Senior Web Content Manager

Reporting to the Creative Director, the Senior Web Manager will be responsible for Indivisible’s web content and maintaining the relationship with our web development vendors.

This role will make sure Indivisible activists can find what they need on our website to fight for progressive change, including both creating and maintaining page content as well as overseeing web development.

On the web development side, responsibilities will include working to create clear goals for projects, front end development to maintain our canvassing tool, project managing the internal side of web projects (content development, approvals, etc.), and being the main point of contact for web vendors.

We are hiring for this position immediately. This position is full-time, with a salary range starting at $76,900 per year, commensurate with experience. To uphold organizational parity and pay equity, we use a non-negotiable salary system that takes into consideration the entire breadth of a candidate’s experience, employment, and education to arrive at their final starting base salary.
