CCOP helps organisations develop and deliver meaningful purpose commitments and works with Fortune 500 companies and nonprofits. The Associate supports purpose-driven communications, sustainability initiatives, account management, research and strategic projects, combining strategic work with research, client account support, administration and ad hoc requests from senior team members. The posting does not state a salary.
What the role involves
The work includes account management, thought leadership research, administrative support, strategic recommendations and responding to ad hoc requests. The Associate must handle several priorities at once while keeping quality high, move between administrative and strategic tasks, and work virtually and independently. They are expected to take initiative, ask thoughtful questions, solve problems and raise concerns when they need support.
Requirements
Candidates need a bachelor's degree and at least three years of relevant professional experience. Experience is particularly valued in corporate social responsibility (CSR), environmental, social and governance (ESG) work, sustainability, corporate purpose, communications or corporate strategy. Strong writing skills and a good grasp of grammar and style are needed, and a foundation in communications and/or corporate strategy is required. Media relations experience is an advantage.
Who can apply
The agency wants a proactive, adaptable person who is curious, driven, willing to learn and comfortable receiving feedback. They should be able to manage their own schedule, meet deadlines, stay accountable for results, and handle relationships with senior professionals and sensitive matters with discretion. Because the role is remote, self-management and communication are essential. CCOP is an equal opportunity employer and encourages applications from historically underrepresented groups.
How to apply
Applications are made through the company's online application form. Applicants should show clearly their relevant experience in communications, sustainability, CSR, ESG, corporate purpose or strategy. The source text gives no deadline.
