Band Together Communications is looking for our first full-time Account Manager to join our team.

Let Us Introduce Ourselves

Band Together is an independent communications shop with a singular goal: to help mission-based organizations tell their story. We started quietly two years ago and officially launched in January 2025. We’re unapologetic generalists with a passion for leveraging communications to advance our clients’ strategies. From speech writing to media relations, messaging development to public awareness campaigns - we are strategic partners, creative muscle, ghostwriters, extra hands, and cheerleaders. 

What You’ll Do

As an Account Manager, you will:

• Write - You will write…a lot! Whether it’s social media content, press materials, first drafts of messaging documents, or analysis of existing messaging - we’ll be relying on your brain,  your creativity, and your pen (or keyboard).

• Design - You will act as our informal graphic designer, leveraging online resources such as Canva or AI design tools to create simple social content on behalf of clients and provide a consistent look and feel on presentations, fact sheets, and other key documents. 

• Project Manage - You will pitch in wherever extra hands are needed and help keep the trains running on time - that means building agendas, developing and maintaining project timelines, taking notes, scheduling calls, and sending those friendly nudges if team members aren’t hitting their deadlines. 

• Research - You will be our eyes and ears, from conducting peer research, to finding and sharing compelling examples of storytelling, and everything in between.

• Publicize - You will get the opportunity to help our clients tell their story with press, supporting the entire process from building media lists, to writing pitches, conducting outreach to reporters, coordinating interviews, and building coverage reports.

If You Were Here Right Now, You Would Be: 

Creating Content (40%)

• Editing stories describing the impact of a client working in criminal justice reform and creating a simple layout for them in Canva.

• Refining website copy on behalf of a client who works in veterans health.

Project Managing (30%)

• Developing and maintaining project timelines, and coordinating with team members on their assignments, such as setting up systems to track multiple streams of work for a client working in early education. 

• Supporting scheduling for the team.

• Planning agendas, taking notes, and circulating next steps following client calls.

Conducting Research (20%)

• Conducting research on media buying opportunities to support a world-class park and landmark.

Supporting PR Efforts (10%)

• Drafting talking points for an upcoming national radio interview for a CEO.

• Building media lists, tracking media coverage for clients, and compiling weekly and monthly reports.

We’re Looking For:

A jack or jill of all trades, a Swiss army knife, a communications rockstar, a utility player, someone who says, “put me in coach,” and someone who won’t judge us for using mixed metaphors. We appreciate your GPA, but value your experience waiting tables or volunteering in the community just as much. 

Want to join the band (sorry, couldn’t help ourselves)? Apply if this sounds like you:

• You have 3-6 years of experience in communications or a similar role for impact-driven organizations - that could be a nonprofit, advocacy group, public relations firm, political campaign, or a company that cares about doing the right thing.

• You’re an excellent writer who enjoys the writing process with experience translating complex ideas into concise and easily understood content.

• You like exploring digital tools (such as Canva or Bluesky) and have experience developing creative assets.

• You take a proactive approach to getting work done and have experience tracking multiple projects and priorities.

• You have strong verbal communication skills, and you have experience contributing to calls and meetings.

• You sweat the details - you dot every i, cross every t, and focus on accuracy and excellence.

• You want to do work that makes a mark in the community.

What Else Should You Know

The Account Manager is a full-time, remote position. Band Together considers multiple factors, including regional cost of living along with skills, experience, and industry standards, when determining compensation offers.

The Center for Early Learning Funding Equity

Date Posted: 1/20/2025

Who We Are 

The Center for Early Learning Funding Equity (CELFE) supports states’ and municipalities’  initiatives to strengthen their funding structure and strategies for Early Childhood Education and  Care programs for children ages 0-5. At the same time, we conduct and communicate research  and data analysis findings to broad audiences in an effort to improve early care and education  opportunities for all children. 

CELFE draws on decades of expertise in government leadership, program practice, research, and advocacy to partner with public agencies to develop and implement ambitious systems-change initiatives. Based at Northern Illinois University, CELFE’s diverse, nine-person staff advises states and municipalities on funding adequacy and equity issues. CELFE seeks to expand the Center’s scope and impact to reach all states and municipalities pursuing transformation.  

CELFE is led by two prominent early education leaders who integrate their sophisticated grasp of national, state, and local early childhood systems with data and research, while always  prioritizing the needs of children and families. Director Theresa Hawley, Ph.D., spent nearly 30 years as a researcher, practitioner, advocate, and government leader to improve early childhood education and care policies. Hawley was the driving force behind Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker’s  Commission to overhaul Illinois’ early childhood system, while serving as the state’s First  Assistant Deputy Governor for Education, and was the primary architect of the state’s Quality  Rating and Improvement System for child care under Governor Pat Quinn. She also developed  and oversaw the Educare learning center in West Chicago, Illinois. Deputy Director Sessy  Nyman also brings 30 years of experience in state and national legislative affairs, advocacy, and  community systems-infrastructure design and implementation for early childhood education and  care systems. Nyman also was a member of the leadership team at the Illinois Department of  Human Services, and with Hawley, helped design the state’s COVID-19 relief strategies for the  child care workforce. 

The Opportunity 

Established in 2021, CELFE today has a nine-person staff, but continues to build internal  capacity to meet growing nationwide demand for its services.

The Communications Manager would help CELFE hone its messaging and showcase its expertise and impact, with the aim of securing greater philanthropic funding to support research  initiatives and the development of data tools. The successful candidate will have an exciting  opportunity to expand CELFE’s impact on policy across the early childhood field.  

Expectations of the Communications Manager position:
