The ideal candidate will have at least 15 years' of relevant experience, with a minimum of 10 years' in a senior leadership capacity, and a proven track record in crisis communications, brand leadership, and marketing strategy. Experience in mission-driven, advocacy, or politically active organizations is essential, as is the ability to build and execute narrative strategies.
