Project Coordinator

About Ground

Ground is an advocacy and communications studio that develops, tests, and deploys research-backed campaigns designed to shift mindsets and drive measurable impact.

Our work combines Narrative Intelligence, campaign strategy, and real-world activation into a single connected system. Through our StoryHeat platform, we identify which narratives are most likely to move audiences before campaigns launch, then translate those insights into campaigns built to function in the real world.

We partner with advocacy organizations, foundations, public affairs campaigns, and mission-driven brands working on complex social, political, and cultural issues.

At Ground, storytelling is not treated as a creative output that ends in a piece of content. It is the foundation of campaigns designed to move people, shape perception, and drive action.

Position Description

Ground is hiring a Project Coordinator to support the operational systems that campaigns run through.

This role sits within the Operations team and works across Narrative Intelligence and Campaign Strategy to help keep projects organized, aligned, and moving forward. The role is responsible for maintaining workflows, supporting communication across teams and clients, tracking timelines, and ensuring that projects stay coordinated as work moves from research through execution.

This is not a traditional administrative role. The position is designed for someone who enjoys building structure, solving problems, and helping complex projects run smoothly across multiple teams and moving parts.

The ideal candidate is highly organized, detail-oriented, calm under pressure, and comfortable operating in fast-moving environments where priorities evolve quickly
