Do you speak CMO and CEO?

Are you one of those people who sees patterns, generates ideas, knows how to lay out a vision and inspires others to head down the path with you? Are you jazzed by working with private markets companies to drive greater impact and ESG performance? And are you a dyed-in-the-wool communicator and marketer?

If so, meet Shelton Group, an ERM Group company. We are the nation’s leading marketing communications firm exclusively focused on sustainability. We work with Fortune 500 companies as well as the largest private markets investors in the world and their portfolio companies to help them realize a market advantage as a result of their commitments and actions on sustainability. We have a spot open for a Senior Account Director to help our private markets clients identify opportunities, overcome obstacles and properly position themselves as sustainability leaders and drive greater value at exit.
