The Democratic National Committee is looking to hire a social networks manager to oversee President Barack Obama's MySpace, Facebook and Twitter accounts. With his current ghost tweeter, Mia Cambronero, due to stand down, the DNC hopes to fill the position immediately.

The DNC's 'Organizing for America' project explains that it wants to empower communities to come together over issues close to their hearts. The social networks manager will help implement grassroots campaigns to 'advance the President's agenda for change'. But social media junkies take note - while it sounds like a dream job, the application form asks for someone who is 'ready to work hard' and warns: 'This isn't a 9-5 sort of job.' 

Candidates must be willing to relocate to Washington, DC, and should be 'passionate about engaging millions of Americans in advancing President Obama's agenda and changing the country'. Preferable skills include excellent writing and editing, strong organisational and campaigning instincts and complex project management.
