Position Summary

We are seeking an Account Associate (Field & Community Engagement Focus) to support our expanding presence in the Bay Area and Central Valley. This role is ideal for individuals with experience in grassroots organizing, community outreach, public affairs, or political campaigns who excel in fast-paced, collaborative environments.

This is a community-facing position responsible for regional outreach management, stakeholder engagement, and program coordination. The ideal candidate is comfortable managing teams, building relationships with community-based organizations, organizing workshops and events, and representing the firm across diverse communities.

While the role will have a primary regional assignment, it is not a project-based position. We are looking for a long-term team member who can help grow our community engagement, outreach, and coalition-building capacity in Northern California.

The Account Associate will also work closely with internal departments—including operations, data intelligence, finance, HR, and creative services—to ensure seamless execution of deliverables.
