About The Position

Middle Seat is a full-service digital consulting firm working with campaigns, nonprofits, advocacy organizations, and causes on the front lines of reproductive justice, racial justice, climate action, immigration rights, and economic justice. We are looking for a full-time Coordinator to join our texting team – an entry-level role that provides hands-on experience working with large-scale mobile fundraising programs for progressive campaigns and non-profits. This position is a temporary, full-time cycle hire role designed to provide additional capacity during a defined period of work. This role can start on or after June 1, 2026 and will end on November 13, 2026. This is an evergreen role that Middle Seat fills on a rolling basis as needed. About the Role Senior Account Manager is a key support role within our Client Services Department, designed for someone with strong online fundraising and/or digital persuasion knowledge and cross-platform digital strategy. This role is a great fit for someone who is ready to grow into full account ownership. You’ll work closely with senior leadership to help manage day-to-day coordination, client communications, and project tracking across a small portfolio of accounts. You’ll learn our client service standards and SOPs inside and out, supporting the department on projects while developing the skills to lead accounts independently over time. This is a great fit for someone who’s been in a leading digital strategy role at an organization or on a campaign — and is ready to learn the ropes of client-facing account management. This role is not part of the bargaining unit
