About The Role

Humans in Control is hiring a Digital Campaigns Manager. You will build and run the communications that reach our supporters and equip our organizers.

You will build the emails, the actions, and the materials that turn broad public concern into organized action, moving people from signing a pledge to taking a first real step, and from that step to becoming a trained volunteer leader. When AI news breaks, you will help us respond fast and get it right.

This is a hands-on production role with real ownership. You should like making and releasing things every week.

About Us

Humans in Control is a nonpartisan grassroots organization. We work to keep people, not a handful of AI companies, in charge of our future.

We bring together parents, workers, veterans, faith leaders, small business owners, and neighbors from across the political spectrum around one idea: powerful AI is being released while the companies building it write their own rules and answer only to themselves.

This is one of the few issues where most Americans already agree, no matter how they vote. The harms are already here: deepfakes of real teenagers, data centers going up in towns that don't want them, and AI sold to employers as a cheaper substitute for the people they hire.

And the harms don't stop here. The researchers building this technology have said it could lead to the end of the world. They admit they can't fully control what they are building. They are building it anyway.

We organize people to demand commonsense rules from the politicians who are not taking action.

What You'll Do

Activate our base

Write and send our email and SMS programs: action alerts, campaign updates, and newsletter
Build and run digital actions: petitions, click-to-call, RSVPs, and shareable asks
Load, schedule, test, and automate sends in our CRM and email platform; keep the list clean and segmented
Track opens, clicks, conversions, and drop-off – then report what worked and change what didn't

Produce materials for volunteers

Produce what our organizers and volunteers actually use: tabling handouts, one-pagers, handbooks, sign-up sheets, and event collateral
Lay out clean, on-brand materials inside our existing design system and templates
Keep the field stocked – anticipate what an organizer in New Hampshire needs before they ask

Web and campaign pages

Build and update pages on humansincontrol.org using our existing templates and tooling
Build landing pages for campaigns, petitions, and ads
Write and edit page copy, and run the quality pass before anything goes live
Support our paid digital campaigns with ad copy, landing pages, and reporting

Move fast when news breaks

Get our response out the door: build the page, write the email, prep the assets, and publish – often inside a day
Learn our policy positions, our evidence base, and the claims we won't make, well enough to draft inside them
Assist our Video & Content Manager with social media as needed
Grow into a reliable second set of eyes on accuracy – the person who catches an overstated claim before it goes out

Connect digital to organizing

Own the welcome-to-first-action journey for new supporters end to end
Coordinate with our Distributed Organizing Manager to drive digital recruitment for local events and chapters
Make sure every campaign email, petition, and action page has a clear next step that moves people deeper into the movement
Participate in a weekly comms-and-field planning session where organizing needs shape the production calendar

What We Are Looking For

We care more about demonstrated skill than years on a résumé.

Strong, fast, plain-language, and human writing: you can turn a complicated development into something a busy person understands and acts on – without sounding like a robot or a corporation
Hands-on experience running an email program: writing, building, sending, testing, and reading the results
Comfort inside – or an openness to learn – a CRM and email platform: loading lists, building automations, segmenting, and keeping data clean
Design fluency and judgment: you can produce clean, on-brand materials inside an existing design system, and you can tell when something looks off
Real fluency with AI tools, ideally including agentic coding tools like Claude Code or Codex
The discipline to be accurate under deadline – you know what has to be verified before it ships, and you never stretch a source past what it says
Good judgment communicating in a genuinely nonpartisan way with a politically mixed audience: conservatives, moderates, independents, Democrats, Republicans, parents, workers, veterans, faith communities, and rural and working-class people
A bias toward testing, learning, and releasing
Comfort in a small, early-stage team where you own your work end to end

Ideal Candidates Bring

Please apply even if you don't match every line. We're a team of generalists with growth mindsets, and we don't expect to find candidates with every one of these skills.

Experience in advocacy, political, campaign, or nonprofit communications
Experience with texting or SMS programs
Experience creating materials for politically mixed, conservative, moderate, faith-based, parent, veteran, rural, working-class, or non-expert audiences
Experience with digital ads – building audiences, writing copy, and reading the reports
Experience producing print and field collateral for organizers or volunteers
Experience building or editing web pages, whether in a CMS, a static site, or a codebase
Experience translating legislation, policy, or technical research for a general audience
Experience with Qomon, ActiveCampaign, or comparable tools
Experience in a small, fast-moving organization or campaign

You do not need to be an AI policy expert. You do need to care about the people getting hurt – today and in the future – by AI built without rules.

Why This Role Matters at HIC

Digital advocacy work is often built for one half of the country. This one isn't. The principle we organize around – that powerful technology shouldn't be released into the public without rules – is one most Americans already share, regardless of how they vote. That makes this job different from the same job somewhere else. You will write one email that has to land with a Republican small-business owner in Iowa and a Democratic parent in New Hampshire. Success here means that more people take political action on AI risks. It means learning and anticipating needs from the field team. And it means moving quickly to break down what AI news means for our mission, and communicating that plainly to our base. You are joining a small and nimble comms team, so there's a lot still to build. You will have ownership and room to shape how this work gets done.

Reporting Structure

This role reports to the Communications Director. The Communications Director leads communications strategy, messaging, editorial standards, and approvals. You will own weekly execution – writing, building, sending, producing, and reporting – inside those rails. You will work closely with our Video & Content Manager, who owns social and video, and with our field team.

Anticipated Start

Q3 2026. Ideally mid-September, with some flexibility into October. Applications reviewed on a rolling basis.

Location

Remote, U.S.-based position. Must be authorized to work in the United States. Some evening and weekend availability may be required for rapid-response moments, major campaign pushes, live events, or time-sensitive digital opportunities. Occasional travel will be required and will be reimbursed.

Compensation

Salary range: $80,000–$95,000 based on experience. Where you land depends on your experience running email and digital action programs at advocacy, political, or nonprofit organizations.
Benefits include: medical, dental, and vision via an Individual Coverage HRA; a 401(k) with an employer match of up to 4%; 15 days of paid time off (PTO) plus 12 paid holidays; 80 hours (10 days) of sick leave; bereavement leave; and up to $1,000 a year for professional development.
Candidates should be prepared to share writing samples, an email or campaign they built, and an example of materials they produced for someone else to use.

Hiring Process

Our process is a first conversation, a short exercise using real material from our work, and a final round with the team. We'll tell you where you stand at every step. We review applications as they come in and give priority to early applicants.

Equal Opportunity

Humans in Control is an equal opportunity employer. We strongly encourage applications from people of color, women, LGBTQ+ people, people with disabilities, veterans, and people from working-class backgrounds. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, veteran status, or any other protected characteristic.

Build the communications that turn public concern about AI into organized action.
