Associate

We're seeking an Associate with a passion for social impact and sustainability communications, a breadth of skills, and a can-do attitude. Our ideal Associate is highly detail-oriented, responsive, organized, and self-sufficient. This person can balance account management and thought leadership research with administrative tasks with ad hoc requests from senior team members, with an eye towards the big picture and a commitment to results.

Qualifications:

• A bachelor’s degree or higher.
• 3+ years of relevant work experience.
• Experience in corporate social responsibility, ESG, sustainability, and/or purpose.
• Strong writing skills and an understanding of style/grammar rules.
• A foundation in communications and/or corporate strategy. Media relations experience a plus.

How you work:

• You’re flexible and delight in handling administrative tasks one hour and building strategic recommendations the next.
• You ask smart, strategic questions. Then you get busy crossing things off your list. You have a relentless focus on results.
• You’re driven, a constant learner, and a bit of a perfectionist. You multitask and gracefully keep many balls in the air.
• You have the self-confidence to take feedback and direction with aplomb.
• You manage up, down, and sideways—dealing with complicated issues and high-powered people with discretion and poise.
• You can set your own schedule and work independently and/or in a virtual capacity. You’re accountable and proactive in raising your hand when you need help.
