Longwell Partners is a full-service, pro-democracy communications firm in Washington, DC that specializes in high-profile political advocacy campaigns. We are seeking a Communications Associate to join our team and provide critical communications support, and be a project manager. Candidate must be excited to work in a fast-paced, demanding environment. Some of our major projects include the Republican Accountability Project, Republican Voters Against Trump, and The Bulwark.
In this role, you’ll have the chance to work with many of the movers and shakers in Washington, and have a hand in defining the key conversations happening in America today. You’ll be a great fit here if you’re self-driven, if you’re invested in American politics, if you tend to feel that the right answers to today’s pressing issues are not just on the left or right but somewhere in the middle, and if you’re not satisfied doing the same thing every day (because we promise, that’s not how we work around here!)

We are looking for someone who is comfortable being on the phone, energetic when speaking with reporters, and will maintain a high level of confidentiality with respect to all internal matters.
