Responsibilities

• High-Flex Narrative Architecture: Lead the development of 360-degree communications strategies that advance social change at every scale. You can architect a Get Out the Vote digital campaign in the morning and a global crisis response for an international human rights NGO in the afternoon.
• Strategic Thought Partnership: Serve as a trusted advisor to a diverse portfolio of clients—from state-level civic tech startups to multilateral global foundations. You use data-driven insights to prove how modern advocacy must be both hyper-local and globally aware to be impactful.
• Modern Media & Stakeholder Authority: Leverage a bi-focal network of media contacts. You are as comfortable pitching a local metro desk on community resilience as you are briefing a foreign correspondent on international aid transparency.
• Entrepreneurial Practice Growth: Partner with senior leadership to scale an Integrated Advocacy desk. You see the white space where domestic policy and global affairs intersect (e.g., climate migration, digital sovereignty) and proactively hunt for new business in those sectors.
• Integrated Leadership: Lead cross-functional account teams with a focus on agility. You oversee the evolution of best practices that allow your team to pivot resources quickly as the 2026 news cycle shifts from domestic election oversight to international developments.
• Mentorship & Hybrid Culture: Directly manage and empower a team of account leaders. You are a natural coach who fosters a culture of global citizenship, encouraging your team to understand how domestic civic trends influence international democratic norms.

Requirements

• The Advocacy Generalist: You have 10+ years of experience in PR and communications, with a proven track record in both domestic political/civic campaigns and international social impact work.
• The Strategic Elasticity: You can set a big-picture global strategy and then pivot to lead a tactical boots-on-the-ground media activation. You excel at finding the human thread in complex geopolitical data.
• A Dynamic Communicator: You are a master of code-switching across audiences. You can write a persuasive op-ed for a rural local paper and a sophisticated white paper for a global summit with equal ease and authenticity.
• Politically Savvy & Geopolitically Aware: You have a deep understanding of the 2026 U.S. political landscape and a working knowledge of major global flashpoints. You understand how domestic midterm outcomes can ripple across the international stage.
• Master of Accounts: You are incredibly organized and calm under pressure. You excel at managing the financial and administrative health of high-stakes accounts that move at the speed of the 24-hour global news cycle.

Benefits
