About The Role

: Associate Director, Content Production is equal parts creative thinker and skilled maker — someone who doesn't wait for direction, but spots a story, knows exactly how to tell it, and gets to work. This is a senior role on Code for America’s integrated Marketing & Communications team who will own the creation of high-quality, audience-first content across video, audio, and written formats, bringing the organization’s mission to life for the people we serve, the communities we work in, and the broader public.

Write and edit compelling, audience-first copy that adapts in tone and depth across channels without losing the thread of our brand voice. Shoot, edit, and deliver video content end-to-end, including graphics, captions, and platform-ready formatting. Produce and edit audio content, including interviews, short-form storytelling, and episodic formats.

Manage and direct vendors as needed. Hold a high creative bar across everything you make, and model that standard for others on the team.

Identify timely hooks and opportunities to extend, repurpose, or reimagine existing content in ways that earn new attention. Lead content calendar planning with ideas that are timely, mission-connected, and genuinely interesting to the people we want to reach.

Use performance data to continuously sharpen content and distribution decisions, , and advocate for strategic improvements based on what you learn.
