🏢 About American Business Immigration Coalition

The American Business Immigration Coalition (ABIC) is unique as a bipartisan coalition of over 1,700 diverse businesses advocating for immigration reforms that strengthen both the economy and American families. Working here means contributing to meaningful policy change while bridging business interests with human impact, offering a rare blend of advocacy, politics, and corporate engagement.

About This Role

This role involves leading multi-platform content creation and social strategy to amplify ABIC's immigration advocacy campaigns, requiring daily video production and rapid-response to political developments. It's impactful because you'll directly shape public and stakeholder perceptions on critical immigration issues, driving engagement that influences policy debates and legislative outcomes.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day involves monitoring immigration news and Congressional activity first thing, then creating and scheduling daily video content for multiple platforms while adapting to breaking developments. You might shoot a TikTok explaining a new policy proposal, edit a YouTube Short featuring a business leader's testimony, and coordinate with advocacy teams on rapid-response messaging—all while tracking engagement metrics and adjusting strategy.
