  • Lead on prepping EMPath spokespeople for interviews.
  • Assist with managing our story-sharing initiative, including working closely with EMPath program participants to lift up their stories in the press and other communications in an ethical, consent-informed, and respectful way.
  • Support other EMPath communications, including:
    1. Draft blog posts, including conducting interviews and research to write original pieces
    2. Make needed updates on our public website to effectively communicate EMPath’s work and latest news
    3. Create designed collateral that is clear, concise, and follows EMPath’s branding guidelines
    4. Support efforts to create cohesive brand and messaging across organization
  • Contribute to organization-wide communications strategy and calendar.
  • Work with Institutional Advancement (IA) team to put on fundraising events and play a support role for other IA department needs that arise.


KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS AND ABILITIES

  • Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience is required.
  • A minimum of three years of experience in marketing and communications, journalism, or related experience. Nonprofit experience a big plus.
  • Track record of securing story placements for organizations that map back to strategic communications goals; track record of building key relationships with reporters; deep consumer of the news; passionate about elevating issues and organization in the news media.
  • Exceptional writing skills, good at identifying stories and telling them in a compelling way.
  • Basic experience with Adobe Creative Suite, including InDesign; able to update or create simple files. A good eye for clean and compelling design. Experience with branding guidelines is a plus.
  • Can effectively establish priorities and juggle multiple and competing demands.
