50% Public Affairs & Administrative Support for the Managing Partner

This position is well suited to someone who is highly organized, resourceful, proactive and comfortable managing a variety of administrative responsibilities in a fast-paced environment. It also offers an opportunity to gain exposure to client-facing communications work, public affairs and executive-level operations.

This is a hybrid position requiring a strong at-home work setup, flexibility and the ability to attend meetings and in-office days as needed. The position requires you to Bring Your Own Device (laptop and smartphone) and manage your own transportation.

This is a full-time permanent position.

Communications & Client Support

Assist with media monitoring and social listening across multiple client accounts.

Compile media coverage, news updates and relevant research into summaries and reports.

Conduct background research to support client projects, communications initiatives and ongoing monitoring.

Assist with drafting, formatting and proofreading communications materials, correspondence and internal updates.

Support the preparation and organization of client reports, presentations and meeting materials.

Assist with media list maintenance, contact research and other PR-related administrative tasks.

Public Affairs & Managing Partner Support (Approximately 50%)

Executive & Administrative Support

Provide direct administrative and organizational support to the Managing Partner.

Assist with calendar and schedule management, including coordinating meetings, managing invitations and prioritizing commitments.

Coordinate meeting logistics, prepare agendas and briefing materials, and capture notes and action items as required.

Support travel and accommodation bookings, including researching options, coordinating logistics and preparing itineraries.

Maintain organized records, documents and correspondence.

Track key deliverables, deadlines, outstanding requests and follow-ups related to the Managing Partner's work.

Assist with day-to-day administrative tasks and special projects as required.

Public Affairs & Research Support

Assist with monitoring relevant political, government and media developments.

Compile research, news updates and background information into organized summaries and briefing materials.

Support the preparation and organization of public affairs documents, presentations and correspondence.

Assist with stakeholder research, contact list maintenance and other coordination tasks.

Provide general administrative and project support for public affairs initiatives.

Skills & Experience:

Currently enrolled in or recently graduated from a communications, public relations, political science, journalism, business administration or related program.

Strong organizational and administrative skills, with excellent attention to detail.

Strong written and verbal communication skills.

Ability to manage multiple priorities, tasks and deadlines in a fast-paced environment.

Comfortable coordinating schedules, organizing information and managing follow-ups.
