A mission worth building for, on a model you should understand before you apply. FiNC is changing how politics works in America, and we are Crowd-Starting it. Contributor roles are not paid yet; compensation is deferred. Full details in the Crowd-Starting section below. 

About FiNC

We’re assembling a coalition to change how politics works. Forever.

Everything is an angle now. Every call is a scam, every app is running a play on you, and when something actually goes wrong there’s nobody to call. Everyone you can reach has no power. Everyone with power is unreachable.

FiNC (The Future is Now Coalition) is citizens, candidates, and communities who all landed on the same thing: the system isn’t broken, it’s rigged, and it’s working exactly as it was built to work.

3 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. So they decide who wins before anyone votes, and good people run for office and stay invisible.

Once you know it’s there, you see it everywhere. Each move looks like a one-off: a sudden outrage, a single bad vote, a new crisis to react to. But they’re the same 5 rigged patterns, repeating.

Spotting them is what the Digital Politics Lens is for. Most of what we want, we want together: safer neighborhoods, schools that work, a shot at getting ahead, a government that listens. Left and right is the argument you were handed. The deeper question that matters is which way your leader is facing: up toward the people who fund them, or down toward the people who elected them. 

Here’s why this can work when nothing else has. Every movement, third party, and reform group is pushing against the same status quo, and all of them are pushing alone. They were all trying to win. We’re assembling the thing they all stand under. Citizens say what they care about, candidates say who they are, and the 2 sides connect with nobody in between.

The coalition is the product. The DP Hub at hub.futureis.org is a tool that supports it, not the thing we’re selling. Both are early: the DP Hub is live and close to empty, and the coalition is small. That’s not the weak part of the pitch. Growing it is the job.

Our work is the human side: outreach, PR, social, and citizen buy-in. Not tech: that mostly exists already, spread across other civic groups. What’s missing is the coalition. We’re not marketing a website. We’re campaigning for a better way to choose leaders.

We’re also built closer to a cooperative than a traditional nonprofit. Team members here are partners and co-architects, not employees.

We can’t change the rules yet, so we’re changing the game.

Join our coalition. Change how politics works. Forever.

IMPORTANT: This involves DELAYED COMPENSATION – Please read carefully

To maintain our independence and avoid conflicts of interest, we are not accepting investors or financing that comes with strings attached. Instead, we are Crowd-Starting FiNC: building it together from the ground up.

We ask team members to contribute 15 to 20 hours per week during this phase, with compensation deferred until we are operational. That includes the Founder, who has not drawn a salary and will not until the team does.

This model only works if you see it as a short-term investment for a long-term return. Contributors who build this with us earn an ownership stake in FiNC.

We are an LLC today because we needed a legal home to start from. We are building toward something akin to a nonprofit cooperative, where the people who build the organization own it, and we operate not for profit in the meantime.

This model filters for people who believe in the mission deeply enough to build alongside us. It is not for everyone, and that is okay.

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.

Job Description

FiNC is looking for a Marketing Lead to keep our marketing team moving. This is a facilitation role first and a project management role second. You would not make the content. You would own whether it ships.

The problem you would solve

We are not short on ideas or on talent. Our marketing team is the strongest part of FiNC. What we are short on is the person in the room while those ideas are being discussed who makes sure nobody leaves without knowing what they own and when it is due.

Without that person, a good idea gets discussed twice and built zero times. That is our real bottleneck, and it is the whole reason this seat exists.

Why this cannot be the Founder

Our Founder will be in those rooms, but as a participant. The conversation changes when he is the one running it: people bring him decisions instead of working them out with each other, and the collaboration we actually want stops happening.

So facilitation has to come from someone else. We had that person once, and it was the strongest this organization has ever run. We are rebuilding that seat.

He stays quality control on the work itself, and strategy stays collaborative and org-wide. What he cannot carry is the day-to-day execution of everyone’s assignments.

What you would actually do

Facilitate the collaboration

• Run the marketing meetings. The team brings the ideas. You make sure the conversation lands on specifics: who, what, and by when
• Talk out the details in the room rather than leaving them to be sorted over messages later
• Get writers, designers, video, and social talking to each other instead of routing everything through the Founder

Keep FiNC-Table current

• FiNC-Table is our custom project management system, built on Airtable. Keeping it accurate is a core part of the job, not admin overhead
• Every assignment has an owner, a date, and a current status. No orphaned tasks, no stale boards
• Good digital operations hygiene: if it happened, it is recorded, and anyone can see where things stand without asking

Move the pipeline

• Hold the cadence so each part of marketing delivers something every cycle
• Keep work flowing between the people who make it, so a draft never sits waiting on 1 person who did not know it was waiting
• Unblock people before they have to ask, and escalate what you cannot unblock
• Prepare the weekly check-in with the Founder so it takes minutes instead of hours

Why marketing specifically

Marketing already has a working cadence, real output, and people who are good at their jobs. You would not be fixing it. You would be keeping it from slipping, and making it faster.

That matters more than it sounds. Marketing stays a step ahead of the rest of the organization on purpose, because our presentation is what makes outreach possible. Nobody partners with an organization that looks unfinished. When marketing slows down, everything downstream of it gets harder.

The team

• Socials. A strong Social Lead who owns social creative: what gets made, how it looks, how it sounds. That stays hers. You own everything around it
• Writers. Long-form, evergreen explainer content, and blogs
• Design and video, working alongside the writers

What this role does not do

This matters as much as the list above. If any of these sound like the part you actually want, this is the wrong seat.

• Quality control on the work. Our Founder owns that
• Setting strategy. Strategy here is collaborative and org-wide. It is not decided in this seat
• Making the work. The team makes it. You make sure it moves
• Being the expert in the room. You would lead people who know their craft better than you do. That is the design, not a compromise

Who we’re looking for

• You run a genuinely good meeting. This is the single most important skill in the role. People leave knowing what they own, by when, without a follow-up email to figure it out
• You are comfortable asking the obvious question out loud. Who is doing this? By when? What is blocking it? Most people feel awkward asking. You cannot
• You are comfortable leading people who know more than you do about their own craft, and you do not need to prove otherwise
• Organized where other people can see it. If a commitment lives only in your head, it does not exist
• Fluent in project management tools. Ours is custom-built, so we care that you think in owners, dates, and status rather than that you know a specific platform
• You generate, you do not wait. We have learned that 1 person with real initiative outproduces a team of people waiting to be told
• Comfortable with direct feedback in both directions. Our Founder is autistic and communicates directly: detailed, specific, and without a lot of padding. FiNC is built largely by neurodiverse people, so this is just how the place runs. If you would rather hear what someone actually thinks than decode it later, you will like it here
• Politically agnostic by instinct. We host every position and take none, and that has to be real in how you work, not a script you follow

About the title

We called this Lead rather than Director on purpose. The seat above it is open, and we would rather grow someone into it than hire someone who already holds the title and treats this as a step down. If you have been the person who actually makes a team run without the title to match, this is that seat.
