Communications
Director of Communications
VolunteerRemote, with occasional travel for major events
Texas won't win its independence quietly. Someone has to make the case loud enough, and clear enough, that the whole state hears it. That's this seat.
The Director of Communications owns TNM's public voice. You run the Texian Brief, the press relationships, the social channels, and the brand, and you keep every one of them saying the same clear thing: Texas can and should govern itself. When a reporter calls or a story breaks, you're the steady hand who answers fast and on message. Get this right and the movement is impossible to ignore.
What you'd own
- The Texian Brief and the rest of the publishing calendar. It ships on schedule, every time.
- Media relationships and rapid response. When the press calls, we answer fast and on message.
- The Texian Partisan editorial operation.
- One brand and one message across every channel: social, email, web, print, and the stage.
- Campaign-mode communications when we activate for a fight.
- The freelancers and contractors who produce the work.
What we're looking for
- You can write. Clean, fast, in TNM's voice, under a deadline.
- You've run communications, PR, or a newsroom, and you can show the work.
- You stay calm when the news cycle doesn't. A breaking story is a Tuesday, not a crisis.
- You know Texas politics well enough to read a moment and answer it.
- You can direct freelancers and hold a calendar without being chased.
The commitment
- 15 to 20 hours in a normal week.
- More when a story breaks or a campaign is live.
- Close coordination with the other directors and the people producing content.
