Job Summary

Own and orchestrate CADCA's social and digital storytelling, from content planning and design to execution and performance analysis across channels, while coordinating campaigns, events, and audience targeting.

  • Lead social content and calendar across channels
  • Design graphics and materials to maintain brand and accessibility
  • Run end-to-end email campaigns and analyze results

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Own the story on social. Write, schedule, publish, and monitor CADCA's social channels, and build an organization-wide content calendar that keeps campaigns, events, and priorities all moving in sync — with an eye on what's trending.
  • Design work that gets noticed. Create social graphics, flyers, infographics, one-pagers, email graphics, presentations, and event materials that keep CADCA's brand sharp, consistent, and accessible.
  • Run email campaigns start to finish. Build, test, schedule, and deploy campaigns, and partner with the Membership team to segment audiences, clean data, and keep distribution lists accurate across our AMS and email platform.
  • Dig into the data. Research new audience segments, track performance across social, email, and web, and turn what you learn into recommendations that make the next campaign better than the last. Keep UTMs, links, and conversion tracking in order.
  • Keep our digital home fresh. Make routine WordPress updates using best practices for SEO, AI-driven search discoverability, accessibility, and conversion.
  • Help stretch every marketing dollar further. Support the optimization of CADCA's Google Ad Grants campaigns and contribute to integrated marketing efforts, including video and multimedia projects.
  • Keep it all on track. Manage timelines, coordinate reviews and approvals, and proofread everything that goes out the door — because details matter when you're representing a national movement.
  • Occasional travel or after-hours work may be needed around our signature events.

Requirements

  • A bachelor's degree in marketing, communications, public relations, graphic design, or a related field
  • 2–3 years of relevant experience (internships count!)
  • Strong graphic design, writing, editing, and digital storytelling chops
  • Experience managing social content, editorial calendars, and performance reporting
  • Comfort with audience data, digital analytics, and juggling multiple platforms
  • Sharp organizational skills and the ability to manage several deadlines at once, across teams
  • A portfolio that shows off your design, writing, social, or multimedia work

Preferred

  • Adobe Creative Suite and/or Canva, WordPress, Google Analytics, social scheduling tools
  • NetForum and Informz (or similar database/email platforms), including queries, segmentation, and list hygiene
  • Working knowledge of HTML/CSS for email formatting and troubleshooting
  • SEO, AI search discoverability, conversion optimization, and Google Ads / Google Ad Grants experience
  • Video production or editing experience
  • Experience in a nonprofit, association, membership, or event marketing setting

  • Excellent medical, dental, and vision coverage
  • Generous paid time off and holidays
  • A collaborative, mission-driven team that genuinely likes working together
  • Predictable hours (8:30 am–5:30 pm, Monday–Friday), with extra hands-on-deck time during our signature events
  • Hybrid schedule — 3 days in office, 2 from home after your first 90 days

CADCA

2.9 Glassdoor

Founded in response to the devastating crack-cocaine epidemic of the 1980s, CADCA was born from a nationwide need to mobilize communities against rising drug use. Since 1992, CADCA has been the premier prevention association, equipping coalitions with the tools, knowledge and support needed to create positive change in their communities. We represent over 7,000 community coalitions in the United States and more than 28 countries, drawing participation from key sectors such as schools, law enforcement, youth, parents, healthcare, and more. At the heart of CADCA’s work is the belief that local coalitions are essential catalysts for creating safer, healthier communities.
