Director of Brand Strategy, Marketing & Communications
WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR
The Director of Brand Strategy, Marketing & Communications is responsible for the development of Climb Hire’s brand identity as a leader in the national workforce development/career advancement space and for the strategic leadership + oversight of marketing campaigns that drive outcomes. Because Climb Hire is a national program, we’re bullish on digital marketing and expect the Director of Brand Strategy, Marketing & Communications to be ready to help us execute on that. Because we're in a growth stage, we also expect the Director of Brand Strategy, Marketing & Communications to help us create the culture we’re looking for with strong internal communications and personnel/performance management that aligns with the values of the organization—strong people management skills are a must.
WHY NOW?
We project significant growth in the coming year. We know the tactics that got us to where we are will not get us where we need to go. In year one, you can expect to lead (with your 2 direct reports and a healthy budget for consultants) projects like a brand refresh, a website redesign (goodbye Squarespace; hello Wordpress or basically anything else), an earned media campaign, and a digital marketing strategy overhaul. If you're hungry to make big things happen fast, you're gonna love this place.

• Work cross-functionally (for example, with the admissions, alumni affairs, government affairs, and employer partnerships teams) to develop a comprehensive understanding of the organization and its stakeholders’ priorities—from audience prioritization to their customers’ level of brand awareness.
• Facilitate a culture of communication by creating norms around value propositions for new learning tracks, consistent communications with customers and prospective customers, and steady rhythms of internal communication.
• Facilitate a culture of accountability by modeling ownership of commitments and coaching your team to do the same
