Well-organized and detail-oriented. You might even feel that’s an understatement.
Someone with a to-do list. You take on tasks, identify the important details, prioritize and get them by deadline.
Team-driven. You value working with a team over working solo and know that a client’s success is attributed to the team, and you’re always willing to help teammates when necessary.
Open to learning. You take critical feedback and apply it to help better your role, your client’s success and your impact at work.
Proactive. You jump in to assist when opportunities present and don’t fear speaking up if you see something off.
Location: You must live in Austin at the time of internship application. While we operate on a hybrid office model, this temporary position requires in-person team collaboration and client events.

Autonomy with results: We respect everyone’s time, own our work and are solution-driven.
Stop. Collaborate and Listen: We are dependable and work toward a common goal with integrity.

Have Perspective: Our attitudes reflect the work we do. We take the work seriously, but we aren’t curing cancer!
Our belief: We dedicate our time, talent and reach to amplify voices. Beyond our portfolio of client work, we also champion causes that speak to our core values. As a company we believe feminism is for everyone, Black lives matter, LGBTQIA Rights are Human Rights, Mental Health is important, no one should go hungry, and everyone should have equal access to vote. If you feel the same, this is the right place for you.
