  • Workflow Oversight: Manage internal teams across different offices
  • Professional Development: Act as a coach and/or direct manager for junior staff
  • Growth Strategy: Partner with agency leadership to identify and present proposals for new business
  • Relationship Building: Expand existing accounts while establishing trust with prospective clients

Requirements

  • 8–10+ years in public affairs, PR, or strategic comms (agency or political background preferred)
  • Master of AP Style
  • ability to pivot between creative storytelling and analytical strategic reporting
  • Proficiency in media monitoring software (Cision, Meltwater) and social media marketing platforms
  • Proven track record of managing multi-client deliverables and leading cross-functional teams with minimal oversight
  • Ability to stay calm and provide "real-time" recommendations under high-pressure, tight-timeline scenarios

What we offer

  • 100% company-paid medical, dental, and vision insurance
  • 401(k) program with employer match up to 4%
  • generous time off for vacation
  • $50 monthly phone reimbursement
  • unlimited sick time
  • 16 weeks of paid leave for new parents
