Working at the Chamber

Working at the Chamber offers the best of both worlds—the resources and stability of a mid-sized business, paired with the purpose-driven mission of a nonprofit. As a key player in the region's business community, the Chamber provides team members with access to a wide network of connections, professional development opportunities, and meaningful work that drives regional impact. With a team of about 65 employees, we're large enough to offer strong support and infrastructure, yet small enough to provide opportunities to lead, grow, and make your mark. We foster a fast-paced, collaborative environment and offer competitive compensation along with an outstanding benefits package.

The Chamber operates in a hybrid work environment that allows for a flexible schedule while requiring employees to work in-person at least two days per week. Exceptions to this schedule may be made based on departmental needs. When on-site, work is performed in a professional, deadline-driven office setting with regular interaction with Chamber colleagues, members, and investors.

This role involves extended periods of sitting at a desk, working on a computer, and speaking on the phone. Chamber colleagues are sometimes required to attend Chamber-hosted or partner events and meetings outside of regular business hours and outside of Center City Philadelphia.

Compensation

The salary range for this position is $60,000 - $75,000 annually, plus the opportunity to earn additional performance-based incentives.
