-paced, dynamic environment.
    --Flexibility to accommodate irregular and sometimes long work hours. Occasional evenings/weekends, and to conduct in-state and out-of-state travel
    --An excellent sense of humor.
