WHY HATTAWAY?

We believe in passion, rigor, and imagination. Our passion is shown in our commitment to our clients and their causes, and in reaching the fullest potential in everything we do—always striving for the highest quality products and experiences for our clients, rather than just being “good enough.” Our rigor is demonstrated through the thoughtful, deliberate, and disciplined approach in all that we do, delivering on the promise of strategic communications that actually achieve meaningful impact—not just add to the noise. Imagination drives all of our work, because it lies at the heart of our creative problem-solving.

Hattaway Communications is committed to creating an equitable world, and we know that begins with creating an equitable workplace. We know bringing talented, diverse people together sharpens our insights, and helps us better serve our diverse clients. We recognize and value the experiences of everyone, including prospective hires whose cultural backgrounds and experiences give them unique perspectives, and who share our goal of creating a workplace and world that promotes creativity, innovation, and collaboration.

We are active listeners, supportive partners, and inclusive leaders. We create space for our employees and our partners to speak truth, authentically express themselves, and enjoy meaningful professional growth. We not only allow for difference but celebrate and dutifully defend it. 

Our employees come into the office a minimum of 2 days/week, including Wednesday and Thursday. Our hybrid approach is based on an intention to tap into the best of both worlds: the spontaneous conversations, deeper relationships, and efficient collaborations that come with working together, combined with substantial flexibility in how we each best use our time and build work into our lives. Our offices are located in downtown Washington,D.C., between the Dupont Circle and Farragut North metro stations. 

We offer competitive benefits including a flexible work environment, fully paid healthcare/vision/dental; retirement match; and 15 days of PTO in your first year, building after that. Additionally, the office is closed the week between Christmas and New Years, fully paid. On top of that, we have 11 federal holidays and three additional paid days off (days before and after Thanksgiving, and Christmas Eve). We also have a fantastic parental leave policy.  

The salary range for this position is $56,000 - $70,000, depending on experience.
