JOB DEScription

We're hiring for this role at either the Manager or Senior Manager level. We'll assess the appropriate level based on the depth and breadth of your experience, with particular weight given to years of client-facing or project-based communications work, familiarity with the learning and workforce sectors, and demonstrated ability to independently manage projects and produce high-quality content. The ideal candidate is a skilled communicator and strategic thinker who is eager to deepen their expertise and ready to take on meaningful client-facing responsibilities within a collaborative, fast-moving agency environment. 

We believe that every job should offer opportunities for the expertise you already possess to shine, as well as provide the chance to continue building and expanding your skillset through new responsibilities. The nature of strategic communications means that your ongoing daily activities may change regularly, and we hope you're excited about the chance to join a small and growing team. Some regular travel will be required.
