    Mission Control - Junior & Senior Writers

    “Are you an excellent writer with keen political instincts who wants to help elect more Democrats and pass progressive policies nationwide? If so, we want to meet you.

    Mission Control is the premier direct mail firm in Democratic and progressive politics. Our clients include senators, governors, members of Congress, mayors, and local officials, as well as labor unions, pro-choice organizations, and environmental groups.

    We’re seeking Junior and Senior Writers to join our growing team. Senior writers will be responsible for most of the copywriting that goes into our direct mail, and for managing junior writers. Junior and senior writers work with the campaign team and graphic designers to shepherd individual mail pieces and entire mail plans from concept to finished product.

    The ideal applicants:
    • Write well, quickly, and correctly
    • Are sticklers for correct grammar and have an eye for proofreading
    • Think visually and creatively—can you marry a clever headline to a compelling image?
    • Are passionate about electing Democrats and advancing progressive goals
    • Work well with others and lack ego
    • Can juggle multiple simultaneous projects with competing deadlines
    • Have some familiarity with direct mail, political messaging, and both persuasion and GOTV tactics
    • For senior writer applicants: possess 2 or more cycles of campaign experience

    Because our work is all about Election Day, our workload ramps up significantly in the run up to November. As we get closer to Election Day, the hours get longer and the pace accelerates. This is NOT a 9 to 5 job -- there will be lots of long days and working weekends in the fall of 2022, though this is balanced out by relatively slow periods outside of the “busy season.” Anyone familiar with the campaign lifestyle should know what we mean.

    Salary range is $50,000-$90,000 depending on experience, plus a generous election day bonus and a competitive benefits package including insurance (health, dental, life, disability) and paid vacation.

    If you want to join a great team and (hopefully) be a part of the next Democratic wave, we'd love to hear from you. Please send your resume, a writing sample, and a brief cover letter in a single PDF to info@missioncontrolinc.net.

    Mission Control prohibits discrimination of employment based on gender, disability, race, age, national origin, color, creed, sexual orientation, sex, gender identity and expression, religion, economic status, ethnic identity, veteran’s status, or any other basis prohibited by applicable law. The above statements are intended to describe the general nature and level of the work being performed by the person holding this position. This is not an exhaustive list of all duties and responsibilities. Mission Control reserves the right to amend and change responsibilities to meet organizational needs as necessary.”
