JMO Communications is a dynamic strategic communications firm dedicated to helping mission-driven organizations, global health initiatives, and international development partners tell their stories and maximize their impact. We are looking for a high-level professional to join our team and serve as a strategic engine for our growth and operational excellence.

**Role Summary**

JMO Communications is seeking a highly organized, analytical, and research-driven **Project Management Associate**. This is not a traditional clerical or "data entry" position. We are looking for a professional with a deep administrative background who can serve as the backbone of our business development and project management operations. The ideal candidate does more than manage a calendar; they review complex situations, analyze needs, conduct thorough research, and provide high-level executive assistance to ensure our team and departments operate at peak efficiency.

**Key Responsibilities**

**Strategic Research & Business Development**

* **Target Identification:** Conduct extensive, methodology-driven research to identify potential B2B clients, stakeholders, and industry partners aligned with specific company projects.
* **Data Enrichment:** Go beyond basic contact lists. You will analyze recent company news, investigate key decision-makers’ professional backgrounds, and identify organizational pain points to help tailor our outreach.
* **Market Mapping:** Monitor industry trends and competitor activity, translating raw data into actionable insights for the Sales and Marketing teams.

**Executive & Administrative Assistance**

* **Situation Analysis:** Review incoming requests and project briefs to determine necessary next steps, identifying gaps in information before they become bottlenecks.
* **Departmental Support:** Provide comprehensive executive assistance to team members, ensuring project management workflows remain on track.
* **Information Management:** Create and maintain thorough documentation, research briefs, and reports that inform our strategic decision-making.

**Qualifications & Skills**

* **Experience:** 3–5 years of experience in a high-level administrative, executive assistant, or sales support role—specifically within a Sales or Marketing environment.
* **Research Prowess:** Proven ability to perform "deep dives" using specialized industry databases, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, and other intelligence tools.
* **Analytical Mindset:** You are able to look at a project or a potential client and "connect the dots" regarding their needs and our solutions.
* **Technical Proficiency:** Expert-level command of Google Workspace and Microsoft 365\. Proficiency with project management tools (e.g., Asana, ClickUp, or Monday.com) and CRM platforms is required.
* **Communication:** Exceptional writing skills with the ability to summarize complex research into concise executive briefings.

**Core Competencies**

* **Resourcefulness:** You are a self-starter who doesn't wait for a step-by-step manual. If you don’t have the answer, you know how to find it.
* **Attention to Detail:** You take pride in "complete and thorough" work, ensuring that no stone is left unturned in your research.
* **Discretion & Judgment:** As a support to the executive team, you handle sensitive information with the utmost professionalism.

**How to Apply**

Interested candidates are encouraged to submit their **resume** and a **cover letter** outlining their relevant experience, their specific approach to research, and why they are a strong fit for the mission of JMO Communications.
