Public Affairs Account Executive

Push Digital Group•Alexandria, VA

5d•$65,000 - $97,000•Hybrid

About The Position

We're hiring an Public Affairs Account Executive to run client work day to day. This is a role with real ownership early. You will be on calls with the people who make the decisions, and what you build will run. Drive is a small team with a large bench behind it. You get the range of a boutique shop and the production, media-buying, design, and data capacity of our parent company, Push Digital Group. Practically, that means an AE here touches strategy, creative, and media instead of being boxed into one lane.

Requirements

One to three years in public affairs, public policy, government relations, corporate communications, or political campaigns.
You should be able to write. Clean, fast, and in someone else's voice. Experience writing for advocacy, fundraising, or GOTV campaigns tells us a lot.
Curiosity, judgment, and attention to detail you bring with you.
The people who do well here are genuinely interested in how policy fights get won, take ownership without being asked, and are good teammates when the week gets long.

Nice To Haves

Capitol Hill or state legislative experience is a strong plus.

Responsibilities

Own the account. You'll be a primary point of contact for your clients. That means knowing their issue, their opposition, their timeline, and the politics around all three well enough to tell them what they need to hear, not just take the order. You'll shape strategy alongside senior staff and bring recommendations to the table.
Build the work. Social content, ad concepting, video scriptwriting. If it lives on a screen, we make it. Your ideas are the engine that power our production team of designers, videographers, and web developers, who then bring your vision to life on deadline and on budget.
Run the campaign. You'll help plan multi-channel advertising programs across CTV, pre-roll, display, social, and text, then manage them in flight. You'll run client calls and internal production meetings, manage approvals, track budgets and timelines, and pull the reporting that shows what moved.
Find the next thing. Advocacy changes fast. We hire the hardest-working people with the most positive attitudes and team-oriented mentalities. At Drive, we thrive in a culture of curiosity, which means we’re constantly trying new things, innovating, building, and growing together.
