Brooklyn city councilman Brad Lander, in an unusual job listing for a communications director that he posted on several employment sites, said he is looking for someone to help "resist the threats of the Trump regime to American democratic values and vulnerable constituencies".
When not taking on the leader of the free world, the staffer will also do more mundane tasks, like overseeing media strategy and communications, according to the job posting put out by the Democratic leader.
"People are genuinely worried and recognise that if we're going to be successful protecting people's rights, we're going to have to be organised and loud," he said.
A minimum of three to four years of communications experience - ideally in New York City - is required for the job, as is a sense of humour, according to the listing.
The listing does not include a salary, but one of the employment sites it was posted on, estimated it to be in the USD 61,000 to USD 67,000-a-year range, based on offers for similar jobs.
