ABOUT US

National Ground Game is building a new generation of Democratic political infrastructure focused on reaching young voters, building a national network of college chapters, developing emerging political talent, and creating modern political media and organizing programs.

We are looking for a highly organized, politically engaged, and motivated intern to work directly with our executive team and support projects across college organizing, political operations, creator development, social media, public relations, and partnerships.

This is a hands-on role with real responsibility. You will help execute the work, not simply observe it.

ABOUT THE ROLE  

The Executive Team & Political Operations Intern will provide direct support to our executive team while helping move key projects forward across the organization.

College chapter coordination is a major part of this role. You will communicate with student organizers and chapter leaders, help launch new chapters, track chapter activity, and make sure our growing network has the support and follow-through it needs.

You will also assist with executive team projects, creator scouting and vetting, social media research, PR initiatives, and sponsor outreach.

THE CANDIDATE WE WANT

We're looking for someone who is smart, curious, organized, and plugged in.

You understand politics and the culture surrounding it. You know how social media works and pay attention to emerging creators and trends. You're equally comfortable communicating with a college chapter leader, researching a potential sponsor, finding an emerging creator, or helping the executive team solve a problem.

You don't need a checklist for every task.

You notice what needs to be done, figure out how to do it, and get it done.
