Marketing Coordinator (Affinity Group Project Coordinator)

JOB SUMMARY

Partner with cross-practice teams to manage Affinity Group-related deliverables by establishing project teams and processes from initiation through delivery.

Affinity groups are client membership groups like communities whose values align with those of the firm and have similar interests within each group. The firm’s vision for affinity groups is a place where everyone can collectively learn, contribute and be listened to as thought leaders, and where SullivanCotter can build a foundation for discovery, perspectives and innovation to create value for clients and associates. Affinity groups provide the firm a more personalized but collective forum to track client requirements and preferences, provide education and share knowledge; translate this knowledge into actions that enhance the clients’ and associates’ experience, firm’s services and products, with potential commercialization opportunities. In all that we do, we aim to create mutually beneficial relationships between affinity members, associates and the firm.
