Chartwell Agency is seeking a Communications Strategist to join its amazing team of professionals. As a Chartwellian, the chosen candidate will hit the ground running and develop, coordinate, and direct client initiatives with the firm’s trademark can-do attitude. This is a hybrid role that requires in-person meetings, so our ideal candidate should be within a reasonable driving distance of our office in Rockford, IL.

We’re looking for a positive, client-facing, strategic thinker who gets excited about jumping in and supporting a variety of marketing, communications, and branding projects. The right person will lead and assist client accounts and excel at building relationships, achieving results, and offering thoughtful counsel. In exchange, the ideal candidate will benefit from a supportive, collaborative, and creative team environment in which his/her skills will be valued and continuously expanded. Experience in areas including strategic planning, content strategy, social media, creative campaigns, ad buys (traditional and digital), and proactive media relations at a local, regional, and national level are a top priority. Strong writing capabilities for both short- and long-format copy is imperative.

The ideal candidate is a dynamic, high-energetic, and articulate individual capable of setting and delivering results while managing multiple projects and deadlines. Excellent written and verbal communication skills, detail oriented, and familiarity with print, web, and other digital mediums are a must. The Communications Strategist candidate should have 7+ years of experience. The salary ranges up to $65,000 – $70,000 + benefits.

We offer a competitive salary, a business casual work environment and excellent benefits. Additionally, working at Chartwell provides employees a flexible, result-only focused work environment which allows our employees the ability to manage their own schedules.
