Our users win campaigns every hour. We’re building a world where no one is powerless and where making change is part of everyday life. We’re just getting started — and we hope you’ll join us.

• Create and maintain active Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and X channels with a clear, consistent tone of voice and strong viral potential.

• Manage and support a network of content creators.

• Produce high-performing video and static content about the Change.org brand and petitions, sourcing material from petition starters, UGC, and online trends.

• Develop and maintain partnerships with media outlets, influencers, and collaborators across the political spectrum.

• Monitor issues, news stories, and trends to identify the right moments to elevate campaigns — using these opportunities to drive brand awareness and petition success.

• Design and run social growth experiments.

• Legit AI content creation skills and a love for metrics and analytics

• Ability to deliver high-quality content on brief while bringing original creative thinking.

• Deep understanding of Germany’s political, news, and social media landscape, especially topics and trends relating to social justice, economic, political, and environmental issues.
