WE'RE HIRING! Join Rapp Strategies as a Communications Specialist

Rapp Strategies, Inc., a strategic counsel and communications firm specializing in issue and reputation management, is seeking an entry-level communications specialist to join our collaborative, energetic and talented account team. In this role, you’ll support clients by writing original content, supporting research projects, contributing to strategy sessions and helping manage day-to-day communications work.

We work with a diverse mix of clients, including major businesses, trade groups, nonprofits and government agencies. Our specialties include strategic thinking, navigating complex issues, mitigating risks, reputation support, and helping clients leverage big ideas to achieve their goals.  

We recently moved into a larger, collaboration-focused office in Northeast Minneapolis and are looking for a motivated individual with a strong interest in public affairs who’s eager to grow in the profession. While relevant experience is helpful, we support and expect team members to learn on the job.

Ideal candidates experience or interest in the following areas:  

  • Strong writing skills across formats — including press releases, social media posts, print materials and digital content tailored to specific audiences and platforms

  • Writing and planning for digital media

  • Creative content development across social platforms

  • Researching and synthesizing complex information, including detailed reports and opinion research

  • Previous internship or work experience at a communications or public affairs firm

  • Visual storytelling and content creation

  • Strategic use of social media and analytics tools

  • Proficiency in Microsoft Office, Adobe Creative Suite, Canva or website platforms like Squarespace

  • A passion for client-centered work and a collaborative spirit

Rapp Strategies was recently recognized as one of the Top 50 fastest growing companies in the Twin Cities by the Minneapolis/St. Paul Business Journal. With more than 40 years of success in public affairs, Rapp Strategies works with organizations across many sectors, including health care, local government, economic development, transportation, public health, education and energy.

Team members contribute meaningfully from Day One, working alongside with talented professionals who are smart, creative − and fun. We foster a supportive environment where curiosity is encouraged, feedback is constructive, and professional growth is a shared priority. Whether you're brainstorming with colleagues or learning from client interactions, you'll be part of a team that values both individual initiative and collective success.

We believe our differences in experience and perspective make us stronger, and we’re committed to building a diverse team of individuals striving to reach their potential. We strongly encourage applicants from all backgrounds to apply.
