American Progress has an immediate opening for a Partnerships Associate or Partnerships Strategist to support the Digital Advocacy team’s coordination and amplification efforts to build the case for progressive policies and values.
With Americans facing an increasing volume of news and media content, it has never been more important to amplify progressive policies and build up the necessary communications infrastructure to break through the noise and reach key audiences—and American Progress is committed to leading the way.
A strong candidate for this role will work as part of a team that builds relationships across the progressive political landscape in order to promote messaging and content, ultimately improving the performance and reach of progressive policy content online. They will have a keen interest in and understanding of relationship management, how content gets disseminated across platforms, progressive influencers and organizations, and the progressive landscape. The Associate or Strategist’s responsibilities include managing relationships with other progressive operatives and organizations, identifying opportunities for partner engagement and expansion, and supporting the execution of the partnerships team’s strategy.
This role will be driven by American Progress’ mission to improve the lives of all Americans through bold, progressive ideas as well as strong leadership and concerted action, with the aim of not only changing the conversation, but changing the country. The Associate or Strategist will be part of a dynamic Advocacy and Outreach department that supports work across the organization’s strategic priorities, including ensuring that Americans see, feel, and understand the difference progressive economic policies make in their lives, and exposing and driving a narrative to combat the threats posed by the extreme MAGA policy agenda.
