  • Cultural fluency: ensure content passes the Pillow’s Cultural Fluency Review and builds trust across diverse audiences.

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Lead the development of a comprehensive, multi-channel marketing and communication strategy, overseeing implementation and ensuring alignment with organizational goals.
  • Translate organizational priorities into actionable plans, budgets, staffing recommendations, systems, workflows, and measurable outcomes.
  • Develop strategies for in-person and online audience growth and diversification using CRM analytics, social media insights, and market trends, including disaggregated audience data that tracks who the Pillow is reaching, welcoming, and retaining.
  • Design and lead multicultural marketing as a core audience-development and revenue strategy — including culturally specific campaigns, multilingual and in-language content, community-trusted media channels, and authentic, sustained engagement with Global Majority communities, artists, and audiences.
  • Create and refine audience goals and revenue strategies, leading cross-functional teams in ongoing implementation and improvement efforts.
  • Lead, coach, and develop year-round and seasonal marketing staff while creating the systems, processes, and accountability structures necessary to achieve departmental goals.
  • Supervise institutional voice and style, ensuring consistency across all public-facing marketing and communication materials.
  • Establish departmental priorities and manage the allocation of marketing and communications resources across Jacob’s Pillow’s key departments, including Programming, The School, Community Engagement, Philanthropy, and the Archives.

  • Demonstrated multicultural marketing experience — designing and executing campaigns that authentically reach, grow, and retain culturally diverse audiences, with measurable audience and revenue results.
  • Cultural competency in audience development: understands how marketing choices — imagery, language, channels, pricing, and partnerships — include or exclude communities, and how to build trust with audiences an institution has not historically served.

  • Proven written and verbal communication skills.
  • Passion for and understanding of dance and its many forms.
  • Must be self-motivated with a passion for meeting and exceeding goals.
