Job description

Description

Do you have a passion for building brands, positioning executives, and managing issues?


Invariant seeks a Director to join our growing Executive Engagement team. You'll work with a diverse and energetic team of experts, driving impact for clients as part of Strategic Communications & Public Affairs.


Our clients range from well-known Fortune 500 companies to the most disruptive start-ups in the country. We help our clients solve complex challenges, create opportunities for growth, and break through busy news cycles, long social media feeds, and hectic calendars, to influence audiences that matter most.  Our Executive Engagement team strategically advises clients on where and how to engage with the right audiences.   We create bespoke solutions and shape engagements for our clients.


This role is designed for a strategic operator who can move seamlessly between client advisory, relationship management, and execution. The ideal candidate is equally comfortable building an engagement strategy for a Fortune 500 executive, curating a high-level salon dinner, managing complex stakeholder outreach, and leading day-to-day client coordination.


The Director will play a key role in scaling and operationalizing a rapidly growing practice focused on influence strategy, executive engagement, thought leadership, and curated relationship-building opportunities.


Invariant is a different kind of firm. We look at communications, public affairs, government relations, and business strategy holistically. You will do challenging, impactful work here. If that sounds interesting to you, come join us.


What you'll do

  • Lead integrated client teams across executive engagement and public affairs initiatives, serving as the strategic lead responsible for seamless execution and measurable outcomes.
  • Develop and execute high-impact engagement strategies, including salons, roundtables, conference activations, and stakeholder convenings that elevate client visibility and strengthen strategic relationships.
  • Leverage and continue building a strong cross-sector network across government, media, industry, nonprofit, investor, and cultural communities to drive strategic outreach, stakeholder engagement, and high-value relationship development on behalf of clients.
  • Mentor and develop junior team members while overseeing multiple fast-moving workstreams, complex logistics, and high-profile client deliverables.
  • Collaborate across teams to develop strategic recommendations, pitch materials, briefing documents, presentations, and other client-facing deliverables that support practice growth and client success.

Who you are

  • 8+ years of strategic communications experience, with demonstrated expertise in policy-driven sectors. Agency experience preferred.
  • A strategic thinker and creative problem-solver who sees around corners, anticipates client needs, and brings innovative approaches to traditional challenges.
  • Digitally native and platform-savvy, with proven success developing integrated strategies that leverage new media, social platforms, and emerging channels to reach and influence target audiences.
  • AI-proficient and forward-thinking about how emerging tools can enhance research, analysis, content creation, and client service delivery.
  • An exceptional writer and editor who can move seamlessly between executive memos, media pitches, thought leadership content, and social media.
  • A relationship builder with strong existing networks across media, policy, and technology communities.
  • Comfortable in complexity, thriving in fast-paced, high-pressure environments where you're managing multiple clients, tight deadlines, and evolving priorities.
  • A natural leader who can manage both up and down, providing clear direction to junior staff while earning trust with senior clients and firm leadership.
  • Entrepreneurial and growth-minded, eager to contribute to business development, shape the firm's offerings, and help us continue our trajectory from startup to industry leader.
  • Proficient in use of digital software and technology, including databases such as Cision and Meltwater, Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.

The target salary range for this role is $175,000-200,000 USD annually. The base salary will be determined based on skills, experience, and market data.


In addition, our total rewards package includes an annual discretionary bonus based on individual performance and that of the firm; commissions; robust medical, dental, and vision plans with employer HSA contributions; generous retirement matching; educational assistance; professional development assistance; unlimited time off; and other benefits.


Invariant is committed to creating a diverse culture and is proud to be an equal opportunity employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, national origin, genetics, disability, age, or veteran status.
