  • Provide strategic counsel to senior leaders; prepare principals for interviews, panels, and thought leadership engagements. 
  • Monitor results, set KPIs, and manage budgets and agency partnerships with a focus on impact and continuous improvement. 
  • Anticipate risks, protect brand reputation, and adapt strategies quickly in a fast-moving environment. 


    • What You Will Bring
  • 8+ years of experience in nonprofit, philanthropy, or PR/agency communications with proven media results. 
  • Strong writing and editing skills; ability to simplify complex issues into compelling stories. 
  • Demonstrated success leading earned media strategies and managing high-stakes communications. 
  • Experience navigating a matrixed organization and aligning multiple stakeholders. 
  • A relationship-builder who thrives in fast-paced, dynamic environments and can influence at senior levels. 
  • Leadership ability to mentor and develop talent, while collaborating across teams and partners. 
  • Enthusiasm to contribute to Stand Together's vision and principled approach to solving problems, and a commitment to stewarding our culture, which champions values including transformation and innovation, entrepreneurialism, humility, and respect.
