Job Description

Overview

A fast-paced and successful government affairs firm, located a few blocks from the White House, seeks a professional for a Manager of Government Relations and Grant Services position. Our boutique firm is passionate about achieving results for our mission-driven, private and public non-profit clients (hospitals, universities, social service organizations and municipal governments) and we are looking for the right person to fit into our dedicated team. This is an important role in the firm and presents a unique opportunity for an experienced Washington professional to “hit the ground running” and have a significant impact on a daily basis.

Responsibilities

Working within a team of professionals, the Manager will address and manage client needs, which primarily include: client project management; client and team leadership; identifying a client’s needs and potential federal solutions; assisting clients in project and funding proposal development; identifying and analyzing a full range of potential federal grant opportunities; conducting and leading regular conference calls with clients; regularly communicating with clients; writing competitive grants; drafting legislative language; meeting with and lobbying congressional offices and federal program officers; and, achieving results for our clients. Duties will also include participating in client visits, board presentations, crafting reports and new business proposals. While this is an in-office position, there are flexible work from home days provided to the team.

Qualifications

The candidate for the Manager position requires an established track record of success, a professional attitude and communication style, natural leadership skills, individual initiative, an honest, ethical, and earnest disposition, superb writing and verbal communication abilities, and an excellent work ethic. Experience in lobbying and competitive grant writing, including familiarity with the federal grants process, as well as the congressionally directed spending (earmark) process, is strongly desired. This is a mid to senior level position. Qualified applicants will possess:

  • Approximately 3-5 years of experience with client service or constituent service, supporting client or constituent needs and engaging in the federal process.
  • Experience on Capitol Hill and/or within the Executive Branch and/or in a government relations firm.
  • A demonstrated track record of success in client service or constituent service.
  • Ability to distill complex concepts into understandable explanations.
  • Excellent writing and verbal communication abilities, and an attention to detail that makes a big difference.
  • BA and/or B.S. degree is required. An advanced degree is preferred.
  • United States citizenship and English as the first language is required.

The desired candidate

This person is on a mission to make a difference in this world. This person has the experience to take their career to the next level in Washington, and they possess the writing, speaking, leadership and strategic thinking skills to do just that, but perhaps have not had the right opportunity. This person is professional, humble, smart, self-aware, and a quick learner with a great personality that colleagues and clients enjoy. This person thrives on processes and complex assignments, and tackles them with intelligence and gusto. This person is enthusiastic about getting the job done correctly and can demonstrate this from previous successes. This person can be a good, confident contributor to a successful team for years to come.
