We are seeking a communications specialist who also has a passion for social justice, for this new role. Reporting to the CEO, you will use your skills and experience to make a transformative impact on our external profile and communications and on our internal communications. The ideal applicant will have outstanding communication skills and have the ability to support our fundraising initiatives by working collaboratively with the Fundraising Manager to develop content of interest to supporters and grantmakers.
