🏢 About Bantamcommunications
Bantam Communications is a mission-driven agency specializing in advocacy campaigns for advanced energy deployment. They combine strategic communications with grassroots organizing to shape public policy and accelerate the transition to clean energy. Working here means being at the intersection of renewable energy, politics, and communications, with a focus on tangible impact.
About This Role
As Campaign Associate, you will be the operational backbone of advocacy campaigns, coordinating across teams to execute day-to-day activities. You'll work directly with the Campaign Manager to ensure timely delivery of materials, manage client communications, and support efforts to influence public conversation around advanced energy. This role offers hands-on experience in campaign strategy and issue advocacy in a fast-paced, remote environment.

You'll draft talking points for a stakeholder meeting, review digital ad copy for quality assurance, and wrap up by updating the team on deliverables. The day is a mix of writing, collaboration, and operational tasks to keep campaigns on track.

📝 Tips for Applying to Bantamcommunications
Tailor your resume to highlight any experience in campaign coordination, advocacy, or project management, even if from volunteer or academic settings.
In your cover letter, explicitly connect your passion for advanced energy to Bantam's mission and mention specific campaigns or issues you follow.
If possible, include a writing sample (e.g., a memo, social media post, or op-ed) that demonstrates your ability to communicate persuasively on energy or policy topics.
Research Bantam's recent campaigns (e.g., on their website or LinkedIn) and reference one in your application to show genuine interest.
Since the role is remote, emphasize your ability to work independently, communicate asynchronously, and use project management tools (e.g., Asana, Trello).
✉️ What to Emphasize in Your Cover Letter
