SUMMARY

We're looking for an experienced Associate Vice President with economic development and/or public interest experience to lead client relationships and drive marketing programs that create measurable business impact.

This is an ideal role for an integrated marketer who thrives in complexity. You'll serve as the strategic and operational lead across a curated portfolio of client accounts with a specific emphasis on economic development and public interest, partnering with cross-functional teams to deliver exceptional work while building trusted client relationships.

Many of our clients operate in highly nuanced industries, including economic development, public sector, tourism, and public interest initiatives. Success in this role requires someone who can quickly understand complex subject matter, distill it into clear strategic recommendations, and help clients navigate challenging business opportunities.

This is a hybrid work from home/office position (in-office attendance is required on Tuesdays & Thursdays) and the candidate must live near Columbus, OH. 

At The Shipyard, we know that it's your unique talents, backgrounds, and perspectives that make you who you are, just like our team, who come from various career paths and experiences. We believe we can't be truly diverse without bringing your most authentic self to the agency.  

Studies show that people from marginalized communities may not always apply for positions if they don't meet every single requirement in a job posting. At The Shipyard, we encourage you to apply even if you don't meet all the requirements. We believe that your passion for what we stand for - our values and purpose - is just as important as meeting every checkbox.
