Marketing & Communications Manager

ASC Advisors LLC • Austin, TX

3d • $50,000 - $60,000 • Hybrid

About The Position

As the Marketing & Communications Manager at Austin Sunshine Camps (ASC), you will be the creative voice of our mission. Reporting directly to the Chief Development Officer, you will build awareness, drive donor engagement, and bring the magic of camp to life through powerful multimedia storytelling. This is a dynamic, multi-faceted role where no two days are the same. You will fully own our digital ecosystem—from shaping our social media presence and crafting newsletters to driving website updates and designing beautiful collateral. Simultaneously, you will be a strategic partner to our development team, creating the vital donor-facing appeals and stewardship materials that fund our free overnight camp programs. You are highly organized, collaborative, and possess a sharp eye for design. You are just as comfortable writing a moving impact story as you are analyzing engagement metrics or stepping out of the office to represent ASC in the Austin community.
