The Manager of Marketing and Communications is NPLF’s execution engine for marketing, communications, and donor engagement — turning the organization’s strategy set by the Director of Marketing and Communications into consistent, high-quality work across digital channels, the website, social media, branch relationships, and event promotion. This role also owns day-to-day donor stewardship and communications support, and partners with the Director of Community Giving to engage the community in branches. This is a hands-on, owner’s role for someone who wants to build and run the systems behind NPLF’s marketing and donor engagement. Learn More.
