Responsibilities

• Set communications strategy . Define and evolve GroundBreak's editorial point of view — what we say, how, and where — across every channel, from social to donor materials to coalition partners.
• Shape our design and visual identity. Bring a strong eye for design to decks, one-pagers, social graphics, and internal materials, so our work looks and feels intentional and on-brand.
• Coordinate across the coalition . Partner with coalition partners on coordinated storytelling so our collective impact reads as cohesive and amplified.
• Support executive visibility. Support the CEO's personal platforms, maintaining a presence that reflects their voice and the weight of this work.
• Own our channels . Manage GroundBreak's social media platforms day-to-day, keeping our presence active, intentional, and on-brand.
• Create and curate content. Produce text, visuals, and short video, coordinating with team members and recipients so storytelling stays grounded in real people.
• Use data to inform decisions. Use analytics and social listening to see what's landing and why, and bring that back to inform decisions.
• Support internal communications. Assist with newsletters, staff messaging, and presentation design using existing templates.
• What Success Looks Like: GroundBreak's communications and design feel consistent and intentional across every touchpoint — from a social post to a board deck.
• Coalition partners are tagging GroundBreak in their own storytelling.

Requirements

• 5+ years in communications, marketing, or brand strategy, with range across strategy, design, and content — not just one lane.
• Strong design instincts and hands-on comfort in Canva, Adobe Creative Suite, or comparable tools — you can make things look good yourself.
• Deep platform fluency across Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn, plus working knowledge of YouTube.
• Local candidates only.
• Experience managing a content calendar across concurrent priorities and collaborators — coalition partners, the CEO's office, your own team.
• Strong command of analytics — pulling data from native dashboards and social tools, identifying what’s working and why.
• A portfolio that shows range and a point of view is a must.
• Final candidates will participate in a paid work sample exercise as part of the interview process.

Preferred

• Experience with nonprofits, coalitions, or economic justice organizations is a plus.
• Background in mission-driven, community-facing, or social impact organizations a plus but not required.

Benefits

• Benefits: GroundBreak Coalition offers a competitive salary and comprehensive benefits package, including health, dental, and vision insurance, retirement plan contributions, generous paid time off, and paid holidays. We are committed to supporting the well-being of our team members both professionally and personally.
