## Digital Director
### About the role
Global tech trade association ITI is seeking a Digital Director to lead its digital presence and social strategy at a pivotal moment for the technology industry and the policy debates shaping it. This is a senior individual contributor role ideal for a digitally savvy strategist who is equally comfortable setting direction and rolling up their sleeves to execute — someone who understands the policy landscape, knows how to reach and engage audiences, and brings fresh, forward‑thinking ideas about how a tech industry association should show up online.
This person will own ITI’s digital channels end‑to‑end and serve as the connective tissue between the public affairs, policy, and advocacy teams.

## Your Responsibilities
### Strategy & Vision
– Develop and drive an integrated digital and social media strategy aligned with the organization’s policy priorities, advocacy goals, and member engagement objectives.
– Identify emerging platforms, tools, and formats and make smart recommendations about where and how the organization should leverage digital assets.
– Establish KPIs, track performance, and translate data into actionable insights and narrative for leadership.
### Digital & Content Development and Management
– Own all aspects of the organization’s website (itic.org), including content strategy and publishing, SEO and AI search optimization, performance, and vendor/platform management for technical maintenance and upgrades.
– Develop and execute a content calendar across owned channels — website and social media (LinkedIn, X/Twitter, and others as relevant) — that reflects the organization’s policy agenda and keeps audiences informed and engaged.
– Ensure all digital content is accurate and appropriately calibrated for different audiences, from policy audiences in the U.S. to international stakeholders.
### Policy & Stakeholder Fluency
– Work closely with the policy team to translate complex legislative and regulatory issues into compelling, accessible digital content.
– Build familiarity with key policymakers, Hill staff, agency officials, and global counterparts to inform targeting and engagement strategies.
– Support advocacy campaigns with digital amplification strategies that drive awareness and action among relevant audiences.
### Innovation & Industry Perspective
– Bring a tech‑forward mindset to the role — actively experimenting with new tools, formats, and approaches that reflect the industry ITI represents.
– Champion digital innovation internally, helping the organization model the kind of forward‑thinking approach it advocates for externally.
