  • Build long-term, high-trust relationships with internal stakeholders, strategic partners, and vendors

Requirements

  • 5-8 years of experience as a Chief of Staff, Director of Communications or equivalent experience in a similar role
  • Communications and public affairs experience – either on the Hill, in a campaign setting or an agency environment

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
