About Us:  

Boulder Strategies LLC (www.boulderstrategiesllc.com) is an 18-time award-winning, innovative digital marketing agency dedicated to achieving amazing results in an ever evolving digital-first world. We proudly work at the intersection of Public Affairs, Advocacy and Institutional Growth, mixing the best campaign-oriented tactics with the leading digital engagement, brand management, and lead generation tactics to ensure our political, non-profit, trade association, and B2B|B2C clients are always on the cutting edge. 

Our sister agency, Turn It Blue Digital (www.turnitbluedigital.com) — Named the Democratic Party’s ‘Best New Firm’ at the 2020 Reed Awards — offers a specialized suite of straightforward digital toolkits, designed for progressive candidates running for state and local office. We know it all too well: Running for office is hard. It takes guts and perseverance. But it’s incredibly important. Turn It Blue grew out of a stinging desire to fight back. We took our decades of experience, locked ourselves in a room, thought back on all the campaigns we’ve worked on in the past, and hammered out a plan to knock down one of the toughest barriers that state and local candidates face: kickstarting and maintaining an effective, professional digital program — one that wins.

Proudly progressive, we pour our hearts and souls into candidates and causes we care deeply for. Across both the Boulder Strategies and the Turn It Blue business units, our tightly-knit team jointly serves a growing group of highly-valued clients, constantly striving to amplify their messages and empower their campaigns to impress and convert in a beautiful way! If this sounds like something that excites you, we’d love to talk.

About the Role:

The right candidate will also understand how to assess a prospect’s needs in alignment with our product offerings, and cater the sales outreach to each prospect specifically.

• Run product demos to close business at or above quota level
