Responsibilities

Be a project manager: We pride ourselves on providing excellent service to our clients. You will proactively manage projects for specific clients, maintaining detailed timelines with deadlines, dependencies, and benchmarks. You'll anticipate needs, flag issues early, facilitate feedback loops across teams, and ensure seamless coordination so that nothing is missed or delayed. To be successful, you'll need to stay exceptionally organized and be comfortable managing up

Create communications plans: In this role, you’ll work with our directors and senior directors to create communications plans and execute on those earned and paid media strategies. You will work on all types of public affairs and paid media campaigns, leveraging traditional, print outlets and broadcast/cable television, as well as digital and social platforms. To do so successfully, you will be thoughtful, curious, strategic, and use good judgment

Communicate clearly: With guidance from senior team members, in both public affairs and paid media campaigns, you will write and craft a range of communications, including media advisories, talking points, proposals, op-eds, ad concepts, direct mail, scripts, social media content, and other content. You’ll review deliverables for clarity, accuracy, and quality, ensuring all work meets internal standards

Build relationships with stakeholders: It will be important for you to build relationships with clients, team members, and vendors, and to do so in a remote environment. Building rapport over the phone, zoom, and email is crucial. Upholding a strict level of confidentiality, while establishing and maintaining trusting and warm relationships both internally and externally is key

Be a team player and grow: We are currently a mid-sized team but are continually growing. We have an all-hands-on-deck approach in a remote working environment. You’ll contribute strategic input in meetings and collaborate closely with teammates to move projects forward. To be successful in this role, you should be responsive to emails, texts, and calls from clients, team members, and vendors

Manage production workflows and vendor coordination: Oversee the creative approval process, organize feedback across multiple versions, manage asset delivery to vendors, and traffic paid media campaigns across digital and traditional platforms. You'll coordinate production logistics and ensure all materials meet quality standards and deadlines
