Organization Description:
VoterPunch is an educational service, the goal of which is to enhance participation in the increasingly vital arena of internet activism by informing and inspiring Americans to fulfill their responsibilities as citizens. Designed as a nonpartisan voting record service, VoterPunch makes it easy for individuals to both learn about what is happening on Capitol Hill and to interact with their elected officials, whether to praise, chide, or demand support before a vote happens on the floor of Congress.
Presently, VoterPunch can be seen in action powering the informative website www.ProgressivePunch.org which serves as a demonstration site for VoterPunch. ProgressivePunch.org displays highly detailed, up to the moment, expert analysis of all important votes that are taken in Congress. ProgressivePunch.org uses a ranking system so that people can see how progressively their representative scores within the spectrum of overall voting records, in the 14 master categories and 154 subcategories created by VoterPunch. Additionally, the site features ultra-easily accessible info from VoterPunch displaying how members of Congress voted on a vote by vote basis. Detailed vote descriptions are original content, written for VoterPunch by Congressional scholars. We are a 501(C)(3) non-profit organization.
Qualifications of an Ideal Candidate:
An ideal candidate for this position would, first and foremost, be meticulous in their work and talented at presenting their ideas. This individual should also be able to take initiative in doing the work on his/her own and yet also follow our directions precisely.
We need someone who would be able to work from home (Internet access is a must) and who would check in regularly with us. The basic process will look something like this: 1) Once we decide on a designer, we will have them come into the office for an initial briefing. In that meeting the designer will receive materials and instructions. 2) Each time the designer develops a graphic design concept, they’ll send it in to us, and we’ll provide feedback and editing. 3) The designer will then make the suggested changes and resubmit the proposed idea until approved. 4) The designer would then prepare a mockup and upon acceptance, 5) Prepare the final product. We will regularly monitor your progress and provide guidance and support.
Additionally, an ideal candidate will have 2 to 3 years of relevant work experience in graphic design for the web. At least one year applying these skills to the design and development of web-based systems. Experience in gaining active end-user involvement in the specification, design, and implementation phases through interviews and site visits also desired.
This project is an excellent opportunity to learn more about the world of politics, to hone professional skills and to get involved with a progressive, internet based, political non-profit.
We have an initial 4-8 hour project that would be a good trial for both parties.
Please send a letter of interest, resume, and links to websites that you’ve designed to: jobs@voterpunch.org
