About Groundwork Collaborative
Launched in 2018, Groundwork Collaborative is driven by the idea that We Are The Economy: when all of us are doing well, that is when our economy thrives. We fight for progressive economic policy and narrative change that builds accountable public power, breaks up concentrations of private power, and affirmatively centers people too long left out of prosperity. We understand that taken together, these actions will lead to a stronger and more resilient economy.
Groundwork’s unique structure – part strategic communications, part think tank, and part issue advocacy organization – allows us to drive narrative and policy change with credibility, expertise, and impact. We work across four core audiences – the media, policymakers, economic experts, and grasstops leaders – and use targeted policy campaigns and timely research and messaging to advance a truly inclusive economic worldview.
Groundwork’s impact has grown considerably in recent years with the launch of several ambitious new initiatives including our Economic Speakers Bureau , designed to diversify the expert commentators who talk about the economy in the news. Groundwork seeks a Chief of Communications to serve as a senior leader and chief strategist for Groundwork’s mission to advance new stories about the economy and who it works for.
The Chief of Communications will be a member of the senior leadership team of Groundwork working intersectionally to help the organization achieve our mission, develop our organizational strategy and priorities, and execute our core programmatic work to achieve maximum impact. They will manage a high-performing Communications team serving the core communications functions at Groundwork, including media relations, narrative strategies, and the Economic Speakers Bureau.
