Job Summary

Drive integrated communications and storytelling for a mission-driven nonprofit, shaping the brand, media outreach, and audience engagement across channels.

  • Must-have: 7+ years in nonprofit/advocacy communications with proven brand-building and results-led strategy
  • Standout: ownership of external channels (website, email, social, PR) with broad media relationships

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Develop and execute an integrated communications and content strategy that establishes a distinct, mission-driven organizational voice
  • Shape and steward World Centric's brand identity across all external channels — ensuring how we show up in the world reflects the depth and integrity of our work
  • Identify high-impact media opportunities that prioritize quality of audience and credibility of placement over volume
  • Build and maintain relationships with journalists, advocates, influencers, and thought leaders across traditional and emerging platforms
  • Create original content across formats — long-form pieces, opinion and editorial, digital campaigns, social content, email, reports
  • Develop content strategies around the issues central to our worldview: war and peace, climate change, social and economic inequality, human rights, environmental justice
  • Build frameworks for talking about materials science, innovation, and business structure in ways that connect to broader movements and resonate with mission-aligned audiences
  • Own and evolve the World Centric website as a communications and storytelling platform
  • Lead social media strategy and execution across relevant platforms
  • Develop and manage email and other communications, including audience segmentation and engagement strategy

Requirements

  • 7+ years of progressive communications, journalism, marketing experience, with meaningful time in the nonprofit, social enterprise, policy, or advocacy space
  • Demonstrated experience building or evolving brand identity for organizations defined by their mission, values, and actions — not their products
  • Proven track record developing and executing integrated communications strategies that delivered measurable results
  • Deep knowledge of global environmental, social, political, and human rights landscapes — conflict, human rights, climate change, inequality, and systemic injustice
  • Direct ownership of external channels: website, social, email, and PR
  • Exceptional writing, editing, and storytelling across formats and audiences
  • Strong media relationships across traditional and emerging platforms
  • Portfolio of work that carved out distinctive positioning through content and storytelling — not safe, conventional campaigns
  • Experience managing consultants and/or direct reports

Preferred

  • Background at the intersection of business, impact and advocacy: companies or organizations that take public positions on political and environmental issues
  • Track record building niche, passionate audiences rather than pursuing mass reach
  • Familiarity with B Corp, worker cooperative, or similar mission-aligned business structures
