This role sits within Covista's Corporate Affairs team and reports to the Director, Federal Government Relations and Public Affairs. You'll operate at the intersection of two of Covista's most forward-facing and important functions — business development and public affairs —the Corporate Affairs lead for execution of Covista's market expansion efforts while contributing to an integrated Government Relations and Public Affairs function that shapes how Covista is perceived and positioned with external stakeholders.

Your primary mandate is supporting the team driving our campus growth strategy and new market entry. You'll be the Corporate Affairs embed for that work — project managing the public-facing elements of new campus locations, coordinating in-market events and community activations in conjunction with agency partners, and ensuring that every expansion moment is executed with the strategic discipline and storytelling quality that Covista's brand demands.

When a new location opens, you'll have been in the room long before opening day, having helped coordinate across campus leaders, community partners, local officials, Government Relations colleagues, and communications teams to make sure the right relationships are set up for success from day one.

Alongside this market expansion mandate, you'll play an ongoing role in the broader Government Relations/Public Affairs function — helping manage the systems, materials, communications, and stakeholder engagement that turn strategy into action. You'll support work that advances Covista's policy positioning and reputation with key stakeholders; translate policy activity and outcomes into narratives that resonate beyond Washington; and support issues preparedness and response in a news and regulatory environment that frequently presents new challenges.
