Arlington, VA

You: An aspiring marketer passionate about technology, software, and marketing communications. You are determined to master these tools to promote freedom and dismantle policies that trample individual liberty. You will be a crucial component of the execution of PLF’s communications strategy, learning from and supporting managers and directors across the organization.

Them: Bureaucrats, city councils, mayors, governors, and federal agencies stripping Americans of their rights every day. There’s a lot of government overreach out there, and it’s backed by seemingly endless resources. But fortunately, like all lumbering giants, abusive government is most vulnerable when countered by individuals who act strategically and nimbly, take calculated risks, have each other’s backs, and are confident in, and passionate for, the cause—the very sort of swashbucklers we employ in spades here at PLF.

Us: We fight back. Pacific Legal Foundation is the nation’s first and most successful public interest law firm dedicated to vindicating individual liberty. PLF has an unmatched record in the United States Supreme Court, with 14 victories out of 16 cases litigated at the Court. We also have more than a hundred active cases across the nation.

We are a next-generation public interest law firm. What does “next-generation” mean for a legal nonprofit? It means we aren’t interested in doing the same thing as everyone else. We aspire to be the best player in a constantly changing game.

About the Digital Coordinator Opening:

You will work with every part of the communications team to make marketing communications a reality. You will have the opportunity to become an expert in all critical aspects of digital marketing: lead generation, search engine optimization (SEO), marketing automation, digital advertising, and the infrastructure and measurement to make it all happen.

Getting down to brass tacks, your specific job duties likely will include:

• Ensure that PLF’s digital tools and capabilities are supporting teams across the organization
• Perform daily execution of digital tasks across a variety of channels, including website content editing, email marketing, paid advertising, social media, events, and lead generation
• Measure the effectiveness of campaign and channel performance, providing stakeholders with detailed reporting and analysis of performance
• Research and apply the best messaging and language for SEO
• Give strategic input for, and monitor results of, paid advertising

The Digital Coordinator position is a full-time role based in PLF’s Arlington, VA office. This is an entry-level role with significant growth potential, both within PLF’s communications team and across the organization as a whole.

This role is ideal for someone with:

• 0-2 years of professional work experience and/or relevant internships
• A deep fascination with technology and enthusiasm to master the intricacies of various software platforms
• A firm understanding of and support for PLF’s mission and vision for individual liberty
• A knack for working with and interpreting data to inform decision making
• A solution-oriented mindset – ready to suggest improvements, and enhancements then implement and test them, carrying projects through to completion
• An ability to organize projects and manage time in a systematic way to establish priorities and meet deadlines
• A desire to work flexibly, learn constantly, and serve enthusiastically on a team
• Openness to explore other areas within the communications department to grow in the field and as a PLF employee
• Experience in relevant systems like social media, CMS, CRMs, Adobe Creative Suite, and Google Analytics is a plus—but we intend to teach you
