Social Media Coordinator

Read this before you apply: This is an unconventional role. FiNC is crowd-started, which means contributor roles are not immediately paid. The “How We’re Building: Crowd-Starting FiNC” section explains exactly what that means and who it’s for. Please read it in full before applying.

Role Type: Part-time contributor, roughly 15 to 20 hours per week

Location: Remote

Pay: Not immediately paid (crowd-starting phase: see “How We’re Building” below)

About FiNC

We’re upgrading how America chooses its leaders.

Right now, three middlemen decide which candidates you ever hear about: big money, party gatekeepers, and media manipulation. They control the money, the access, and the visibility every candidate needs to win. Good candidates are everywhere: teachers, veterans, small business owners, community leaders who genuinely want to represent people. The system is just built to keep them invisible.

FiNC is cutting out the middleman. Think of us as a matchmaker for civic life: we connect citizens to the candidates who actually want to represent them, the movements working on what they care about, and the people building the same world they want. No gatekeeper deciding who you get to choose from.

We don’t pick sides. FiNC is the referee, not a player. Not left, not right, just representation.

The DP Hub (hub.futureis.org) is live now: candidate profiles, a Civic Tags system that lets candidates define themselves beyond party labels, citizen priority surveys, and growing Candidate Discovery. Movements and communities are our biggest growth engine right now, because they bring the citizens candidates want to reach.

What makes this work isn’t just the technology. FiNC’s core focus is the human side: outreach, PR, social media, and building citizen buy-in. We’re not marketing a website. We’re campaigning for a better way to choose leaders. Every candidate with a profile and every movement that plugs in benefits from that ongoing work.

And the system is built so everyone lifts everyone. When a candidate shares their profile, citizens who click through discover other candidates. When a movement drives people to the DP Hub, those citizens find candidates aligned with their values. A different incentive structure than anywhere else in politics.

Our structure matters: FiNC is building something akin to a cooperative-style nonprofit where team members are partners and co-architects in a mission to rebuild how American democracy works.

If you’re ready to help build the civic infrastructure America never got, with citizens and not gatekeepers, step in.

IMPORTANT: How We’re Building: Crowd-Starting FiNC – Please read carefully

To stay independent and free of conflicts of interest, we are not accepting investors or financing that comes with strings attached. Instead, we’re Crowd-Starting FiNC: building it together, from the ground up.

In this early phase, contributor roles are not immediately paid. We ask team members for roughly 15 to 20 hours a week. Our goal is to bring contributors into paid, full-time roles once FiNC is financially able to support them.

That is our intention and the direction we’re working toward, and relies on the success of each team member doing their part to fulfill our specific goals.

This is a build-it-together model, not a job in the usual sense. It asks for belief in the mission and a willingness to help build before all the resources are in place. It’s not for everyone, and that’s okay. The people who thrive here want to help build something that doesn’t exist yet.

Culture and Employment

A New Kind of Organization for a New Kind of Democracy

• Neurodiversity and diversity-of-thought are strengths, not obstacles
• Servant leadership, dynamic team structures, and shared ownership
• Purpose over profits, value over hours, and respect for work-life balance
• We reward authenticity, passion, and commitment, not conformity
• We support individual weaknesses to enhance collective strengths
• Continuous role assessments, long-term growth opportunities, and real career sustainability

From your first 2-way interview, you will see (and feel) how radically different we are.

The role

Social media is our biggest team and our loudest voice. It’s where most people first find FiNC, and it moves fast. We’re looking for a Social Media Coordinator to be the person who keeps that whole engine running.

Think of this as the connective tissue of the team. You won’t be creating every post yourself. We have a strong pipeline for that: copywriters, graphic designers, and video editors build the content, then it comes to you. Your job is to make sure it all gets where it needs to go, on time, and looking great.

What you’ll do

• Schedule and post content across all our social platforms. Kari handles the deeper tech and systems side, so the two of you will work closely.
• Pull together monthly analytics for all our socials and our website, so the team can see what’s working and what isn’t.
• Keep the content pipeline moving. Check that everything’s ready, catch what’s missing, and reach out to the right person for changes or fixes when needed.
• Help coordinate the people on the team and keep collaboration smooth.

This is not a management role. You won’t be anyone’s boss. You’ll be the organized center that keeps a busy, creative team in sync. That said, this role sits close to the heart of what we do, and there’s real room to grow. As FiNC grows, the right person could step into a bigger role and become part of our leadership, helping shape where our whole social effort goes next.

Skills we’re hoping you bring

We’d love for you to check off the majority of this list. We don’t expect anyone to hit all of it:

• Some copywriting, enough to unstick a bottleneck or make a quick tweak
• Basic graphic design (Canva, Adobe Photoshop, or similar)
• Minor video editing, a plus
• A feel for how social algorithms work, and ideas for growing our campaigns and our overall social strategy
• Comfortable on camera. This is a MAJOR plus. Think short videos, and possibly even a role on our podcast.
• Good at pulling people together and keeping meetings collaborative

Who we’re looking for

Here’s the honest part: we care far more about who you are than what’s on your resume. We’re not counting years of experience. Some of our best people came in young, hungry, and new to the work.

What matters most to us:

• You’re fired up about the mission
• You’re organized, reliable, and easy to work with
• You pick things up fast and like figuring things out
• You bring good energy to a team

If that sounds like you, even if you don’t check every box, we want to hear from you.
