Band Together
Date Posted: 1/23/2025
Band Together Communications is looking for our first full-time Account Manager to join our team.
Let Us Introduce Ourselves
Band Together is an independent communications shop with a singular goal: to help mission-based organizations tell their story. We started quietly two years ago and officially launched in January 2025. We’re unapologetic generalists with a passion for leveraging communications to advance our clients’ strategies. From speech writing to media relations, messaging development to public awareness campaigns - we are strategic partners, creative muscle, ghostwriters, extra hands, and cheerleaders.
What You’ll Do
As an Account Manager, you will:
Write - You will write…a lot! Whether it’s social media content, press materials, first drafts of messaging documents, or analysis of existing messaging - we’ll be relying on your brain, your creativity, and your pen (or keyboard).
Design - You will act as our informal graphic designer, leveraging online resources such as Canva or AI design tools to create simple social content on behalf of clients and provide a consistent look and feel on presentations, fact sheets, and other key documents.
Project Manage - You will pitch in wherever extra hands are needed and help keep the trains running on time - that means building agendas, developing and maintaining project timelines, taking notes, scheduling calls, and sending those friendly nudges if team members aren’t hitting their deadlines.
Research - You will be our eyes and ears, from conducting peer research, to finding and sharing compelling examples of storytelling, and everything in between.
Publicize - You will get the opportunity to help our clients tell their story with press, supporting the entire process from building media lists, to writing pitches, conducting outreach to reporters, coordinating interviews, and building coverage reports.
If You Were Here Right Now, You Would Be:
Creating Content (40%)
Editing stories describing the impact of a client working in criminal justice reform and creating a simple layout for them in Canva.
Refining website copy on behalf of a client who works in veterans health.
Project Managing (30%)
Developing and maintaining project timelines, and coordinating with team members on their assignments, such as setting up systems to track multiple streams of work for a client working in early education.
Supporting scheduling for the team.
Planning agendas, taking notes, and circulating next steps following client calls.
Conducting Research (20%)
Conducting research on media buying opportunities to support a world-class park and landmark.
Supporting PR Efforts (10%)
Drafting talking points for an upcoming national radio interview for a CEO.
Building media lists, tracking media coverage for clients, and compiling weekly and monthly reports.
We’re Looking For:
A jack or jill of all trades, a Swiss army knife, a communications rockstar, a utility player, someone who says, “put me in coach,” and someone who won’t judge us for using mixed metaphors. We appreciate your GPA, but value your experience waiting tables or volunteering in the community just as much.
Want to join the band (sorry, couldn’t help ourselves)? Apply if this sounds like you:
You have 3-6 years of experience in communications or a similar role for impact-driven organizations - that could be a nonprofit, advocacy group, public relations firm, political campaign, or a company that cares about doing the right thing.
You’re an excellent writer who enjoys the writing process with experience translating complex ideas into concise and easily understood content.
You like exploring digital tools (such as Canva or Bluesky) and have experience developing creative assets.
You take a proactive approach to getting work done and have experience tracking multiple projects and priorities.
You have strong verbal communication skills, and you have experience contributing to calls and meetings.
You sweat the details - you dot every i, cross every t, and focus on accuracy and excellence.
You want to do work that makes a mark in the community.
