Digital Strategist

Americans for Financial Reform Education Fund (AFREF), Washington, District of Columbia, us, 20022


Digital Strategist

AFREF has been called “the leading voice for Wall Street accountability” in Washington.

Join us in the fight to hold Wall Street accountable, and make finance work for us, not against us. Americans for Financial Reform Education Fund (AFREF) is seeking a Digital Strategist to work on strengthening consumer protections and the effective regulation of consumer financial products; to fight high-cost lending abuses; to work towards reversing the damage caused by systemic racism in the financial marketplace; and to advance an ambitious agenda to protect economically vulnerable consumers and provide all families with access to financial products and services that meet their needs and allow them to maintain economic stability and build wealth.

AFREF played a leading role in winning passage of the Dodd Frank financial reform law and the creation of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, and we are driving the fight for broader transformations of the financial system to advance economic, racial, and social justice. AFREF’s staff develops plans and strategies in collaboration with a coalition of more than 200 consumer, civil rights, labor, community-based, and other organizations, along with academics and policy experts.

The Digital Strategist

will work with AFREF staff to engage and grow our base of individuals interested in securing a safer and fairer economy. The Digital Strategist will grow our digital lists, engage and educate our base about issues we are tracking, expand our presence across major social media platforms, create visually appealing content, coordinate with like-minded coalition members influencing relevant policy and political stakeholders, and utilize digital organizing strategies and creative writing skills to tell our stories.
