Jeffries’ office put out a posting Tuesday for a “dynamic and highly skilled” digital manager who has expertise in Adobe Photoshop, Premiere Pro, After Effects and more.
“The Digital Manager will be primarily responsible for transforming the Leader’s on-camera content into compelling, high-impact video, audio and visual content for online platforms,” the posting said, noting that the ideal candidate “understands the digital media landscape.”
Jeffries’ team also stressed that the new digital manager needs to have “excellent judgment.”
Two weeks ago, the judgment of Jeffries’ digital handlers was called into question after a post on his Instagram account showed a distorted photo of the congressman.
The 54-year-old looked fly at first glance as he donned a pair of sunglasses — but the bench on which he casually rested was glaringly warped.
Internet sleuths quickly uncovered other images on Jeffries’ social media accounts of him posing in settings where the backgrounds looked suspiciously distorted.
Even progressives like journalist Ken Klippenstein joined the pile-on.
“Hakeem Jeffries is such a charisma black hole that it’s warping the fabric of spacetime,” Klippenstein wrote on X July 7.
GOP operatives also hammered Jeffries for the faux pas.
“Hakeem Jeffries slimming himself in Photoshop is the most transparency we’ve seen from Democrats in years,” Republican communicator Erin Maguire chided at the time.
The Post contacted a Jeffries spokesperson for clarification about whether the digital manager job posting was related to this month’s mockery.
“Guess it takes a full-time editor to keep up with a full-time embarrassment,” National Republican Congressional Committee spokesperson Mike Marinella needled about the recruitment effort.
The digital manager is also required to study engagement metrics across social media platforms, clip videos for Jeffries and engage with his allies on the internet, according to the job description.
Candidates are expected to have at least three years of experience.
