    Deputy Director, Groundwork Collaborative

    Status:

    Full time; Groundwork Collaborative is searching for a Director to lead their newly launched Economic Speakers Bureau ('the Bureau').

    The Bureau is a core piece of Groundwork's mission to tell a new story about how the economy works and who it works for.

    Since launching in June 2023, the Economic Speakers Bureau has attracted high-caliber speakers, garnered widespread media coverage, and helped shape the conversation on the most important economic issues of the day.

    We've helped leading economic thinkers harness the news cycle to build reputations as go-to, on-air commentators and built trusted relationships with the morning cable news programs that put the economy in context for decision makers each day.

    As we enter a critical season for coverage of the economy, Groundwork is looking to hire an experienced leader to direct the day to day operations of the Bureau, expand its reach and influence, and transform the Bureau into an enduring piece of communications infrastructure that can shape media narratives about the economy.

    The Director is a senior leader and strategist who will oversee every aspect of the Bureau's day-to-day operations and future growth.

    The Director will supervise a small team of staff and consultants.

    The Director will also serve as the face of the Bureau, representing the organization at public events, recruiting top thought leaders to join the Bureau, and working to build the Bureau's public brand and credibility with the media, partners, and funders.

    This is an exciting opportunity to oversee and expand a promising new initiative, backed by a proven strategy and a depth of support, that is transforming how policymakers and pundits talk about the economy and building infrastructure to create a lasting shift in media narratives around the economy.

    Create, execute, and manage an overall strategic plan for the Bureau;
    Oversee a team of staff and consultants to execute on the goals of the Bureau and manage their performance;

    Identify, connect with, and recruit new members for the Bureau–including economic experts, former government officials, movement spokespeople, and grassroots leaders–both in the Washington, D.Provide strategic communications and thought leadership guidance and support to ESB members to help them build their profiles, sharpen their points of view, and drive their message effectively in on-camera appearances.

    Plan, oversee, and attend regular in-person media trainings and develop continuous learning and capacity-building opportunities for Bureau members.

    Coordinate with Groundwork's Communications, Narrative, and Research and Policy teams to set message strategy, ensuring that the Bureau can provide message guidance to members that is clear, compelling, and responsive to a rapidly-shifting political, economic, and media landscape.

    Be a public champion of the Bureau, helping to attract top-tier spokespeople, foster strong media relationships, attract funding partners, and build influence and reach;
    Work creatively, using all the communications tools at our disposal, to help create and advance a progressive narrative on the economy;

    You have an entrepreneurial spirit and are excited at the opportunity to grow and expand on the Bureau's early successes.

    You love communications and media and understand that changing narratives is essential to shifting policy.
    You have experience running a communications operation (e.g., governmental office, political campaign, non-profit, or private organization).
    You are an excellent manager and have experience hiring and managing a team.
    You have a strong grasp of the economic news media landscape, including print, digital, and broadcast.

    You understand the news cycle, know how to use it, and how the Bureau's progressive economic worldview fits into it.

    You are already familiar with the progressive economic policymaking, think tank, and/or academic community.

    We offer a generous benefits package, including five weeks of vacation and personal leave, two week-long office closures, additional time off for floating and federal holidays, zero-premium health insurance, a generous HRA, a retirement match of up to 6%, up to 16 weeks parental leave, health club and cell-phone reimbursements, among other benefits.

    To begin the application process, please submit an application on our career page, including your resume, writing sample, and cover letter.

    We fight for progressive economic policy and narrative change that builds accountable public power, breaks up concentrations of private power, and affirmatively centers people too long left out of prosperity.

    Groundwork's unique structure – part strategic communications, part think tank, and part issue advocacy organization – allows us to drive narrative and policy change with credibility, expertise, and impact.

    We work across four core audiences – the media, policymakers, economic experts, and grasstops leaders – and use targeted policy campaigns and timely research and messaging to advance a truly inclusive economic worldview.
