Job Description
Are you a connector, communicator, and policy-savvy strategist? Flagger Force is looking for a Public Affairs Manager to help grow our voice and visibility with government leaders, clients, and community partners. In this high-impact role, you’ll elevate our presence in the infrastructure and workforce space—and help drive meaningful business outcomes across our expanding national footprint.
This position is based at our corporate campus in Hummelstown, PA , with frequent travel (up to 60%) to engage directly with policymakers, client stakeholders, and community partners across our operating regions.
Reporting to the Associate Vice President of Strategy, the Public Affairs Manager serves as a strategic brand ambassador and stakeholder liaison, shaping the company’s external reputation while advancing Flagger Force’s business priorities in public policy, client partnerships, workforce development, and community investment.
As the Public Affairs Manager, you will be at the forefront of brand representation, stakeholder engagement, and advocacy execution, connecting government affairs, client alignment, and reputation strategy to deliver measurable value. While our nationally recognized workforce development platform remains a cornerstone of our public affairs efforts, this role focuses broadly on strategic stakeholder engagement, brand differentiation, and navigating public policy landscapes in ways that support market expansion, influence industry dialogue, and strengthen client relationships.
Strategic Influence & External Relations
- Develop and execute a public affairs roadmap that aligns with company priorities across safety, workforce advocacy, public utility and infrastructure issues, as well as economic development.
- Represent Flagger Force at public-facing meetings, events, and advocacy forums—including with elected officials, government agencies, industry associations, and community partners.
- Identify and build trusted relationships with stakeholders who influence transportation, labor, safety, and procurement policy across our operating states.
- Monitor and report on relevant legislation, regulatory trends, and political dynamics, providing briefings to leadership and forecasting business impacts.
- Shape and manage messaging related to Flagger Force’s public policy positions and community impact, in partnership with internal and external communications teams.
- Manage the procurement, performance, and strategic alignment of regional lobbyists and public affairs partners. Ensure each engagement supports Flagger Force’s advocacy priorities, delivers measurable ROI, and fits within budget. Recommend when to scale, shift, or sunset lobbying contracts based on strategic needs and effectiveness.
