Marketing Director Jobs

About The Position

Requirements

• Experience operating in the Democratic and progressive funder landscape, including donor-advisor audiences and major giving infrastructure.
• Strong command of political programs research. You understand what an RCT is, why it matters, and how to make those findings resonate with funders who range from instinct-driven to highly quantitative.
• Proven ability to manage people and projects with an equity lens — you set clear expectations, hold people accountable, invest in their growth, and build workflows that are sustainable for the whole team.
• Exceptional writing and storytelling skills. You can make complex ideas land with clarity and urgency across formats — from a one-pager to a donor pitch to a press release or pitch that will get attention.
• A direct, confident communications style that earns trust with sophisticated audiences.
• A collaborative, cross-functional working style — you build strong relationships across teams, communicate proactively in a remote-first environment, and organize internally to achieve goals.
• Comfort operating in an outcomes-oriented, goal-driven environment where you're expected to exercise judgment with limited oversight.

Responsibilities

• Partner closely with the Development team to ensure donor-facing proposals, pitch decks, and outreach are grounded in sharp, consistent messaging — developing the overall brand narrative, program stories, data context, and reusable assets that Development draws from when building specific asks.
• Translate complex RCT methodology and program results into clear, compelling narratives that convey meaning, context, and strategic relevance for funder and partner audiences.
• Build and maintain a content and asset library — including case studies, one-pagers, and impact stats — that enables Development and Leadership to produce on-brand, high-quality pitches independently and efficiently.
• Develop and execute a thought leadership strategy that positions Movement Labs and senior staff as go-to voices in political innovation. This includes an owned publishing channel (newsletter, Substack, or blog) on a consistent cadence, a recurring virtual research briefing and webinar series, and flagship research assets like white papers.
• Produce virtual events — including donor briefings, research showcases, and partner convenings — that bring Movement Labs' work to life and deepen funder relationships between major gift cycles.
• Orchestrate Movement Labs' presence at ecosystem conferences and convenings, including securing speaking and panel opportunities through relationships with event organizers.
• Build and cultivate content partnerships with ecosystem newsletters, Substacks, podcasts, and media outlets to amplify Movement Labs' work and reach adjacent donor and partner audiences.
• Lead earned media strategy, securing coverage in outlets credible to donor and partner audiences, primarily for the Contest Every Race program.
• Support leadership and spokespeople with interview prep, talking points, and media training.
• Partner with leadership on crisis communications planning and risk mitigation.
• Oversee brand and website presence, ensuring Movement Labs' external identity reflects the quality and rigor of our work.
• Direct social media strategy to amplify reach and engagement with donor and partner audiences.
• Manage and mentor a small team of communications staff and contractors, providing clear direction, accountability, and professional development.
