About Caring Across Generations:
Caring Across Generations (CAG) is a national campaign working to make care more affordable and accessible at every stage of life, while ensuring caregivers - both family caregivers and professional care workers, people with disabilities and aging adults are treated with respect and dignity.
Founded in 2011 by Sarita Gupta and Ai-jen Poo (who were the executive directors of Jobs with Justice and the National Domestic Workers Alliance, respectively), we take an explicitly intersectional approach to our work, connecting the dots between the urgent need to build a strong care infrastructure and the need for bold action on immigration reform, gender, racial, economic and disability justice, and addressing the growing needs of our aging population.
Our campaign is focused on creating change in three ways:
- Fighting for groundbreaking policy at the state and federal level,
- Changing hearts and minds through storytelling and cultural organizing, and
- Build a powerful constituency for care through online organizing and convening a powerful coalition of state and national care organizations and advocates to transform our nation’s care infrastructure.

As the Senior Digital Manager, you’ll be a thought partner to the Senior Director of Digital to ensure all our digital strategies and output are working to meet the organization’s engagement and development goals. You’ll use digital mobilizing, campaigning, and fundraising strategies to: shift traditional attitudes that view care needs as an individual problem; push for legislation that makes care more accessible at every stage of life; and, build our engagement program. You’ll be responsible for designing and optimizing multi-channel digital engagement and fundraising pushes. You’ll juggle planned, responsive, and ongoing core digital work – and never miss a beat in seizing opportunities to insert our narratives into the cultural zeitgeist.
