Share the power of Gallup research with the world.

At Gallup, we know more than anyone else about every subject across the globe — we are constantly researching what the world thinks. And the world listens.

As a communications strategist, you will work with a variety of public-sector clients in the nonprofit, government, corporate social impact and foundation landscapes. You will learn client organizations’ desired outcomes and create and package world-class communication offerings to provide the thought leadership they seek from Gallup. Your success in the role will be dependent on your network building, astute influencing, media connections, insightful data-driven storytelling, and artful orchestration of your own and others’ contributions to meet tight publishing deadlines.

Your communication talents will set the stage for changing how people think, how policies are created, and how governments, organizations and businesses are run. You will be responsible for media pitching, writing press releases, overseeing social media strategies and launch events, and aligning with clients on a strategic communication plan. You will be collaborating with world-class internal partners to deliver on our valued clients’ vision.

If your passion is media relations, strategic communications and public opinion research, we may have the perfect opportunity for you. Join us, and help us communicate data that changes the world.

Influential partners. You will identify the right contacts as you continually broaden your network and adeptly build rapport to make outreach effective. You’ll be persistent without being bothersome — a fine line you have mastered.

Savvy communicators. You only get one chance to make a first impression, and when it comes to promoting press releases and report launches, you know how to make the perfect splash. You’re polished yet edgy, sophisticated yet relatable — and the story you collaboratively craft from data stands out in a crowded field of articles.

Strategic thinkers. You soak up news and current affairs like a sponge, strategically identifying and aligning content with clients’ goals to advance hot topics. Your creative and critical thinking creates large-scale opportunities for our voice to be heard around the world.

Master orchestrators. Competing priorities and demanding timelines don’t phase you.
