Director of Marketing and Communications

Director of Marketing and Communications

This is a Hybrid position.

Ad Hoc is a digital services company that helps the federal government better serve people. Our teams use modern, agile methods to meet the needs of our users while closing the gap between consumer expectations and government.

Work on things that matter

Our teams connect Veterans with services designed for their needs, help millions of people access affordable health care, and support important programs like Head Start. As we work with agencies to deliver critical services, we're also changing how the government thinks about and uses technology.

Built for a remote life

Ad Hoc is remote-first and remote-always. We've designed our culture, communications, and tools to support a nationwide team. Being remote allows Ad Hoc to bring the best people onto our teams and give them the freedom to create a work environment that fits their lives. Maybe you need to adjust your schedule to care for your family or take a bike ride. At Ad Hoc, that's welcomed.

Committed to high expectations and a welcoming culture

Ad Hoc values acceptance, accountability, and humility. We aren't heroes. We leave our egos at the door to learn from our mistakes and improve the process for the next time. We build small, inclusive teams to bring the best of consumer technology to the problems of government.
