About the Role

The Company is seeking an Executive Director of Marketing & Communications to lead its brand strategy, storytelling, and communication efforts. This pivotal role is focused on driving awareness, engagement, and support for the organization's mission, particularly during a time of growth and national expansion. The successful candidate will be responsible for shaping how the company communicates its impact, both locally and nationally, and must have a deep understanding of the education ecosystem, with a proven track record of building national brands. The role requires a strategic thinker who is also a builder, with a relentless commitment to centering the stories and voices of the community college students the organization serves. The Executive Director will lead a team, manage the marketing and communications budget, and ensure that all activities are in line with the company's values of equity, excellence, and community. Applicants for the Executive Director position at the company should be passionate about the mission to advance economic mobility and motivated to address systemic inequities. The role demands a leader with at least 10 years of marketing and communications experience, including a minimum of 5 years in leadership, and a Bachelor's degree in a related field. The ideal candidate will be an exceptional storyteller, a strong people manager, and a strategic thinker with a collaborative leadership style. They must be adept at digital marketing, social media strategy, and content management, and have a proven ability to influence and build coalitions both internally and externally. The role also requires a commitment to equity, inclusion, and working with diverse communities, as well as the ability to navigate partnerships with public systems or institutions.
