RNC Digital Media Director and Engineering Project Manager

The Republican National Committee is beefing up its tech staff, seeking applicants to become the digital marketing director and an engineering project manager. The sort of people the RNC are looking for are those who truly get the possibilities in digital media, and those who know how to get results out of large amounts of information. Help us and the national party by spreading the information around Twitter and Facebook.

President Barack Obama and the Democratic National Committee are going to back up dump trucks full of cash to staff and run high-level digital operations. The GOP needs to keep pace with and surpass that effort. Let’s get the party the best people possible.
