Job Description

Job Description

Position Overview

The Golden Triangle Business Improvement District (BID) is an award-winning nonprofit 501(c)6 corporation that works to enhance the Golden Triangle-a 44-block radius that stretches from Washington, DC's Dupont Circle to Pennsylvania Avenue. The BID is home to the commercial offices of major businesses and nonprofits, and some of D.C.’s best restaurants, retailers, hotels, and National Park Service parks. It borders major attractions including the White House, National Geographic, and George Washington University.

While the BID has long been known for its “Gold Standard” attention to cleanliness and detail throughout the neighborhood as well as its award-winning Safety and Security Program, in recent years, it has gained international recognition for its development of the Golden Triangle as a destination for design and culture. Award-winning public art projects, public spaces activations, environmental conversions of bio-retention landscaping, park design, and visual transformation of the Connecticut Avenue and 19th Street streetscapes have made the Golden Triangle a highly desirable destination for commercial offices, retail, and visitors.

This is the job for you if you love being outside in the heart of the city, working with our great members and collaborating with our team to improve downtown spaces. You will work with a wide range of people to make our neighborhood the best it can be. You will bring tenacity, an ability to talk to anybody, and a positive can-do attitude.
