What are the responsibilities and job description for the Digital Rapid Response Specialist position at Influenceable?
WHAT YOU’LL DO
- Monitor the full landscape — news, broadcast, podcasts, social, and long-form — on the issues we define, and surface the content and moments worth acting on before they peak.
- Catch and cut: clip, snip, and pull video, audio, and print media and package it into ready-to-post formats for multiple platforms and distribution partners.
- Turn a raw moment into a finished asset fast — a news hit, a floor speech, a viral thread, a damaging article — reformatted for X, IG, and our partner network on tight timelines.
- Post and publish across owned accounts when the moment calls for it, with a feel for voice, timing, and what travels.
- Drive rapid response: when a false or hostile narrative emerges, get an answer out quickly, accurately, and with sourced material.
- Coordinate distribution — hand off packaged content to partner accounts and influencers and make sure it lands where it should, when it should.
- Track what works: monitor performance and feed it back into sharper targeting and faster turnarounds.
WHAT YOU BRING
- High agency, non-negotiable. You see the opening and move without waiting to be told. You own outcomes, not tasks.
- Political fluency. Real experience in conservative politics and communications — campaigns, party committees, conservative media, advocacy orgs, or a rapid-response shop. You know the players, the outlets, and how the conversation moves on the right.
- Modern comms instincts. You understand how narratives are built and broken online today, and what makes content travel on X and beyond.
- Hands-on production. You can clip and package media yourself — comfortable with editing and content tools, fast and clean under deadline.
- Speed under pressure. You do your best work when the clock is running and the moment is live.
- Judgment. You know what’s worth chasing, what’s a trap, and what crosses a line — and you operate cleanly.
BONUS POINTS
- Direct experience in a campaign war room or rapid-response operation.
- An existing network of distribution partners, influencers, or allied accounts.
- Familiarity with monitoring and sentiment tools (e.g., Meltwater, Grabien) and social analytics.
