- Building and fostering relationships with key partners including clients, influencers, media, and stakeholders.
- Identifying new and organic growth opportunities as part of the practice’s broader new business strategy.
What you’ll bring:
- Between 5-8 years of communications experience in a public relations agency, providing in-house communications, working on political or issue advocacy campaigns, or in a public affairs or stakeholder engagement role. Experience could include working for a PR/marketing agency, on Capitol Hill or political campaigns, or with an issue advocacy organization or think tank.
- Designing and implementing stakeholder engagement campaigns that unite people behind a common mission to drive positive community change.
- Experience with earned, owned, and paid media campaigns. This includes extensive experience with strategy and implementation and relationships with key reporters and news outlets.
- Knowledge of industry trends and current affairs. Preference will be given to candidates with communications experience related to energy issues and specifically renewable or green energy.
