Job Description

Job Description

Bully Pulpit International is an outcomes agency made up of strategists, data scientists, and artists. We come from politics, brands, and government and we communicate without barriers and measure what matters. We have more than 350 team members in six countries and thirteen offices — Berlin, Brussels, Chicago, D.C., London, Los Angeles, New York, Oslo, San Francisco, and Zürich. We apply our unique expertise across strategic communications, public affairs, research, and digital marketing to create sophisticated and customized strategies that make change possible for both American and European clients.

The Impact You Will Make

We are seeking an outcomes-driven Senior Director to join our Strategic Communications practice for a portfolio of high-stakes Technology clients. This is a leadership position for a proven professional who can operate at the intersection of business, politics, and public policy, combining strategic consulting rigor with the agility and urgency of a modern political campaign. This role reports to a Partner.

This role requires a unique fusion of deep strategic client counsel, effective team management, and new business development in the technology sector.

  • Location : Expectation to work from our San Francisco office at least 3x a week
  • Salary : $150,000 - $165,000

What Day to Day Looks Like

  • Strategic Client Leadership & Outcomes - You will serve as the senior strategic contributor to C-suite and executive leaders within the technology sector, guiding them through complex challenges related to corporate reputation, public affairs, and market positioning. You will independently run large and complex (multi-service) books of business, working across a variety of corporate and / or public affairs projects. You will oversee the execution of comprehensive, integrated communications campaigns—ensuring seamless coordination across policy intelligence, message development, earned / owned media, and digital / paid advocacy. You must anticipate and advise clients on emerging political, regulatory, and cultural shifts (e.g., AI governance, antitrust, social impact) that affect their brand and operations. You will be seen as an expert in your field by senior clients—a strategist, not just an account lead—and command original expertise within the technology vertical.
  • Client & Account Management – You will be responsible for driving the strategy, deepening the trust of your clients and supporting BPI’s Partners and Executive Leadership team on a variety of accounts. You will serve as the main point of contact and oversee the daily management, communication and execution of services for the client, which often include senior management or executive level decision-makers.
  • Team Management & Communication – You will be responsible for developing members on your team in their fields of expertise and building them to become the next leaders in the agency. You will coach and mentor your team’s performance and manage their quality of work to ensure they are efficient and effective in meeting client deliverables. You will work collaboratively and communicate with internal, cross office and cross department team members to ensure timelines and quality expectations for client deliverables are met.
  • New Business Efforts – You will work with agency partners and other senior leaders to develop and pitch new business opportunities. You are capable of managing the agency’s existing clients and establishing new client relationships. In support of new business opportunities, you are comfortable drafting proposals and producing materials for client pitches with minimal direction and oversight from agency Partners.
  • Requirements

    What You Bring

  • 10+ years of senior experience in strategic communications, public affairs, or a leadership role at an integrated agency or consulting firm
  • Deep and demonstrated expertise in advising executive-level clients within the Technology sector on high-stakes corporate reputation and policy challenges
  • Exceptional executive-level communication and presentation skills, with the ability to translate complex policy or technical details into compelling, high-impact narratives
  • Must be deeply knowledgeable about the current political, media, and cultural landscape, with experience running integrated campaigns (combining earned, owned, and paid media)
  • Operate with a high level of organization and precision—managing scopes, budgets, reporting, and team delivery with excellence, all while leading multiple workstreams simultaneously
  • Ability to mobilize fast-paced, highly collaborative, multi-disciplinary teams
  • Benefits

    BPI offers a wide range of benefits to U.S.-based employees, including 100% company-paid medical, dental, and vision insurance, a 401(k) program with employer match up to 4%, generous time off for vacation, $50 monthly phone reimbursement, unlimited sick time, and 16 weeks of paid leave for new parents . BPI’s benefits prioritize employee wellness and progressive support to our diverse workforce.

    We’re looking for all kinds of people.
