Through collaborative problem-solving and practical innovation, PLEJ helps build more resilient, efficient, and voter-focused election systems that improve the experience and confidence of millions of Americans.

Position Summary
The Senior External Communications Lead (SECL) supports and operationalizes PLEJ’s external communications, media engagement, organizational messaging, and public relations strategy. Reporting to the Senior Director of Communications and Digital Engagement, this role helps ensure that PLEJ’s communications function is disciplined, responsive, well-coordinated, and aligned with organizational priorities.
This position is designed for an experienced communications professional with strong public relations, organizational communications, and media relations experience. The person in this role does not need to have worked in a newsroom, but must understand how reporters operate, how stories develop, and how to build credible relationships with media, partners, and public audiences.
The SECL serves as a day-to-day communications manager and execution lead—helping translate strategy into action, manage communications consultants and vendors, prepare materials for public and partner engagement, support reporter outreach and pitching, and ensure high-quality communications outputs across the organization.
This role is especially important as PLEJ grows its national presence, strengthens its institutional voice, and supports local election officials as credible, trusted experts in a complex and fast-moving information environment.
