MISSION TO METRICS

As a Digital Marketeer, your role is to help create clear, intuitive, and motivating digital experiences that show supporters how they can help and make doing so feel easy and rewarding.
“This role is about being fascinated by, and digging deep into the supporter experience — understanding what motivates people, removing friction, and continually improving how we guide supporters from interest to action. Small optimizations can make a huge difference for the mission.” — Erika Träskvik, Head of Digital Marketing
You’ll work closely with the Head of Digital Marketing, owning day-to-day improvements across supporter journeys, forms, email flows, and other online experiences.
