Jobs

Colorado Senator John Hickenlooper seeks a Press/Digital Specialist to support our very active communications team. This position will be based in Washington DC.

Responsibilities include drafting both traditional press materials (press releases, statements, talking points, etc.) along with digital materials (video scripts, social media copy, etc.); creating graphics; taking photos; filming/editing videos; maintaining media lists; and overseeing daily press clips.

Ideal candidates are hard-working, scrappy, and detail-oriented with an ability to juggle multiple projects at once in a fast-paced environment with a sense of humor and a positive attitude. We value creativity, outside-the-box thinking, and excellent writing skills.

As a team, we take the job seriously but not ourselves and are looking for similarly humble-minded teammates who are hungry to roll up their sleeves and get to work on issues that impact Coloradans. Our office prioritizes building a diverse team. We are an equal opportunity employer and do not discriminate on the basis of race, sex, color, age, religion, national origin, sexual orientation, gender identity, or disability.

Interested candidates should send resume and work samples to: Employment@hickenlooper.senate.gov.

Work samples should include — but don’t need to be limited to — at least one graphic example, one or multiple social media posts, and one example that demonstrates your longer-form writing ability (i.e. press release, statement, talking points, video script, op-ed, speech, etc.). This is a creative position and we welcome creative work samples. Please send graphic examples as either a jpeg, png, or PDF, or feel free to send links if your examples live online.

Do not send a cover letter, instead please describe in 200 words or less why you would be an ideal candidate for this position. Please do not include any application materials in the body of your email. Only attachments will be viewable.
