A digital media specialist with experience in social justice communications.
The Digital Media Manager will be part of a three-person comms team. This person is focused on organizing all of our digital media content (video, audio, photography, illustrations, some text and ads) internally and then publishing that content for our key audiences on the appropriate platforms. This role is for someone who is excited and skilled at social listening and expanding our audiences – New Yorkers who want to support many different movements for social justice.
North Star Fund is a social justice fund that supports grassroots organizing led by communities of color building power in New York City and the Hudson Valley. We also organize people across race and class to give in support of social justice movements. We also offer year-round programming to help organizers build and sustain their work.
This position is full-time, exempt. The Digital Media Manager will report to the communications director and will regularly partner with other staff.
The Digital Media Manager will drive the creative execution of North Star Fund digital content for our website and social channels in coordination with the rest of the communications team and other North Star Fund staff. This includes:
Must be able to work at a computer screen for several hours a day. Must be able to meet with a wide range of people, including grantee organizations and North Star Fund supporters, in person and/or via teleconferencing. This position requires curating visual content from grantees including print materials and photography collections. Occasional evening and weekend events as needed. Light lifting for in-person events may be required, but accommodations will be made as necessary for the safety and well-being of all employees.
The salary for this position is $85,881 in accordance with North Star Fund’s compensation structure. North Star Fund offers generous benefits that include 100% premium paid for medical, dental, and vision insurance; a 403(b) retirement plan with an employer contribution, a work-from-home stipend, flex-time, vacation and holidays. A full list of benefits is available for review by finalists for the position.
North Star Fund uses a 32-hour work week for full-time employees, with normal work days running Monday through Thursday. Evening and weekend work is sometimes required. We currently use a hybrid work model: we work from home and have an office in midtown Manhattan. We have not yet set a date for a return to our physical office for in-person full-time work.
All staff are required to periodically attend in-person meetings and events in New York City and the Hudson Valley. Applicants must live in the Hudson Valley or New York City or be within a one-hour commute to these areas.
