We’re hiring at CivicActions. We’re looking for civic-minded folks with high emotional intelligence who love to learn, problem-solve, and collaborate.

Culture — the special sauce
The culture at CivicActions is a primary reason most of us work here. It’s a culture of openness and balance. We’re a bunch of fun, loving, and passionate people who are excited about doing great things for our clients and for each other.

When we add new people to our team, we make a point of highlighting the culture of the company and how it improves the way we work. We believe that people who feel balanced in their lives and supported by their coworkers will be more innovative and focused.

Diversity — a mindful practice
For the past few years we’ve been focused on bringing more diversity to our unique and talented company. Diversity at CivicActions is not a rote policy or a feel-good buzzword — it’s a practice area. It’s something we work towards, iterate on, and talk about as we grow.

When hiring, we seek diversity in our candidates because it elevates all of us. Diversity brings broader ranges of ideas and experiences that have direct impact on us as individuals and on our company.

At CivicActions, we are people first — not “professionals” or “engineers” or “managers.” We are people. And as people we have the basic desire to connect and learn from each other. By elevating the importance of diversity in our team, we expand the pool of knowledge and ideas that will shape our personal growth, our daily work, and our contributions to the world.

We look forward to seeing how our company culture will evolve as we continue to grow. If you’re looking for a meaningful and diverse workplace, we invite you to join our team!
