Job Summary:

The Granicus Experience Group (GXG) is our in-house digital agency, a cross-functional team of strategists, analysts, communicators and Granicus technology experts. We leverage best-in-class human-centered practices and a design-thinking approach to help our nonpartisan federal, state and local government clients better connect with the people they serve. We discover better insights, build better experiences, and achieve better outcomes.

GXG takes a consultative, collaborative approach to helping our clients maximize the value they get out of the Granicus platform and develop strategic, human-centered experiences that inform, educate and compel people to take action.

The opportunities to make a difference while developing strategies for the public sector are limitless. Your role will require you to create new ideas, work directly with our government clients to flesh out these ideas, and help bring these ideas to reality. Our projects are typically long-term engagements completed in collaboration with Granicus and client professionals.

Our digital strategists apply a human-centered approach to digital experience planning, using empathy, data and insights to design blueprints to nurture the connection between people and government. Our strategists analyze the current state of our clients’ customer experience, then map an idealized journey to meet our clients’ goals and inspire new approaches.

Our strategists execute discovery activities to understand our clients’ audiences and their overall goals. They conduct individual interviews, facilitate workshops, and review content or data to glean insights, then develop actionable plans for enhanced digital experiences, including personas, customer journeys, messaging frameworks and more. Our strategists collaborate closely with our content and data teams to evaluate the effectiveness of our plans over time.

Strong candidates will have a proven track record of developing digital strategies for clients, preferably for government. Candidates will have experience facilitating discovery sessions, analyzing data to inform strategies, and working on large-scale or program-level projects for clients. Candidates will be experts in email and social media communications, as well as community engagement and management. Candidates must have a desire to be part of a data-driven, client-focused, fast-paced team that loves the mission of improving the citizen experience and providing world-class service to government clients.

Projects range from assessing the effectiveness of a rural county’s digital communications initiative, to driving awareness-to-action of a state-wide social services initiative, to growing a large federal agency’s digital audience in a short timeframe, to managing the largest online community to advance national preparedness and resilience.
