For nearly 30 years, we’ve helped businesses, nonprofits, schools, and government agencies navigate change, grow impact, and tell stories that matter.
We’re looking for a Communications Project Manager — a thinker and hands-on doer who thrives at the intersection of creativity, data, and culture. You’ll partner with leaders, manage client relationships, and shape campaigns that make a difference in Hawai‘i and beyond.
What You’ll Do
- Lead & Serve Clients: Be the trusted advisor who builds strong client relationships and leads project teams to deliver outstanding results.
- Create & Elevate Content: Oversee the quality of storytelling across channels — digital, social, print, video, PR — and ensure content inspires, informs, and influences.
- Guide Media Relations: Manage press and community relations, with a focus on Hawai‘i media and storytelling grounded in local culture.
- Drive Projects Forward: Keep timelines, budgets, and partners aligned so every campaign meets its goals and exceeds expectations.
What You Bring

- 5+ years of progressive experience in communications, PR, or marketing (agency experience a plus).
- Media relations experience (especially in Hawai‘i) is essential.
- Crisis communications expertise or APR accreditation is a bonus.
- Exceptional writing and editing — from press releases to social captions.
- Digital native: fluent across social platforms and project tools (Asana, Workamajig, etc.).
- Strong organizational and leadership skills.
- A mix of entrepreneurial drive, cultural fluency, and collaborative spirit.
- Deep appreciation for Hawai‘i’s history, people, and marketplace.
Extra Points If You Have
- Media training or marketing experience.
- Background in brand strategy, video scripting, or ad copywriting.
- Fluency in another language (Japanese or Mandarin a plus).
- Industry experience in education, financial services, healthcare, retail, energy, or hospitality.
