Marketing and Content Manager

Responsibilities

• Content and channels, every week and month:
• 3 or more social posts per week on Instagram, auto-crossposted to Facebook, scaling to near daily during big fundraising and event campaigns
• 1 post a week crossposted to LinkedIn with its own curated caption. This is an area we’d like to develop more. LinkedIn experience is a plus.
• Instagram community management: stories, resharing partner and artist posts, commenting, and replying
• Minimal external creator / influencer coordination, but experience in this area is a bonus.
• 2 emails per month to our supporter list, plus additional campaign emails as needed
• Short-form video: film artist and program interviews and edit reels on your own.
• Occasionally create and star in your own content: plan it, appear on camera, record the voiceover, and edit it yourself
• Occasional larger projects require working with our contracted videographers and editors on bigger shoots
• Basic graphic design in Canva for social posts, emails, and web flyers

Requirements

• A marketing background with real, hands-on social media and content experience
• Nonprofit, arts, or community organization experience, strong bonus
• Project management skills: you build timelines backward from launch dates and plan review time in, without being asked
• The ability to take a strategy document and independently turn it into unique, on brand, engaging, scheduled, published content
• Openness to working with AI tools to support efficiency, not to replace human skill or judgment
• Strong storytelling instincts and comfort writing in a warm, plain-spoken voice
• Comfort shooting, editing, doing VO and occasionally starring in short-form video on a phone or basic kit
• Basic graphic design skills for social media, email, and web
• A proactive, in-house mindset: you go get the info and assets you need from busy teammates rather than waiting for work to arrive packaged
• A sharp eye for brand consistency, and the judgment to know what's ready to go versus what needs another pass

Preferred

• LinkedIn experience is a plus
• Nonprofit, arts, or community organization experience, strong bonus
• Experience mentoring an intern or junior team member is a plus
• Fundraising or event marketing experience is a plus
