Responsibilities

• Serve as the Communications team's primary point of contact for member-facing communications, coordinating announcements, resources, and campaign materials; gathering stories and content from members and partners; and leading the production and distribution of NCN's monthly e-newsletters, including drafting, editing, assembly, approvals, and engagement tracking.
• Support planning and execution of major campaigns, including Nonprofits Get It Done and Transformation 2035 — translating communications strategies into actionable implementation plans, developing messaging and materials, managing Days of Action communications, and ensuring all campaign components are completed on schedule.
• Coordinate member and partner communications for NCN's national campaigns, including managing campaign emails and resources, supporting mini-grant storytelling, gathering participant stories, and amplifying member voices across NCN communications.
• Identify web, social, digital, and graphic needs across campaigns and member communications — and coordinate those deliverables with the Communications Specialist and Creative team to keep all production components aligned, on brand, and on time.
• Support the Vice President of Communications on key communications initiatives, including planning and coordinating editorial calendars and capacity-building programming for member communications cohorts.

Requirements

• 5+ years of relevant communications experience, with a focus on writing, editing, and project or campaign coordination — nonprofit, member, or association communications experience strongly preferred
• Proficiency with email marketing platforms (e.g., Mailchimp, Constant Contact, CiviCRM, or similar) and demonstrated experience managing newsletters, organizational mailings, or audience-facing communications
• Strong project management skills with a proven ability to manage multiple campaigns, stakeholders, and deadlines simultaneously; familiarity with Asana or comparable project management tools and Meltwater or other media monitoring/CRM platforms preferred
• Degree in communications, public relations, nonprofit management, or a related field preferred; equivalent experience accepted

Preferred

• You connect the dots — you naturally spot what members need, what campaigns are missing, and what it takes to keep communications moving forward.
• You thrive when there are a lot of moving pieces — managing timelines, coordinating stakeholders, and keeping multiple workstreams on track energizes rather than overwhelms you.
• You genuinely care about the nonprofit sector and the people it serves — this work matters to you personally, not just professionally.
• You're a long-game thinker — you're looking to build something, not just fill a role until the next opportunity comes along.

Benefits

• medical, dental, vision, life, long-term disability, and short-term disability insurance
• a 401(k) plan with employer match
• flexible spending accounts
• generous paid time off and holiday schedule
• monthly transportation and communications stipends
• ongoing professional development opportunities
