Job Description

Moris Media is currently hiring for a Political Strategist in Columbus. This job may require you to operate in a hybrid work setting, contributing both on-site during campaign phases and remotely for strategic planning and client consultations. As India’s leading Political PR and Digital Reputation Management agency, Moris Media empowers political parties, leaders, and social figures to communicate with precision, credibility, and consistency through research-driven storytelling and data-backed strategies. The Political Strategist will serve as a central advisory authority responsible for shaping campaign direction, defining reputation architecture, and building long-term public trust for political clients.

This role demands a deep understanding of political ecosystems, public sentiment, and media landscapes. The Political Strategist will conceptualize campaign vision, translate political objectives into communication frameworks, and ensure synchronization between digital, field, and media operations. Working closely with campaign managers, policy advisors, and creative teams, the strategist will design cohesive narratives that align with voter psychology, emerging issues, and electoral timelines.

The position involves real-time monitoring of public opinion, issue prioritization, and stakeholder engagement while ensuring each campaign move reflects authenticity and strategic foresight. The strategist will guide clients through alliance decisions, media positioning, and crisis response, ensuring each communication touchpoint strengthens credibility and influence. From shaping speeches and digital narratives to advising on press outreach and public positioning, this role serves as the backbone of Moris Media’s political advisory ecosystem. The ideal candidate will merge analytical insight with communication artistry, ensuring every campaign—local or national—achieves measurable impact, emotional connection, and sustainable public trust.
