Now Hiring - GMMB - Senior Account Executive - Global Health in Washington, DC

Are you up for a meaningful challenge? Do you aspire to use your creativity to drive social change?

Then come join our team of sharp, passionate, and (sometimes) quirky activists. In our 35+ years, we’ve helped elect presidents; fought for stricter regulations on tobacco, drunk driving, and carbon emissions; helped bring health coverage to all Americans; supported clients seeking to improve learning opportunities for all children from early education through higher education; supported clients to help improve health interventions like vaccines and clean water in the developing world; and brought people together to improve the lives of individuals, families, communities and nations.

Our mission: to create real and lasting change in the world. And between our D.C. home base and our Seattle and San Francisco offices, you’ll find all the know-how and drive to create advocacy campaigns that deliver real results.

We are issue experts, social and digital strategists, communications and advertising specialists, designers, writers, media planners, and multi-media producers.
