Head of Project Management

LINK Public Affairs is growing, and we’re looking for a sharp, organized Project Manager to grow with us. This is a true launchpad role: you’ll sit at the center of large and exciting public affairs campaigns; learning how winning public affairs campaigns come together from the inside. Project Managers who excel here build the exact skill set to advance and grow within the company. We love to promote from within!

The Project Manager supports leadership by owning the administrative, tracking, and coordination work that keeps campaigns and client projects running smoothly. You’ll touch everything: creative, digital, video, production, data, and proposals. If you want broad exposure to agency and campaign work early in your career, this is the seat to be in.

What You’ll Do

Compile internal status updates from design, digital, video, and production teams

Draft internal-facing versions of weekly and bi-weekly status reports for leadership’s review, editing, and final approval before anything goes to a client

Update report formatting and links per leadership’s specifications

Maintain and update project tracking software and internal trackers across accounts

Track open items, deadlines, and follow-ups across accounts, exercising judgment to flag priority or time-sensitive items to leadership without being asked

Set up new projects in project tracking software and internal systems

Pull data and audience counts from internal targeting and data platforms as requested

Help route and organize rounds of internal edits between the design team and leadership

Distribute approved assets internally to the production and digital teams, and to outside vendors such as printers

Gather and organize client assets during onboarding (logos, brand guidelines, messaging documents, etc.)

Pull pricing from internal teams and vendors to support proposal development

Format and assemble proposal documents per leadership’s direction

Schedule internal meetings and send agendas

Take and share detailed notes on internal calls

Follow up with internal teams on outstanding action items after calls

Manage shifting priorities across multiple active accounts at once, especially during high-volume periods

What We’re Looking For

0 to 2 years of experience in an administrative, coordination, or project support role, ideally in an agency, campaign, or client services environment

Highly organized with strong attention to detail and the ability to manage multiple accounts and deadlines at once

Proficiency with Microsoft Office and Google Workspace, plus comfort learning new software platforms (project tracking tools, data platforms, etc.)

Strong written communication skills

Team player who can take direction well, work across multiple Project Managers, and adapt as priorities shift

Nice to Have (Not Required)

Experience with project management or CRM software

Familiarity with digital advertising, direct mail, or political campaign operations

Experience supporting proposal development or client reporting

Compensation and Growth

Salary range: $50,000 to $60,000, with higher compensation available for candidates who bring relevant experience

Clear path for advancement: this role is designed to develop into project management and account leadership as you grow

Hands-on mentorship from senior team members and direct exposure to client work from day one
