Join a winning team

Impact Communications is always looking for talented individuals to join our all-star team.

Let's talk if you...

• Are tired of the corporate rat race
• Want more autonomy and flexibility in your daily life
• Enjoy contributing and doing meaningful work
• Are a self-starter
• Hate gossip and office politics
• Follow the Golden Rule
• Want to be treated with respect
• Appreciate a good balance of heart and mind​

​Impact Communications, Inc. is a privately-held, family-owned business.
But at Impact Communications, family is more than bloodlines. It’s the culture we live.

Here are just a few of the things that make us special:

1. We truly enjoy our daily conversations, share stories, celebrate wins and, occasionally, commiserate over losses.
2. We use Skype Instant Messenger and Video Chat services to brainstorm, problem solve for our clients, provide what we call "teamly" support, and generate ideas.
3. We give people the flexibility to care for their family and personal health, the freedom to work from wherever they need to be, some leeway on dress, self-expression, authenticity, and even embrace the occasional use of colorful language.
4. One of our mottos is "family first." But when we are working we are "dedicated, discerning, and driven."Our founder's personal mission statement includes the phrase "bright spirits, nurtured, empowered by leadership, love, and commitment."
5. We were virtual before virtual was cool. Not only has that totally worked for us, but we have continually enjoyed a competitive advantage thanks to our nimble, scrappy team and their can-do spirit.

​
So if you think you'd fit in, please see the openings below. We’re always looking for smart, talented family members.

Currently we are seeking ... PR-focused relationship managers who want a great gig, not a boring job

Impact Communications will need ongoing account support, administration, and PR execution for a term of 6 months or more, for a series of new clients slated to begin retainer plans with us. You can set your own hours, for the most part, and work from wherever -- as long as the client and the head boss lady, Marie Swift, is happy. Let's discuss part-time hours and/or a full-time commitment and, more importantly, how you can over time work your way into a permanent partner role with the firm.

Scope of work includes:  

• Schedule and lead regular meetings with the client (either monthly or 2xMo. depending on the retainer level) that will last anywhere from 30 mins to 1 hour
• Draft meeting agendas and email prior to each meeting
• Draft recap notes and send to the client within 24 hours post-meeting
• Draft press releases and actively pitch media outlets (our Media Director will deploy for you using our subscriptions to Agility and/or PR Newswire - she also does all the metrics and reporting)
• Research and coordinate speaking opportunities
• Field a continual stream of media opportunities that our Media Search Team turns up and serve them up to the client, proof and submit their responses with email or the platforms we use to submit comments
• Clip all published press hits and manage an excel sheet of confirmed and pending media
• Write "news summaries" for the client's website and submit to the webmaster
• Write "social media blurbs" for the client's use and submit to the client and/or execute on Hootsuite
• Coordinate with our pool of writers and multi-media producers the creation of articles, white papers, books, infographics, podcasts, videos, webinars
• Sit in on Media Training modules led by an Impact Media Director
• Help the client prepare for interviews, sit in on the interviews, report to other stakeholders at Impact, follow up with the journalist, manage any issues that might arise
• Schedule regular calls with one of Impact's partners/owners to discuss how it's going

Here's what's in it for you:

• Friendly, helpful team of talented professionals who work smart to create happy clients
• Meaningful, interesting work - never a dull moment
• Set your own hours within reason based on the client's needs and requirements
• Remote work environment (we'll orient you to our digital communications system and you'll love how easy it is to work from wherever you want and need to be)
• Perfect for self-starters and people who hate being micro-managed and petty office politics
• Revenue share and/or hourly and/or project-based compensation on a 1099 basis - let's talk discuss the right formula to get you started and proving value
• W2 opportunities with benefits could be possible down the road
• Opportunity to become a partner after 3 years of continued ongoing good work and affable work-effort

Let's talk!
