Senior Communications Manager

Job Title: Senior Communications Manager

Supervisory Responsibilities: None

Hiring Salary Range: $125,000-$145,000

SUMMARY

The Senior Communications Manager works under the guidance and direction of the Director, Strategic Communications to help define, enhance and execute a consistent communications strategy that articulates the Foundation’s vision and advances the impact of both the Foundation and the Children’s Equity Fund (CEF) ─ its sister 501(c)(4) organization ─ across internal and external audiences. The ability to integrate content across programs through close collaboration with staff is required and includes editing, proofreading, and the production of a variety of corporate and marketing communications materials. The Senior Communications Manager ensures that communications are accurate, clear, and complete; correct in terms of spelling, grammar, punctuation, and editorial style; and that they maintain a tone and voice that is consistent with the overall brand of the Foundation. The Senior Communications Manager will serve as the backup lead for the communications team during the absence of the Director of Strategic Communications. This person will play a key role in developing strategy and will help to navigate the complexities and many moving parts involved in executing a cohesive strategy.

The work of both the foundation and the CEF is structured through a portfolio of interconnected initiatives. All staff connects and synthesizes knowledge across teams to further both organizations’ Missions and Visions. Therefore, this person may be assigned to any of the Foundation or CEF’s initiatives based on initiative cycles and evolving organizational needs.

Diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) is who we are and what we do. It is not separate but at the heart of our work. We are committed to driving change that centers communities and results in equitable societies, starting with a commitment to equity and inclusion for our staff. Specifically, we have committed to center racial equity and become an antiracist organization. Our team is expected to demonstrate and uphold our core values, our organizational culture expectations, and our commitment to DEI in every facet of their work. The Foundation strongly encourages and seeks applications from all qualified individuals whose racial, socioeconomic, ability status, and other individual dimensions allow them to bring unique and diverse perspectives. As part of this commitment, we expect all staff to gather, care for, use and openly share knowledge in ways that advance equity, support shared learning, and amplify community expertise.
