What are the responsibilities and job description for the Digital Coordinator position at Texas Civil Rights Project?
The Texas Civil Rights Project (TCRP) is a community lawyering organization, boldly serving the movement for equality and justice in and out of the courts, and seeking to advance a vision of a Texas in which all communities can thrive dignity and justice, and without fear. We know that to best serve the social justice movement in Texas, we must change hearts and minds along with formal changes to law and policy, and TCRP’s digital footprint is a major part of that effort.
To help sustain our engagement and grow our impact online, TCRP is seeking a Digital Coordinator. The Digital Coordinator will be responsible for executing TCRP’s digital strategy in order to advance our campaigns and projects across our three legal programs - Racial & Economic Justice (REJ), Criminal Injustice (CI), and Voting Rights (VR). This position will directly report to the Associate Director of Communications.
About the Role:
TCRP understands the importance of being Online. Over the past few years, TCRP has developed a significant digital audience that we are increasingly able to mobilize to take action on our goals - through petitions, event attendance, grassroots contributions, earned media, and more. The Digital Coordinator will be responsible for ensuring that we are engaging and growing this audience through our various digital channels while also keeping a consistent voice and tone that is aligned with our messaging and values.

- Create concise, eye-catching, and innovative digital content for our social media platforms, emails, and blog, TCRP Mag, leaning into graphics, video, and other creative opportunities to elevate our messaging.
- Generate opportunities to identify and engage supporters for our campaigns and drive measurable online actions through petitions, tweetstorms, letter-writing campaigns, etc.
- Collaborate with staff to develop content that drives our campaigns forward and distills complex legal and policy into accessible formats for varying audiences: from migrants at the border to our regular financial supporters.

You understand what makes for compelling content that moves people to action. Experience with social media management systems (i.e. Sprout Social) and SEO is a plus.
- Excellent strategic thinker. Able to set goals and execute strategies and tactics to achieve them, including incorporating metrics and data analytics. You can adjust strategies and approaches when your first (or eighth) attempt isn't getting you the results you need.
- Sharp writing skills. The role will require you to draft content for all of our digital channels, ranging from Instagram captions to 500-word blog posts, distilling complex ideas into digestible content for digital audiences.
- Experience with graphics and video editing. Nothing fancy here - we won’t expect you to be creating tv-quality ads or detailed infographics - but you should be able to create graphics in Canva and create videos for use on our social platforms.
