Senior Manager, Social Media and Email Marketing – Cato Institute – Washington, DC

About the Cato Institute
The Cato Institute is a public policy research organization – a think tank – dedicated to the principles of individual liberty, limited government, free markets, and peace. Its scholars and analysts conduct independent, nonpartisan research on a wide range of policy issues.

Founded in 1977, Cato owes its name to Cato’s Letters, a series of essays published in 18th-century England that presented a vision of a society free from excessive government power. Those essays inspired the architects of the American Revolution. And the simple, timeless principles of that revolution – individual liberty, limited government, and free markets – turn out to be even more powerful in today’s world of global markets and unprecedented access to information than Jefferson or Madison could have imagined. Social and economic freedom is not just the best policy for a free people, it is the indispensable framework for the future.

Cato Institute is an Equal Opportunity Employer.

Description
The Cato Institute seeks a dynamic, experienced professional to join our marketing team. The Senior Manager, Social Media and Email Marketing will work closely with the communications and internal teams to devise and execute social media and email marketing strategies that enhance Cato’s digital presence and engagement.
