๐Ÿข About Glen Price Group (GPG)

Glen Price Group (GPG) stands out as a mission-driven consulting firm that partners with nonprofits, public agencies, and foundations to drive social impact. Their collaborative, virtual-first culture emphasizes results-oriented work while fostering professional growth and work-life balance.

About This Role

As an Associate, you'll play a key role in supporting client engagementsโ€”from designing and facilitating meetings to creating high-quality deliverables like reports and proposals. This role offers hands-on experience in strategic planning, policy analysis, and project coordination, directly contributing to meaningful change.

๐Ÿ’ก A Day in the Life

Your day might start with a team check-in via Zoom, followed by drafting a client meeting agenda in Google Docs.

Later, you might join a client call to take notes and support facilitation.

  • A proactive collaborator who thrives in a remote, virtual team environment and can build rapport with colleagues and clients across time zones.
  • An organized multitasker with strong task management skills, capable of juggling multiple projects with competing deadlines while maintaining attention to detail.
  • A clear communicator with excellent writing and verbal skills, able to synthesize complex data into concise, actionable insights for reports and client presentations.
  • Tech-savvy with proficiency in Google Workspace (Docs, Sheets, Slides), Microsoft Office Suite, and Zoom; familiarity with virtual facilitation tools like Miro or Slack is a plus.
