Fisher Investments
Portland, Dallas, San Francisco, London
The Opportunity:
The Content Group produces a wide range of materials to support the firm’s global client service, marketing and sales efforts. These materials include written materials (articles, custom presentations and brochures), talking points, website content, multimedia content and more. The International Content Team specializes in supporting the firm’s non-US client service, marketing and sales groups.
As an International Content Associate, you will have the opportunity to create and update the written materials and talking points our sales and client service personnel use on a daily basis to provide unparalleled service and continuous education to prospective and existing clients.
In this role, you will collaborate directly and regularly with members of our sales, service and marketing organizations. You will build your knowledge of capital markets, refine your writing skills, learn and work with graphic design programs such as Adobe Illustrator and InDesign, and help curate materials for clients.
The Day-to-Day:
Own projects for creating new materials from start to finish
Assist internal clients with their content needs
Engage with capital markets topics and firm philosophy on a daily basis through writing, research and reading up on market news
Build custom presentation materials for private client sales and service organizations
Draft firm-wide communications containing helpful resources for internal clients
Update and maintain the firm’s library of existing content
Why Fisher Investments:
Fisher Investments is a different kind of investment firm. We don’t come from Wall Street, nor do we believe we fit in with most of the finance industry, and we’re proud of that. We work for a bigger purpose: bettering the investment universe. From unmatched service to innovative perspectives on investing, it’s the people that make the Fisher purpose possible. After all, it’s our people that enable us to offer the level of service that we do. And we invest in them accordingly, offering exceptional benefits like:
100% coverage of premiums for health, vision and dental insurance
A 50% 401(k) match, up to the IRS maximum
20 days of PTO*, plus 9 paid holidays
8 week paid Primary Caregiver Parental Leave
And much, much more
We also provide a cumulative, continuous learning and development framework customized for every employee. This emphasis on personal and professional growth has yielded an award-winning work environment; we’re Great Place to Work Certified, and The Oregonian named us as a Top Workplace.
But in the end, it’s not the perks that keep people here. They stay because they believe in our mission of service—our employees want to make a difference in an industry that can do better.
* California employees accrue up to 17 days of PTO and 3 days of sick time per year.

The Position
The Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS) is an independent national nonprofit that uses science to protect our health, safety, and environment. We are scientists, engineers, economists, activists and everyday people who develop and advocate for innovative, practical solutions to some of our planet’s most pressing problems—from combating global warming and developing sustainable ways to feed, power, and transport ourselves, to fighting misinformation, advancing racial equity, and reducing the threat of nuclear war.
UCS is looking for a smart, energetic, cross-channel strategist to serve as the key communications point person for one or two UCS campaigns, including our Global Security campaign, which is focused on reducing the risks of a nuclear war. The two-year position will develop proactive and reactive media strategies to help achieve our campaign goals through raising the visibility of our experts, issues, and products with a wide range of audiences. This position requires someone with a great news sense, excellent writing skills, a knack for collaborating well with others, and the ability to work under tight timelines while juggling multiple tasks.
Responsibilities
Position will serve as communications point person for one or more UCS campaigns but must maintain flexibility to jump on visibility opportunities that may arise for other issue areas.
In service of campaign goals, develop proactive and reactive media strategies to obtain widespread media coverage for UCS, our experts, positions, and analysis in targeted print, radio, online, television, and video news outlets, as well as podcasts.

In collaboration with campaign, social media and web staff, develop cross-channel communications strategies and tactics (social media, email, SMS, digital ads, web, etc.) to support campaign visibility efforts.
Develop talking points and soundbites for UCS experts.
Train UCS staff, scientists, and activists on successful media techniques and strategies.
With campaign team, develop/refine target outlets, monitor press coverage, and proactively look for opportunities to create new stories or to insert UCS and our experts developing coverage.
Establish relationships with members of press corps through email, twitter, phone, and in-person meetings to promote opportunities for positive reporting on UCS activities, positions, and experts.
Use tracking tools (e.g. Cision, social media tracking) to develop strategies, monitor success and contribute to quarterly impact reporting.
Compensation, Hours and Location: This is a temporary, two-year-time position, preferably based in UCS’s Washington, DC office. But candidates wishing to work out of one of our other offices—in Cambridge, Mass., Oakland, Calif., or Chicago, Ill.—will also be considered.
