Bring your expertise to
work that matters.
Mission alignment is our hiring filter.
Mission alignment is not a line on a job description at Formation PR & Brand. It shapes the clients we choose and the people we hire. As a woman-owned strategic communications agency, we partner with organizations changing lives across Western North Carolina and beyond. Every person on our team has a hand in helping their missions travel farther.
This work matters because of what it changes.
That can mean helping rural college graduates stay and strengthen their communities. Helping people find exceptional healthcare close to home. Helping families access fresh food so children can focus, build relationships and thrive. The work is strategic and creative, but its impact is deeply human.
If you bring deep expertise, stay curious and genuinely give a damn about the people our clients serve, you may belong at Formation. We take the work seriously, support each other and make room for full lives beyond it.
Our benefits reflect our values.
We want people to build meaningful careers here without putting the rest of their lives on hold. That commitment shows up in how Formation compensates our team, makes room for flexibility, invests in growth and supports the causes they care about.
Fair compensation
We ensure that our team members are compensated fairly for the value and experience they provide to our agency. Formation is a Living Wage Certified business in Western North Carolina.
Flexible PTO
Time away matters. Our generous holiday schedule and paid time off cover vacations, illnesses and emergencies, giving people space to recharge and tend to life.
Safe Harbor 401(k)
Employees can invest in a Safe Harbor 401(k) with a company match to help grow long-term savings.
Dependent care FSA
Set aside pre-tax dollars to cover eligible child or dependent care expenses, making it easier to support your family while saving money.
Hybrid, office-first schedule
Formation values face-to-face collaboration to exchange ideas, share insights and grow together as a team. Our office-first, hybrid model supports teamwork and strategy sessions in person, while allowing flexibility when remote work makes sense. Employees are typically in the office at least three days per week.
Professional development
We work with our team members to identify growth opportunities that help them build new skills and strengthen existing ones — aligned with both their career goals and our agency’s mission.
Giving back is integral to our work.
Giving back is not an extracurricular at Formation. It is part of how we live our values and define our culture.
Each employee receives up to 60 paid hours a year to volunteer with organizations that matter to them. Formation also provides up to $250 annually for each team member to donate to a 501(c)(3) or nonprofit of their choice.
That gives our team the time and resources to show up for their communities in ways that are personally meaningful, not only through the work we do for clients.
We love to work and play in the Blue Ridge Mountains.
Formation PR & Brand is based in Hendersonville’s Seventh Avenue District, less than 30 minutes from Pisgah National Forest and about 30 minutes from Asheville. That puts trails, rivers, live music and great food within easy reach.
Our team makes the most of it. You might find us walking or riding the Ecusta Trail, mountain biking in DuPont State Recreational Forest, paddleboarding the French Broad, catching a show or meeting for dinner in Asheville — sometimes all in the same week.
