Reingold, a leading Washington metropolitan consulting firm, offers an outstanding opportunity for an entry-level communications professional to assist in the development of cutting-edge social marketing, public relations, and advertising campaigns. Prestige clients include associations, educational institutions, government agencies, corporations, and nonprofit organizations.

We’re looking for the usual things: intelligence, creativity, experience, management acumen, rave reviews, and someone who can write like the Dickens! But we’re also looking for much more: entrepreneurial initiative, balance, willingness to work and think hard, commitment to the team, practical perfectionism, a sense of humor, discipline, and eagerness to chart unfamiliar territory. Our work involves the full range of organizational development services, including creative planning, new program/product research, writing, and managing client communications, promotions, and public relations, establishing and maintaining relationships.

This position demands a versatile self-starter with a strong intellect and initiative, total reliability, and top-flight communication skills. Writing talent is absolutely essential. The successful candidate will have knowledge of market research, social media and media relations,
and communications planning. A bachelor’s degree required, and two to five years’ experience in media relations, public relations, or a related field essential. It’s an ideal position for candidates with several related internship experiences. We offer creative freedom, a supportive work environment, and challenging client assignments.
Salary is commensurate with experience.

Please email resume, cover letter, and two communications writing samples to hr@reingold.com or fax to 703.299.2424. No phone calls.
