Responsibilities

• Strategic Communications
• Develop and execute communications strategy aligned with REBUILD.US ’s organizational priorities, theory of change, brand and narrative strategies.
• Hold a bird's-eye view of the organization and an in-depth understanding of our main interventions and our brand and narrative strategies, and translate that into a clear, cohesive, and actionable communications plan.
• Develop communications strategies for both rapid-response climate disaster moments and long-term “blue sky” periods.
• Ensure communications effectively advance REBUILD.US ’s organizing, fundraising, advocacy, and brand-building goals.
• Introduce a lean-startup discipline to the organization by defining core value hypotheses, conducting quick and routine testing, and remaining nimble to adjust workflows.
• Team, Partner and Vendor Management
• Manage the communications function — staff, strategy partners, vendors alike — setting day-to-day priorities.
• Translate long-term strategy into day-to-day priorities and establish clear systems, workflows, and expectations with staff, consultants, and vendors.
• Maintain systems and workflows and track projects across multiple partners, vendors, and teams; and ensure the program is advancing our short- and long-term strategies.

Requirements

• 10+ years of experience in senior communications, editorial, or narrative strategy roles.
• A track record of building and leading high-performing communications teams that span disciplines — digital, brand, media relations, and content.
• 2+ years of experience supervising direct reports.
• Proven ability to translate organizational and narrative strategy into editorial output that shifts public attitudes, media coverage, or policy outcomes.
• Exceptional writing and editing skills with experience crafting communication and narrative materials that hold a distinct point of view and mass, popular appeal.
• Comfort operating at strategic and tactical levels -- big-picture strategy and hands-on drafting and editing.
• Deep commitment to disaster-impacted communities and to a survivor-centered, justice-oriented approach to recovery; direct experience with climate disaster response, organizing, or survivor communities is a strong plus.
• Exceptional relationship-building skills across a wide range of stakeholders: staff, media, funders, movement partners, and survivors.
• Experience working with membership-based organizations (including labor unions, community organizations)
• Insight into what makes content land in a fractured, high-pressure media environment—and how to turn attention into action.

Benefits

• Generous benefits package includes 100% employer-paid health insurance (medical, dental, and vision), 401k match, PTO and leave policies, professional development funds, and remote work stipend.
