We’re Hiring a Communications & Engagement Lead…Is It You?

Are you passionate about the power of strategic communications and peer engagement to transform the culture and practice of philanthropy? If so, you might be the Communications and Engagement Lead we’re looking for!

About You

The Trust-Based Philanthropy Project seeks a creative and values-driven communications professional and network weaver to amplify our efforts to make the case for, and inspire individual and organizational change toward, trust-based philanthropy. The Communications and Engagement Lead’s role is part observer, part amplifier, part connector. This is an ideal role for someone who is passionate about using strategic communications and relationship-building to create an atmosphere of peer learning, engagement, and action toward bigger picture culture change.

The Communications and Engagement Lead wears two critical hats to support the Project’s goals of creating a more equitable and trust-based sector. Using their strategic communications skills, they will lead a range of communications efforts, including the Project’s storytelling work, communications strategy, editorial calendar, and digital media, including day-to-day social media management. Using their expertise in supporting and building engaged communities, they will lead the Trust-Based Philanthropy Peer Exchange, orient new community members, and facilitate more spaces for supporting the growing community of trust-based funders.

Our newest team member will embody trust-based values and a deep commitment to addressing and redistributing power in philanthropy, and have at least five years of experience managing engagement and/or communications campaigns in the philanthropic sector. Along with communications skills, they will bring strong interpersonal skills and a proactive, collaborative work style.

About Us

The Communications and Engagement Lead will join a small, dedicated all-remote team. Our current staff structure consists of a full-time executive director, part-time learning coordinator, and part-time collaboration coordinator, all based in the Bay Area. We also work with a few trusted consultants to support our communications, web, and graphic design needs. Our work is governed by a highly engaged steering committee of foundation leaders that meet monthly with the executive director to inform overarching project strategy.

We strive for a working environment that encourages and models showing up authentically. We recognize that we all wear multiple hats and that our work is not the only thing that defines us. We know that this sometimes requires flexibility in schedules and availability; and we strive for a culture wherein we build and maintain trust by holding ourselves accountable to one another.

Compensation and Timeline

This is a fully remote full-time staff position of 40 hours per week with a salary range of $80-110K, depending on experience and location. The Communications and Engagement Lead reports to the Executive Director, and may be based anywhere in the U.S., with a slight preference for Northern California.

To apply, please send a cover letter and resume by Friday March 25th to hello@trustbasedphilanthropy.org with the subject heading: Communications & Engagement Lead.
