Associate, Digital Marketing & Communications
About The Position
CADCA is the premier prevention association in the country, equipping more than 7,000 coalitions across the United States and 28+ countries with the tools, knowledge, and support they need to fight substance misuse and create lasting change. Every graphic you design, every email you send, and every post you publish helps local coalitions reach the people who need them most. We're looking for a creative, organized, and data-minded Associate, Digital Marketing & Communications to help tell that story — across social media, email, web, and beyond. If you love turning complex ideas into content people actually want to engage with, and you get a kick out of watching the analytics prove it worked, we want to meet you.
