Serve as an Intern
Political Internship
About Team Moulton
Team Moulton is a tight-knit, hardworking team driven by a commitment to service and changing our country for the better. We’re looking for creative, kind, and mission-oriented people to join us in these efforts.
Our organization is built around six core values: courage, empathy, authenticity, action, transparency, and growth. Those are the same six values that Congressman Moulton’s teams have been centered around since he was first elected to Congress, and we try to live up to them in everything we do--from our internal culture to our public communications to our interactions with voters in the field.
Team Moulton represents Seth Moulton for Congress and Serve America PAC, a political action committee that supports Democratic candidates for public office who have backgrounds in national or public service. Serve America was founded and is led by Congressman Seth Moulton (MA-06). We endorse candidates for the U.S. Senate and U.S. House of Representatives across the country. All of our candidates are mission-driven and service-focused, regardless of their backgrounds.
Job Description
Our internships provide the unique opportunity to develop professional and personal skills, specifically in the world of political action committees, politics, and leadership.
Interns will be involved in the day-to-day tasks of a political organization. The intern will be focused on supporting the finance, operations, political, and communications departments. This organization promotes growth in several areas: critical thinking, research, organization, workplace decorum, acquisition of skills and knowledge of how campaigns operate, and more. The exposure to a wide variety of information and hands-on experience allows for the individual to make an impact and learn a significant amount. We are a small team, which allows the intern to gain exposure to our broader efforts across the organization.
Through this internship, you will become versed in campaign finance, political operations, and communications. This includes preparing the principle for call time, data acquisition and entry, event planning, conducting political and donor research, and carrying out research projects to further department goals and long term strategy. In this position, you will report directly to our campaign manager.
Internship Details
This is a paid internship with a monthly stipend. The start date is in late January/early February. The internship will last through the end of May with the option for a summer extension. You will be expected to work around 12-15 hours a week, and your hours can be flexible depending on your schedule.
Who are we looking for?
This opportunity is open to all levels, for individuals who are highly motivated and have a passion for our mission. For some, this opportunity will serve as a chance to augment their academic studies, while others will use this to explore a new interest in the political field. We are looking for interns who are particularly energized to learn and dedicated individuals who can work individually and in team settings.
As this is a telework internship, applicants should be able to prioritize and complete tasks without constant supervision. Exceptional writing and data management skills are required. Previous experience with NGPVAN or other customer relationship systems is a bonus, but not required. You do not need to have previous experience working in political campaigns or campaign fundraising to apply to this internship, though it may be helpful. An interest in national and/or Massachusetts politics, however, is highly desirable.
This internship will be remote with some in-person opportunities depending on your location. You are not required to be in the Washington, D.C. or Massachusetts for this internship.
