This is a hands-on role at the center of GSG Political's marketing efforts. You'll help shape and amplify our political narrative, develop and promote thought leadership, elevate our pollsters and research, drive media and executive visibility, and keep marketing initiatives moving across multiple channels. You'll also support new business efforts by keeping the core materials and information our teams rely on for proposals and pitches current, organized, and easy to access.
The right candidate thrives in a fast-paced, demanding environment and is exceptionally organized, detail-oriented, and process-driven. This role has a lot of moving pieces and requires someone who can juggle competing priorities, anticipate what needs to happen next, and drive work forward. We have a strong foundation to build from, but we're looking for someone who will proactively identify what we should be doing next and take ownership of making it happen.
Prior marketing experience isn't required. What matters most are strong political instincts, excellent writing and communication skills, sound judgment, and the ability to get things done. We're looking for a proactive self-starter who loves politics and polling and brings both creativity and rigor to the work.
