Here's what we're looking for in a Marketing Specialist: 

Causewave Community Partners is launching a new Shared Services marketing team — a grant-funded initiative that brings professional marketing and communications support to regional nonprofit organizations. The Marketing Specialist is the hands-on executor of that support: bringing plans to life through content creation, social media, and marketing collateral for a portfolio of partner organizations. This is a great opportunity for a marketing professional early in their career to get broad, varied experience across many organizations and mission areas, working closely with the Senior Director of Marketing & Communications and Senior Marketing Manager to plan and execute strategic marketing initiatives for partner organizations. 

The Marketing Specialist will be responsible for executing a wide range of marketing and communications engagements with diverse nonprofit partners and mission areas. These may include: 

● Providing general marketing support and coordination across multiple partner organizations at once, prioritizing according to guidance from the Senior Marketing Manager and Senior Director. 

● Build and maintain positive day-to-day relationships with partner organizations, operating as a helpful extension of their team and delivering work with a high level of customer service and care. 

● Executing social media content and posting on behalf of partner organizations, following approved content calendars. 

● Supporting the development of materials and collateral such as social graphics, one-pagers, mailers, FAQ language, and email templates within established co-brand and organizational guidelines. 

● Supporting website and landing page content updates. 

● Assisting with distribution and posting of press releases, email announcements, and other external communications drafted in partnership with the Senior Marketing Manager. 

● Supporting the coordination and execution of traditional and digital advertising campaigns. 

● Supporting event planning and in-person communications activities as needed. 

● Supporting vendor engagement and management. 

● Tracking and report on basic marketing metrics (e.g., social engagement, email performance) for partner organizations. 

● Helping maintain organized files and documentation of client work to support day-to-day delivery and grant reporting. 

Here are some other things to consider when evaluating if this role is right for you: 

● Doer: You enjoy hands-on creative and content work and take pride in producing polished, on-brand deliverables. 

● Relationship builder: You enjoy people and value building deep collaborative working relationships, with your team and with the partner organizations you support. 

● Communicator: You can write clearly and adapt tone and content for different organizations and audiences. 

● Organized: You can juggle requests from multiple partner organizations at once without letting details slip. 

● Curious: You're excited to learn quickly across many different mission areas and organizational contexts. 

● Creative? 

Preferred experience: 

● 2–4 years of professional marketing/communications experience or equivalent internship/coursework. 

● Experience with social media platforms and content creation tools (e.g., Canva, Meta Business Suite, Squarespace or similar). 

● Something about project management? 

● Interest in or exposure to the nonprofit sector preferred, either professionally or as a volunteer. 

● Strong writing skills and attention to detail. 

● Bachelor's degree in marketing, communications, or related field preferred (or equivalent experience).
