[Hiring] Senior Associate, Digital @Bantam Communications

Role Description

Bantam Communications is seeking a Senior Associate, Digital to plan and run the digital side of our advanced energy project campaigns. Our campaigns reach the people who decide whether a project moves forward, whether that is residents and local officials in a single county or the state and federal policymakers who shape the conditions for building.

In this role, you will:

• Build digital plans, run and optimize paid campaigns across Meta, Google, and StackAdapt.
• Manage email campaigns and landing pages.
• Create and oversee organic content and community management.
• Present results and recommendations to clients.
• Build AI agents and workflows in Claude, including ad decks in Claude Design.

The role reports to the Director of Communications, with a dotted line to the Director of Technology & Innovation for AI workflows and platform work.

The ideal candidate already builds with AI in their day-to-day work and wants to keep pushing what it can do for campaigns. You can carry several campaigns at once, read performance data closely and act on it, and write clearly enough that a client can follow your recommendations and act on them. You thrive in a fast-moving, multi-client environment and take pride in getting details like targeting and disclaimers right, because in this work the details decide whether a campaign holds up.

• Ability to analyze campaign performance and present findings and recommendations clearly to clients.
• Experience building and managing email campaigns, including drip campaigns, and tracking open rates, click-through rates, and other engagement metrics.
• Experience creating organic content calendars and managing online communities, including comment moderation.
• Able to manage several concurrent campaigns independently in a remote environment, with proactive project-management hygiene.
• Bachelor's degree or equivalent practical experience.

Requirements

• Subject-matter familiarity with renewable energy, advanced energy policy, or federal, state, and local infrastructure permitting processes, particularly in the utility-scale development context.
• Experience on campaigns about energy, infrastructure, land use, or local government decisions, and familiarity with community engagement and organized opposition dynamics in rural communities.

• Experience buying programmatic display, connected TV, and digital out-of-home, through StackAdapt or similar DSP.
• Experience with platform issue-ad authorization and political ad disclosure rules.
• AI-assisted creative production including familiarity with platform disclosure rules for AI-generated content in political and issue ads.
• Experience with NapoleonCat or similar moderation tools, Speak4, and HeyOrca.
• Experience building and sending email & texting programs in a platform such as Action Network, EveryAction/NGP VAN, Mailchimp, or HubSpot.
