Job description

At LSG, managers are the connective tissue between strategy and execution, and the reason our clients keep coming back.

We're an impact agency that builds brands, shapes reputations, and moves public opinion on issues that matter. Our managers sit at the center of that work: translating big ideas into polished deliverables, keeping complex campaigns on track, and building the client relationships that define our reputation.

If you thrive on variety, take pride in your craft, and want to see your work make a tangible difference, this role was made for you.

What You'll Do

You'll own significant pieces of client work across public affairs, communications, brand building, and community engagement campaigns, often juggling multiple accounts at once. That means:

• Driving projects from kickoff to delivery, anticipating obstacles, solving problems, and making sure the final product reflects our standards.
• Writing and editing content that actually moves people: op-eds, press releases, social media, one-pagers, action alerts, and more.
• Managing day-to-day deliverables for clients while keeping the bigger strategic picture in view.
• Conducting research that informs campaign strategy and keeps your team ahead of industry, political, and media trends.
• Building genuine relationships with clients. Being the responsive, reliable, thoughtful partner they want to work with.
• Coordinating logistics for meetings and events (yes, sometimes that means travel), and making sure nothing falls through the cracks.
• Contributing to internal reporting, client updates, and the operational rhythm that keeps our accounts humming.

What You Bring

• 2-3 years of experience in public affairs, communications, journalism, or brand management, ideally working on complex campaigns, policy challenges, or high-stakes messaging.
• Prior agency experience.
• A portfolio that shows you can write. We're looking for sharp, clear, compelling work across formats.
• Experience managing multifaceted projects with lots of moving parts.
• The ability to think critically and creatively. Your work should be relevant, smart, and occasionally surprising.
• Strong organizational instincts: you meet deadlines, communicate proactively, and don't let things slip.

Why LSG

This is a hybrid position based in our downtown DC office Monday-Thursday, with remote work available on Fridays. The position requires an average of 2-3 days of travel per month.

You'll work across a diverse portfolio of clients and issues, with real opportunities to grow. We move fast, we care deeply about the work, and we invest in people who show up ready to contribute.

• Base salary: $75,000-90,000 per year, plus annual performance bonus eligibility
• Fully covered employee health, dental, and vision insurance (no cost to you, seriously)
• Flexible PTO policy: take the time you need; we trust you to manage it
• Pet insurance on us: we cover premiums for up to 2 pets
• $500/year wellness reimbursement for gym, yoga, hiking gear, whatever keeps you moving
• Work from anywhere the week of July 4th and the week between Christmas and New Year's
• Snacks on snacks: the kitchen is stocked and yes, we take requests
