Senior Communications and Marketing Director

Role Description

The Senior Communications and Marketing Director is a senior leadership role responsible for building the content, relationships, and assets that deepen and expand Movement Labs' support among funders and partners. Your north star is ensuring that donors and partners at every level — from small-dollar supporters to sophisticated major and mega donors and their advisors — understand our impact, trust our rigor, and stay engaged over the long term. You'll need to translate complex research and RCT results into compelling stories, and you'll manage a small team to execute across multiple channels and workstreams. This role is fully remote.
