Description
Blue Wave Political Partners, a political fundraising, compliance, and digital consulting firm based in Washington, DC, is seeking a Client Manager to join our company based in the DC office. This is a great opportunity for those wishing to gain experience in progressive political campaigns, work for candidates that will make real change, and build a professional network.
The scope of work includes working as a client lead for medium to large federal and state level PACs and campaigns, including communicating with candidates and staff, and managing the finance plan, event program, email program, and call time program.
We believe that political campaigns have traditionally excluded many of those that are the most marginalized in society, including BIPOC, women, LGBTQ people, and people who have faced historical and structural barriers. Because we believe that these communities should be centered in the work we do, we strongly encourage applications from people with these identities or who are members of other marginalized communities.
