Client Manager
Washington, DC
Got a big brain? Not afraid to use the left side of it AND the right side? Can you quote more than 3 lines from "Office Space?" Do you express fondness for your friends through biting sarcasm? Do you often start sentences with, "okay, this idea might be completely crazy, but...?"
You might just be our kind of person. Check out the positions below, and if you think there's a fit, submit a cover letter and resume to greatjobs@grassroots.com. In the subject line of your email, please include the title of the job to which you are applying. BUT...before you apply, you should know some things about Grassroots Enterprise:
- We are the best at what we do, and we expect the best from our employees.
- We are insistent at all times at pushing the envelope and breaking new ground when it comes to technology, communications, and building movements.
- We are extremely committed to our work, and passionate about what we do.
- We are a uniquely family-friendly company and understand that balance and flexibility leads to exceptional performance.
- In our spare time, we like to launch revolutions. If there's a cause that needs to be championed, we don't talk about it, we do it. At any given moment, nearly every employee is engaged in some kind of side cause about which they feel passionate.
- We are an extremely tolerant company, but that goes both ways. We are multipartisan, and we respect and represent views from both the right and the left.
- We do not require TPS reports or flair.
- We like each other. A lot. We're nice to each other (even if expressed through biting sarcasm), we care about each other, and we actually have a lot of fun together. And we want to keep it that way.
If you've read this far, and are still interested, you may really, really be our kind of person.
