The ideal candidate will bring proven experience in social media strategy, video production, and graphic design to articulate and amplify USGLC messaging – and a sharp instinct for what earns attention and stops the scroll.

Through more than 30 years of education and advocacy, USGLC’s nationwide coalition of bipartisan political, military, business, and nonprofit leaders have come together to highlight the strategic imperative of U.S. global leadership to build a safer world and a stronger America (watch 30 years in 3 minutes here).
