CONTENT & COMMUNICATIONS LEAD

As Content & Communications Lead, you will shape the voice and storytelling strategy of a mission-driven nonprofit dedicated to disaster recovery and helping children return to school. You will oversee content across blogs, email campaigns, social media, and digital platforms, turning real community experiences into compelling stories that inspire engagement and support fundraising goals. Working closely with communications, development, operations, and creative teams, you will ensure messaging remains consistent, authentic, and centered on the dignity of affected communities. You will also lead rapid-response communications during disasters, delivering accurate and timely updates in fast-moving, high-pressure environments. Between activations, you will maintain a strategic editorial calendar and build a steady pipeline of impactful, reusable content. This role is ideal for an experienced storyteller who combines editorial excellence, creative versatility, and a strong commitment to humanitarian impact.

The ideal candidate is an experienced multimedia storyteller with excellent writing skills, strong editorial judgment, and the ability to deliver high-quality content under tight deadlines. You should be comfortable balancing planned communications with urgent response needs, working across cultures, and representing vulnerable communities responsibly.
