  • Help track KPIs, milestones, and progress on special projects by maintaining project trackers, updating dashboards, and preparing performance or status reports for leadership or stakeholders
  • Act as a point of coordination between teams by organizing meetings, taking notes, facilitating follow-ups, and ensuring alignment on goals, deadlines, and priorities across moving parts

Duties

  • Build strong problem-solving, project management, research, and communication skills
  • Gain exposure to multiple departments, leadership priorities, and high-impact business initiatives
  • Work in a fast-paced, detail-oriented environment and adapt to changing tasks or priorities as needed
  • Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree preferred, but not required
  • Passion for Republican politics
  • Background in marketing or advertising preferred, but not required
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills
  • Proficient knowledge of Microsoft Excel and / or Google Sheets
  • Ability to manage multiple task deadlines
  • Organized, flexible, and able to work both independently and with the team
  • The type of person who thrives at Direct Persuasion

  • Self-starter
  • Adaptable
  • Organized
  • Enthusiastic
  • Competitive
  • Learner
  • Responsible
  • Ambitious
