Lead communications strategy and execution for government agencies, including crisis management and media relations.
Experienced communications leader with expertise in strategic communications, media relations, and crisis management, but limited direct marketing and volunteer leadership experience.
Mission: Why does the role exist? This role exists to build and manage a sustainable marketing and communications department at Statistics Without Borders, positioning SWB as a recognized global force for positive change and maximizing the number of high-quality clients with whom SWB engages. This role also sits on the SWB Executive Committee and will contribute meaningfully to strategic SWB work that extends beyond marketing. Outcomes: What 4-6 things will the role need to achieve over the next 2 years that will define its legacy? • Build on our current processes — or develop structure where gaps currently exist — to articulate, quantify, and communicate SWB’s impact across its projects, clients, and volunteers. • Empower SWB to significantly and sustainably scale up its number of projects per year, including new channels of demand generation, via marketing. • Integrate demand generation, content, and branding activities seamlessly across the full suite of SWB work. • Once the current structure is set up for success, expand the scope of marketing. This might include: • Building out a strategic partnerships function that cultivates high-quality, mutually beneficial relationships between SWB and other organizations via a repeatable process. • Developing a product or education function that allows SWB to accomplish its mission above and beyond our current pro bono project offerings. • Build and maintain a strategic roadmap for the above, including goals and metrics to assess progress toward goals. Competencies: What role specific skills and experiences are needed to be successful? Strongly desired: • Previous experience leading demand generation, business development, lead generation, or content teams. • Previous experience leading volunteers, especially remotely or across time zones. • Building and executing marketing and branding strategies, including change management to implement new plans across teams. • Demonstrated experience creating fast, sustainable growth via marketing & communications. • Comfort experimenting with new processes. Desired: • Experience building corporate or executive communications (e.g. annual reports, annual meetings) • Experience working with not-for-profit organizations or non-governmental organizations.
