• Maintain and update our editorial calendar in Asana
• Provide the execution and follow-through that lets our team focus on strategy
About You:
• You have prior experience in PR, communications, journalism, or political science, including hands-on comms internships, and you bring a proven ability to execute on administrative details
• Comfortable in Google Workspace and either know Asana or can pick up new project management tools quickly
• You can reliably turn around notes and readouts the same day
• You take feedback and edits in stride and use them to improve your work
• You exercise sound judgment and discretion when handling sensitive, executive- or board-adjacent information
We'd love to hear from you!
