As a key member of the Leadership Team, this role will work directly with the Executive Director and the rest of the members of the Senior Management Team to craft and execute comprehensive communication strategies that support the organization's mission, engage stakeholders, including policy makers and law enforcement partners, and inspire donors. You will oversee a small, talented, and tight-knit team and collaborate closely with program leaders to align communication efforts with organizational goals. This position is ideal for a dynamic leader who thrives on collaboration, is highly organized, and has a proven ability to create compelling content in the nonprofit space.

• Willingness to take a hands-on role in the communications work of the organization, including in the production of content.


• Proven experience leading communications strategies in the nonprofit sector, with a strong understanding of targeted messaging for different audience groups (including marketing).


• A collaborative mindset and enthusiasm for mentoring and empowering team members.


• Expertise in producing high-quality digital content (written, visual, audio), managing budgets, and delivering data-driven results.


• Fluency in accessing and using key metrics to continuously improve performance, particularly when it comes to engagement and utilization with marketing products and tactics.


• Demonstrated experience in handling classified and confidential information and ability to exercise sound editorial judgement when communicating with external partners and stakeholders.


• Commitment to prioritizing many lived experiences and kinds of expertise with the ability to create inclusive messaging and campaigns.


• A hands-on attitude and the ability to work independently.
