Stand Together is a philanthropic community that helps America’s boldest changemakers tackle the root causes of our country’s biggest problems, from education to the economy, broken communities, and toxic division, among dozens of other pressing issues. We provide our partners with access to resources including funding, thought leadership, a network of peers, and a playbook for applying proven principles to transform lives and society. 

We are seeking an experienced Executive Assistant to serve as a trusted partner to senior leaders on our Marketing and Communications team. Reporting to the Chief Communications Officer, this role provides strategic support to the Chief Communications Officer, Editor in Chief, and the VP of Communications. More than executive support, this role helps leaders maximize their contribution through sound judgment, anticipation, and effective decision-making. The ideal candidate is highly discreet, eager to learn, and energized by finding better ways to create value.

The Marketing and Communications team partners across the organization to advance our vision through brand strategy, storytelling, and communications that engage audiences with our principles and point of view. Because communications work often requires rapid response and support during crisis situations, this role plays a critical part in helping leaders navigate high-priority time-sensitive moments, including occasional evenings and weekends.

Success in this role requires initiative, the ability to anticipate needs, strong follow-through, and a customer-focused mindset. You will steward priorities, relationships, and information across multiple leaders, proactively remove barriers, and help teams achieve better results through trusted partnerships, collaboration, and continual improvement.

The role will be based in-person in the Ballston, VA office.  

Our Values: Working for an organization within the Stand Together philanthropic community is different from many other places. The culture is deeply rooted in Principle Based Management® (PBM®), a framework guided by the principles that drive human progress, such as dignity, openness, and bottom-up empowerment. PBM® empowers employees to be entrepreneurial, to innovate, and to continually drive transformation.   

 

We believe diversity fuels creativity, broadens knowledge, and helps drive success.  That is why we’re proud to be an Equal Opportunity Employer and strive to treat all employees and applicants with honesty, dignity, and respect.
