Mayor de Blasio is looking for a progressive speech writer as he retools his media strategy.

A job listing posted Thursday on idealist.org revealed that Hizzoner wants to hire a “senior speech writer” who will serve as a “key member of the team responsible for communicating the administration’s vision, mission and policies to New Yorkers.”

The ideal candidate will also be expected to “refine facts and messaging” and finalize “event remarks, policy speeches, op-eds, press statements‎ [and] social media copy.”

The mayor’s revamped plans follow the New York Press Club accusing him of being “retrogressive” to reporters.
